There were no undercover men in this picture, but it was about as good as the police procedural gets in the film noir era. Characters were well-drawn and the plot was mostly coherent, which is a bar that most of these pictures can't clear.

it's super-obvious what is happening the whole time. what the hell were the police doing just stringing this guy along because some shrink saw a rose? Waste of department resources if you ask me.

I've always avoided The Fly since I don't care for gross-out horror, but this year's Hooptober had a focus on body horror so it made sense to correct that deficiency. Still didn't care much for the grossness, but I have to it it's a great movie (unsurprising coming from Cronenberg).

If I could embed memes in reviews, this would just be an image of Xzibit saying "I heard you like flesh so we put flesh in your flesh so you could eat flesh while you flesh".

Total waste of time. There's no connection between what the sleep studiers are doing and what happens to the main character - it's just (mildly) weird shit for (mildly) weird shit's sake. For that matter, there are no characters, at least to the degree that one might have motivations, preferences, or goals. The dream sequences are 90's MTV-level. There's supposedly a tie-in to sleep paralysis but I couldn't possibly guess what it is.

Watched as part of Nightstream 2020 virtual festival.
