The Fly film franchise is one of Hollywood’s best cult properties, and there is a “third” installment that few know exists. In 1986, visionary director David Cronenberg unleashed his remake of The Fly, starring Jeff Goldblum. A massive hit, it led to a less than inspiring sequel, The Fly II. While this movie may have killed the franchise’s momentum, IDW nevertheless published a sequel, titled The Fly: Outbreak. p573p

The sci-fi horror classic The Fly is getting a follow-up, and from what’s known about it so far, it could be the closest we get to David Cronenberg’s canceled follow-up project. Few sci-fi movies have had the impact that David Cronenberg’s 1986 The Fly had. Loosely based on George Langelaan’s 1957 short story of the same name and the 1958 film adaptation of it, The Fly introduced the world to Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), an eccentric but brilliant scientist working on a secret project. When he meets science journalist Ronnie Quaife (Geena Davis), Seth shows her his invention: telepods for teleportation.

A surprise spinoff to David Cronenberg's 1986 horror classic The Fly is now in the works, with a new director having been revealed for the movie. A remake of the 1958 movie of the same name, The Fly is often regarded as one of Cronenberg's scariest movies, following scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) who, while testing a teleportation device, becomes infused with fly DNA. The movie received critical acclaim and was a box office success. However, its 1989 sequel, The Fly II, was critically panned.

Monsters of all kinds have fascinated humanity for millennia, oftentimes as an explanation for some of the world's most confounding ills and sources of fear. From sabertooth tigers painted on cave walls to modern horror movies, humans have memorialized the nightmarish bogeymen that have imprinted themselves on history. Contemporary pop culture is now marked by the latest interpretations of vampires, aliens, werewolves, and demons, all of which have proven impervious to the march of time.

Hulu's Prey, released in August 2022, saw the return of one of horror's most advanced and dangerous killers in the genre. While the predator certainly has a healthy arsenal of alien weaponry under his belt, he's not the only horror character to utilize technology to their benefit.

The year 2022 has been a particularly good year for campy creature features, with movies like Crabs! And Wolfkin offering up the same sort of schlocky fun one associates with creature features of the 1950s.

The recent box office success of Jurassic World Dominion indicates that there is not only a great deal of life left in this venerable franchise but also that there is still an appetite for good science fiction movie storytelling. In fact, the genre is one of the most venerable and established in Hollywood, being often used to showcase new types of moviemaking technology.

Men and Crimes of the Future are two 2022 movies that proved there's still a place for innovative body horror in the movies. The term describes a popular subgenre that displays grotesque and usually disturbing violations and transformations of the body, usually manifesting due to the influence of mysterious forces, wicked mutations, and ultraviolence.

With David Cronenberg returning to his roots with the body horror movie Crimes of the Future, it's fascinating to look back at the subgenre he helped pioneer. Body horror takes something everyone can relate to (physical health, appearance, etc.), and gets scares from disturbing transformations of human flesh.

Jeff Goldblum returns to one of Hollywood's most successful franchises with Jurassic World Dominion. The veteran actor reprises his role as mathematician and chaos theorist Ian Malcolm, reuniting with his co-stars from the original Jurassic Park, Sam Neill and Laura Dern.
