1986 ***1/2 95 mins.
In this highly entertaining little horror film, Jeff Goldblum plays a scientist who has perfected the science of teleportation. During an experiment, though, a pesky little housefly gets into the pod with him. Not knowing what to do, the computer splices the two together. Now, only time can tell what fate will befall our hero. Jeff Goldblum is marvelous, and the direction is top-notch. The ending does trail a bit into a typical gore-fest, but this film still entertains and shocks the viewer to the core.
Rated R for gore, sexual content, slight nudity, and language.
