At the end of David Cronenberg's horror hit, The Fly, Veronica Quaife is left pregnant with the child of Seth Brundle, uncertain of what effect the mutant housefly genes that destroyed her lover might have on their child. First-time director Chris Walas - who as makeup effects supervisor had won an Oscar for the first film - was given an opportunity to explore the possibilities in The Fly II. Reuniting key members of his makeup and effects unit for the sequel, Walas translated onto film the physical metamorphosis of young Martin Brundle from normal human being to murderours mutant insect. |
