Years after his father's experiments with matter transportation resulted in terror striking his family, Philippe Delambre decides he wishes to continue his father's work and break new ground in science. Unable to get financial help from his uncle François, Phillipe turns to a shady friend for assistance, a decision that will send Philippe and those around him into utter terror!.
Much like the disastrous creatures that are born out of the family Delambre's experiments, this sequel to the 1958 adaptation of George Langelan's short story is an abomination that not only was a cash cow rush job, it's also a stain on the first pictures' greatness. Unintentionally funny and wasting the obvious talents of Vincent Price (who looks bemused by what's going on most of the time), it's a picture that really has no redeeming features, technically it's poor (the superimposed head of pretty face actor for hire, Brett Halsey, on the fly is cringe worthy) and it lacks any moments of unease to speak of. A quite disturbing sequence involving a mouse/guinea pig scores well in the sicko stakes, but by the time the "Papier Mache" headed fly goes for some emotional weight, well we no longer care what happens to it or those around it.
Some times cheese can be fun and entertaining, but bad cheese tends to stink up the place very quickly indeed, Return Of The Fly is the Stilton of stupidly bad sequel movies. 2/10
