Review Summary
THE FLY II is a movie directed, in 1989, by Chris Walas, the man who created the special effects of David Cronenberg's THE FLY.

Martin Brundle, the son of THE FLY's hero, is educated in the Bartok Inc. building. Everybody waits for his mutant chromosomes to come out of their dormant state. Martin, in the company of Beth Logan, is working on his father's studies about living beings's teleportation. But soon, like his father before him, he begins to turn into a giant fly.

A very weak sequel.

Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
