His dick was in the medicine cabinet!?

I'm talking about the Cronenberg movie. My parents weren't super-rich with cable or anything so I never saw this as a youngster. WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS TELL ME THAT THIS MOVIE WAS THIS GOOD? The ladyfriend just kinda randomly checked it out from the library and it totally unexpectedly freaked the shit out of us. It's amazing that a monster movie from 1986 holds up so well. I think it's because really, by that time, they had taken practical monster makeup/effects as far as they was gonna go, and also the director skillfully gets you to sympathize with the main character and buy in to the story so once the sfx start you're on board and invested. Too bad in looks like the Fly 2 is a stinker. Eric Stoltz? They could've just had the son of the fly be the guy from the mask.

When he casually pulls one of his fingernails off.... eugh.
