In this sequel to David Cronenberg's 1986 "The Fly" (a remake of the 1958 sci-fi classic) the son of the original Fly is raised in a laboratory under the watchful eye of Bartok, an evil scientist who wants to exploit him. Born encased in an insect sac (which results in his mother's death), by the age of five the junior Fly is a fully grown adult and scientific genius. Before mutating into a horrible insect like his dad, he attempts to complete work on his father's teleportation machine, do away with Bartok, and have a love affair with a female research scientist.

It has some of the most graphic blood effects I’ve seen, including a head popping like a zit under and elevator and a man whose face is dissolved away in corrosive fly vomit.

The less said about The Fly 2, or Son of Brundlefly, the better.

It's got nothing on Cronenberg's original - or the Vincent Price classic, but it is an disgustingly cool continuation of the story.interesting

Vicious, ugly and brutal. That's the good news, because the first two acts are pretty dull.
