Your Favourite Horror Film from 1986

[bizarre_eye@Cult Labs]

1986 was a year for some brilliant horror films, but which one is your favourite? What makes it special to you? When did you first see it? Would you recommend it to the uninitiated?

Sometimes it's a hard decision to just pick one film (even when you're limiting it to a single year!), but my favourite film of 1986 is...

The Fly - David Cronenberg

Another masterpiece in body horror from Cronenberg, his re-telling of the classic film, The Fly ditches the cheesy b-movie persona of the original films, and replaces it with shocking visuals and terror as Jeff Goldblum's scientist undergoes his hideous and progressive transformation into 'Brundle-Fly' Although a depiction of body horror at it's extreme, The Fly still manages to tell a story of a subtle but doomed love, ultimately ending in sorrow. Well written and acted, this is one of Croneberg's finest films.
