The Curse Of The Fly (1965)

Delambre Name The Only Real Connection

The Delambre name is the only real connection to the first two films of the series. Phillippe is renamed Henri; Henri was the name in the short story not Phillippe but it would have made more sense in this 3rd film to keep his name Phillippe (a lot less confusing that way since it was changed to Henri in the first film).

Also do not expect to see any Fly in this film. The teleportation device still has quite a few problems but flies are not one of them anymore. So in a way, this film is only connected to the first two films by the name Delambre and the teleportation device still having troubles. The problem is, with no Fly it's not really a Fly movie anymore, it's not what people are wanting to see which is The Fly.

That's not to say this is a bad film because The Fly is not in this movie, it's just not as good as the first two and does not live up to it's name and film poster. It's a deceiving film, cashing in on the success of the first two films.

5/10
