The original The Fly starring Vincent Price was a successful pop culture blend of Sci-fi and mystery with the end result venturing into the horror realm. Cronenberg refashions the film into another one of his Horror of the body films with a sympathetic lead character. Although he looked little like a fly until the last transformation the emphasis in the film is on gross and gooey horror rather than sci-fi. A very good film.
