Rish Outfield's reviews
Due to the success of the brilliant original, 20th Century Fox was quick to drum up a sequel. Unfortunately, they cut the budget so much that they didn't even bother to shoot Return of the Fly in colour! Nevertheless, the great Vincent Price returned, and the story wasn't all bad. Strangely, they changed the design of the fly head (so effective in the original), and it's neither as tragic nor as impressive as it once was. A typical sequel, this was not a great film, but it was one hell of a lot better than the sequel to the 1980's version of The Fly.

The tyranist's thoughts
As good as the first was, this was obviously a low-budget, "let's cash in" kind of picture. Shot in black and white where the first one was color and featuring far inferior effects to the original there just isn't much here for discerning horror fans.
So years after the original incidents of The Fly, the scientist's son decides that he is duty bound to continue his father's research. Uncle Vincent Price warns him of the dangers and refuses to help. For about two minutes. Then he caves in. Then all the bad stuff starts happening. Sort of.
Even though Vincent Price is back in this one, there just isn't much here. The plot is pretty weak and lacks the suspense and drama of the first movie. While there are more monsters, they aren't even a little scary, and the main monster is just ridiculous.
You don't have to waste your time here. Unless you are trying to see all of Price's films or just dig on bad '50s monster movies, your time is better spent elsewhere, like watching the first movie.
