Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes Pic!
Today we look at one of the go-to examples of remakes that work. David Cronenberg’s The Fly works because of it bringing a modern sensibility to a really cheesy ‘50s B movie and telling the tale in a rather grotesque, grim way.
My parents were very lax with my movie-watching as a kid, but for whatever reason the VHS tape that had both The Fly and Aliens on it was off limits. I doubt it was Aliens that caused them to put this one on top of their dresser where I couldn’t reach it (without a chair, I quickly figured out).
The Fly is just a gross movie. In tone, in execution, in photography… just gross. And that’s why I love it. Today we look at one of the effects technicians touching up some of the gross effects. Click to enlargen!
If you have a behind the scenes shot you’d like to submit to this column, you can email me at quint@aintitcool.com.
Wait! Tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes pic said not to go into the light!
