The Fly

LORELAI: You didn’t build one of those machines like in The Fly did you? We’re not going to find you wandering the streets wearing a raspberry head crying, “Eat me!”

The Fly is a 1958 sci-fi horror film directed by Kurt Neuman, based on the short story of the same name by George Langlaan. In the film, a scientist mutates into a human fly after accidentally mixing his atoms with that of a fly which flew into his matter transportation machine. At one point, he can be heard crying, “Save me!”.

The film was a commercial success, and is now regarded as a superior example of a 1950s B-Grade sci-fi film. Sadly, the director died a few weeks after the film’s premiere, never realising he had made the hit of his career.
