Affectionately regarded by many horror aficionados, The Fly is truly a
b-movie, with David Hedison teleporting himself but failing to see the
uninvited guest in his teleportation device, the eponymous insect.
The results are comic, if affecting: Hedison has a fly's head and
"claw", but remains semi-human and thus cognisant of his
situation. As his mind begins to disintegrate the predictable
melodrama ensues. But all is salvaged by the film's final image. A fly
with a human head caught in a spider's web, quietly pleading "Help
me..."
