Certainly one of the best Cronenberg films out there. Goldblum is divine as the mad scientist of the 80s

Great slow burn body horror. The practical effects are amazing. Acting is pretty good. Story is predictable though.

When I watched as a kid I was there for the gore but after a rewatch it’s actually a super great movie.

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.

With some of the best special effects in movie history, Cronenberg shows that remakes can be great if done correctly.
