Classic werewolf tale rendered as a laboratory opera. It's the 80's so there's shades of AIDS and cocaine running through Brundlefly's transformation, where Goldblum turns in his finest performance under pounds of makeup to sell the tragedy. Certain peripheral effects are dated but the final mutation sequence is one for the ages, you cannot get that kind of visceral power from CGI.

Cronenberg takes a creepy, cheesy, and fun 1950s B-movie and turns it into a completely disgusting and thought provoking work of art. Takes a slow but steady pace as it plays out a central metaphor that could stand for any disease or slowly progressing syndrome, really driving it home by highlighting the darkly comedic tragedy of it all. A depressing and haunting experience. Goldblum plays a nerdy, awkward dude to perfection, but who would doubt that he couldn't?

The effects are wonderful, especially the final bits of transformation at the end, but what really makes the movie I think are the performances. Goldblum is at his best and Geena Davis plays the whole thing perfectly.

BACK-FILLING WHOLE LOT OF FILMS NOT SEEN FOR A LONG, LONG TIME -> Recall/Scores may be 20-30% off. Not at all offended, grateful actually, if anyone wants 2 drop me a cordial msg if think memory dulled a gem or gave a rosy tint to a clunker. IE. Tell me WHY I am wrong & what U think I should've scored. Love film chat/debate
