A body horror Tragedy of crazy proportions. Cronenberg delivers the gore you come to his movies for, but it's Jeff Goldblum at his peak Goldblum. Playing an awkward scientist, Goldblum carries the movie with her performance and is incredibly likable and endearing, which makes the latter half of the film hit hard. Way better than the 50's version.

I can’t believe I put this off for so long. I thought this was fantastic. I like that it’s small scale and not overly complicated. Goldblum is excellent in practically two roles and the practical effects are very well done and quite creepy. I was not expecting such a tragic ending either. That really earned this movie a place in my all-time favorite horror movies. I don’t really have much of anything to complain about here. It’s just really well done from all corners.

Goldblum is fantastic, and Davis is great as well! They worked really well on screen together, and their chemistry really showed. The effects in this great, and I'm amazed I haven't heard much about them. The pacing in the beginning was a bit fast, but It eventually found it's groove and worked really well. Would definitely recommend if you're a sci-fi fan!

This remake of the 1950's film is much darker and disturbing than the original. As with most Cronenberg films, there is an emphasis on body horror and the practical effects achieve a new level of twisted. I really feel, though, that Goldblum carries the film with his calculated performance of a descent into madness that makes the film's more outlandish moments hit harder because of the character behind them.

A clever spin on the old consequences-of-messing-with-nature plot, only this time Goldblum's character is not a mad genius but rather a victim of his own experiment gone awry. He is excellent, and his horrific transformation generates much sympathy. It's to his credit, as well as Cronenberg's, that it plays effectively as tragedy rather than camp or farce, because it's a fine line with this kind of material. Davis is also noteworthy in an early breakout role.
