i is for... insects The Fly

David Cronenberg, 1986

The pinnacle of grim body horror where insect DNA mixes with Jeff Goldblum’s to gradually erode his humanity, distancing him from love interest Geena Davis. An allegory of ageing and self disgust as man becomes insect while trying to hold onto his soul. The 1958 version is completely different – a tragic love story but very much worth watching too.
