Certainly one of the best Cronenberg films out there. Goldblum is divine as the mad scientist of the 80s
Jeff gave me my first job in Hollywood. Love everything he does.
Not as iconic as the original, but Cronenberg's brilliance with body horror is on full display, as is Goldblum's over the top performance.
Actually pretty entertaining even though it is pretty predictable
A fantastic science-fiction romance. Jeff Goldblum is super hot in this one. 😉😉
A great story that’s wickedly gross and entertaining from start to finish!
FINALLY watched this movie! And wish I never had… a seriously affecting horror film. Time and disease out of man’s control takes hold.
Grotesque as much as it is influential. Goldblum makes this film.
With some of the best special effects in movie history, Cronenberg shows that remakes can be great if done correctly.
Good sci-fi horror movie, classic of the genre and worth watching
