Plot
A scientist's teleportation experiment goes wrong and he slowly transforms into a human-insect hybrid.
Sinekatalog’s take
David Cronenberg's body-horror classic is also a tragic love story. Jeff Goldblum is superb as the scientist who slowly decays, and the effects and emotion both still hit hard.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
