On a side note, I saw the opera version of The Fly last year, and it was basically Cronenberg's version of events, but set in the time period of the original. It was a really weird choice.

(The other was Straight-Jacket with Joan Crawford.) I got my parents to watch it with me with all the lights on. I don't remember how old I was. My parents warned me that it might be scary. At the time, I was sleeping with a night light. I don't know why my parents agreed to let me watch it. It took years until I was embarrassingly quite old before I could sleep without a night light. Drew, this movie might be too scary for you. Seriously, this is one of the two childhood movies that gave me nightmares for years. (The other was Straight-Jacket with Joan Crawford.)
