The Fly II Review

Review of The Fly II (1989) by screenqueeen: 👍 3.5/5

99/100

this is pretty good! original enough that it doesn't feel lifted too heavily from Cronenberg's reinterpretation and the effects are surprisingly of quality. a couple times during this i thought about what a SPECIES/FLY crossover would look like but hey, i've seen all the SPECIES movies and could probably give some accurate predictions, most of them likely being no better than 2 or 3\*. i'm not a big dog person but that scene made me emotional. kitten unharmed however. give this a chance and divorce it from the expectations that it must live up to the level of filmmaking that the first film set.

\*i am an unapologetic SPECIES 4 slut and will not be taking any questions at this time regarding that. go read my review if you're curious.
