It's not a masterpiece like The Fly (1986), but it's a super-great and brilliant movie which surely deserves revaluation. It's underrated and overlooked.
I love Eric Stoltz's performance, it's very intense. The story is astonishing, charming and thrilling, plenty of ideas, twists and action. It's a pure sci-fi horror work. The final creature, Martinfly, is a must.
Chris Walas did a terrific job with this sequel. It's not a pale Hollywood-like rehash of the first movie, but a new imaginative movie in its own right. And it was a hit nonetheless. It grossed almost 39 million dollars wordwide, on a 7-12 million dollars budget. Also, it performed very well in the home video department.
By the way: if someone owns a copy of The Fly (1986), and can check a scene for me, please contact me via PM. Thanks.
