The Fly (Original vs Remake)

The Fly


Original
Remake
1958
1986
Actors: David Hedison, Vincent Price & Patricia Owens
Actors: Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis & John Getz
Director: Kurt Newmann
Director: David Cronenburg
Run Time: 1hour 34 minutes
Run Time: 1hour 36 Minutes
Acting: For me was not that impressive as a matter of fact it was ordinary for the 50s & 60s.

Acting: Jeff Goldblum shined in this version and played his role like only he could.
Effects: Not that the 50s had the best special effects but even for it's day this film lacked for quality effects.
Effects: In the 80s, special effects were starting to evolve and this film was (imo) very much in the forefront of that evolution.


Review:
While both films had the same basic plot, the storylines itself separate these two movies. To me, there is a clear winner between them, the remake.
