Curse of the Fly (1965)


Let me cut straight to the chase: There’s only one thing I expect from sequels, and that’s continuity. If you have “The Fly” in your title, is it so hard to remain consistent within the rest of the series? Yeah, the Evil Dead movies fucked with continuity all the time, but here it’s just unforgivable. And without Vincent Price thrown in the mix it becomes unwatchable. The plot has something to do with the third generation of scientists; apparently they’ve implemented the re-integrator machines around the world and—what a surprise—they still haven’t worked out all the kinks yet. It’s essentially the same movie as before, it’s just all done in a very incompetent and vapid way. Meh to the third power.

I wasn't aware of this one' it sounds like I didn't miss out on anything. :)
I've seen the first two, and like you the first one gave me the wiggins as a kid. I was much too young to be watching that kind of thing.

It's no wonder you never heard of it; apparently it was never released on any home media format until 2007...and for good reason, too. Flies wouldn't even touch this turd. :P
