The Fly is a 1986 science fiction-horror film co-written and directed by David Cronenberg. Produced by 20th Century Fox and Brooksfilms, the film stars Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis and John Getz. It is a remake of the 1958 film of the same name, but retains only the basic premise of a scientist accidentally merging with a housefly during a teleportation experiment. It is notable for the line, "Be afraid. Be very afraid." and some critics saw the film as a metaphor for the AIDS epidemic. The score was composed by Howard Shore and the make-up effects were created by Chris Walas, who won the Academy Award for Best Makeup.
