The Fly

Drama Horror Science Fiction

In Montreal, the industrial François Delambre is called late night by his sister-in-law Helene Delambre. She tells him that she has just killed her beloved husband Andre Delambre, using the press of their plant to press his head and left hand. François calls his acquaintance, Inspector Charas, and later the reluctant Helene is convinced to tell them what happened. She explains that Andre had invented a matter transportation apparatus, and while experimenting with himself, a fly entered the chamber, exchanging one hand and the head with him after the transference.

The Fly (1958), directed by Kurt Neumann, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original theatrical 4.0, commentary track, and subtitles in English, Spanish, and German.

IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051622/

Video encoded in two-pass 12.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Text subtitles converted to SRT, image subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.

Note : While Cronenberg's 1986 remake is still the definitive version to me, this 1958 original is a great opportunity to compare and contrast. Much less graphic, of course, but also told in a flashback structure, and much more of a mystery as to what really happened, and a character drama between the scientist's wife and his brother, it's a completely different approach, but pretty effective. The effects are as good as they can be, and generally work well, and, of course, this is the film that put Vincent Price on the map as a horror actor, though he's not even the lead. Rest of the cast includes David Hedison, Patricia Owens, and Herbert Marshall.

Scientist André Delambre is found dead crushed in a mechanical press, and his wife Hélène seems to be the murderer. However, she refuses to provide a motive, and is obsessed with flies, in particular looking for a fly with a white head. Delambre's brother tells her he's caught the fly to get her to tell him what happened, and she recounts a strange story of Delambre's experiments with teleportation, and what happened to him when a fly got in the teleportation chamber the first time he tried the machine on himself.

This is in no way a great remaster, it looks like a telecine, and as such is a bit fuzzy and dull, but it's an ok watch. 4.0 track sounds good, commentary track is interesting enough.

Hot tip

Quote:

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk sci-fi horror” for more daring experiments gone horribly wrong, “hevk body horror” for more transformations and mutations of the human body, or “hevk 50s” for more from the decade of atomic scares and sci-fi horror.
