Completely different story than the Jeff Holdblum remake. This is a great campy '60s horror classic. It definitely has one good OMG! moment.
A classic 50’s drive-in horror movie, about when science goes wrong. Inspired a remake with Jeffrey Goldblum. It’s still fun to watch.
Pretty good suspense film for the 50s. Not exactly "horror" but good science gone wrong film.
solid classic horror movie, the ending really freaked me out as a kid
Fun campy horror film. Bonus points for Vincent Price.
An horror classic. Watch the remake though
At the time a really unique and creepy movie. Doesn’t hold up well but worth a look.
Definitely holds it's own against the 1986 remake. A little dated, sure but the effects still hold up and it's still unsettlingly enjoyable.
Good classic. Has an unsettling feel to it that still works nowadays
You might laugh at this movie, but it is highly influential to the horror genre.

Industrialist François Delambre is called late at night by his sister-in-law, Helene, who tells him that she has just killed her husband. Reluctant at first, she eventually explains to the police that he invented a matter transportation apparatus and, while experimenting on himself, a fly entered the chamber.
Fifteen years after his father's experiments with matter transmission fail, Philippe Delambre and his uncle François attempt to create a matter transmission device on their own. However, their experiments have disastrous results, turning Philippe into a horrible half-man, half-fly creature.
The son of the inventor of a matter-transporter, which turned him into a monster when he tried to transport himself along with a tiny housefly, continues to pursue his father's experiment, while his own two sons attempt to extricate him, themselves and the family name from further disaster and scandal.
