Chilling and intriguing third sequel about scientists experimenting with teleportation resulting in unexpected and horrible consequences

A strange sequel in which doesn' appear the fly , being developed weird incidents about the amazing effects of the teletransportation . Concerning Dalambre father : Brian Donlevy , an obstinate scientist going on experiments around the experimental teleportation by means a device , being helped by his son Martin Delambre : George Baker . The latter decides to take a wife : Carole Gray who results to have escaped from a mental hospital where was locked . Along the way , Police inspectors are investigating the bizarre happenings. The Horror is Back ! All New and more horrific than before ! Piece by Piece.. Atom by Atom.. Humans invisibly teleported through Time and Space !!! What made Them half-human creatures from the 4th Dimension ?A thrilling and terrifying film with chills , intrigue , suspense , astonishing transformations and fantasic scenes. It is a shocking horror movie , campy but slowly and traditionally made . Although the film is passable as a simple entertainment , as long as it's compared with the two previous entries and nothing to do with The Fly I and Return of the Fly . Focusing on science risks more than the Fly issue . That's why this Curse of the Fly is a perfect example of the dangers of attempting to control and exploit nature . The picture was professional but regularly directed by Don Sharp . He was a good British craftsman who directed all kinds of genres, thrillers , adventures , suspense , Fantasy , Sci-Fi , Terror , such as : "The Kiss of the Vampire , The Face of Fumanchu, The Brides of Fumanchu, Rocket to the Moon , Psychomania , Callan , Hennessy , The Four Feathers , The Thirty-Nine Steps, Bear Island , Secrets of the Phantoms Caverns" .This is the third part of "Fly Trilogy" , the first : "The Fly 1958" by Kurt Neumann with David Hedison , Patricia Owens , Vincent Price , Herbert Marshall. "Return of the Fly 1959" by Edward L Bernds with Vincent Price, Brett Hasley , John Sutton . "Curse of the Fly 1965" with Brian Donlevy , Carole Gray , George Baker and Burt Kwouk of Pink Panther series. Furthermore , modern retelling "The Fly 1986" by David Cronemberg with Jeff Godblum , Geena Davis , John Getz and "The Fly 2 1988" by Chris Wallas with Eric Stolz , Daphne Zuñiga , John Getz , Lee Richardson.

You can tell you are not in the 1950s anymore in this 3rd Fly film

You can tell you are not in the 1950s anymore as the film opens with a salacious scene. The lovely and sultry Carol Grey wriggles out a window in her white nylon bra and panties under a very reflective full moon. She runs away in slow motion giving the leering audience every possible angle of her shapely buttocks jiggling down the lawn. Not only was this an obvious pandering but a significant step away from 50's button-down, pearl necklace sensibilities. She runs away from a lunatic asylum to be picked up by a scientist (who obviously had more sex in mind than good samaritan). Unfortunately he's part of the experiments started in the Fly.Vincent Price is not in this Fly film since by this time he was under contract to another studio. However, I found this film to be better than its reputation. The Delambres, despite what has happened in the two previous films, have continued to experiment with the teleporter. The result has been more subtle but just has horrific. Now the Delambres are a family with various physical and mental ailments that are in danger of disintegration if an answer cannot be found. Oddly enough, after all the tragedy, they still think the answer to their troubles is the the teleporter. Many people don't like this film because it is quite a departure from the first two, but I think that is its strength.The production code may not be dead at this point, but it is on life support. Plus this film was made in the UK and not subject to the old production code anyways. Probably worth a look if you liked the first two.
