    Brian Donlevy takes over from Vincent Price as the mad doctor experimenting with teleportation through the fourth dimension in this average second sequel to monster hit The Fly. Unfortunately, he still can't get the matter transmissions right, and the mutant results of his labours are locked in a closet, ready to scare his son's unbalanced wife (Carole Gray). Journeyman director Don Sharp's talent for shock effects gets lost amid the stiff acting, slow pacing and cheap production values, but the odd moment of eerie atmosphere does occasionally surface.

    great B movie fun

    George Baker with a slipping Canadian accent Brian Donlevy as the mad scientist grandson of the original creator of teleport technology and subsequently the B movie monster known as the fly!

    I saw this movie when I was a kid and it seemed more scary then, but they always do when you're young.

    This is a British take on the original fly movies wrongly panned as inferior by many of the critics.

    This is a atmospheric horror movie in its own right.

    There is no fly this time around, but there is insanity,the strange Delambre families inherited aging diseases and allergies to the cold, half human beasts kept locked away in stables a lot of this is very H.P Lovecraft if your a fan of Lovecraft as I am you will notice a lot of his themes running through this movie.If viewed with an open mind this film is very enjoyable, the monsters are not that scary, but they're not meant to be, they are really a psychological threat lurking in the background and there's a bit of a twist at the end. Great Fun.

    The Fly Part III

    With Vincent Price having signed to AIP, Brian Donlevy (aka Quatermass) takes over the mantle as head Delambre in this, the final film of the original 'Fly' series, before Cronenberg re-invented the story. Much darker in tone than the previous two films, the film ultimately suffers from a limited budget and some cronically bad acting, but more than makes up with a cracking storyline and a 'poetic justice' conclusion. Filmed in gloomy monochrome, it really makes for unsettling viewing in some scenes: rather like a cheap version of the original 'The Haunting'...
