No doubt about it, this is classic, B-grade entertainment at its very best. This 1958 science-fiction/horror flick captured the imagination as it told of a scientist's doomed experiment with his amazing new teleporter, an experiment that would see his world changed forever.
Kurt Neumann's film about a mutant fly is always fun, though one has to forgive the ordinary 50's f/x and makeup, as well as much over acting from Patricia Owens in support of a cardboard performance from Al Hedison, who is much more convincing with a black cloak on his head. One can't help but enjoy Vincent Price however as concerned brother Phillippe.
Forget the 1986 remake, this is the original and the best.
