Valentine’s Day Gets Under Your Skin with Cronenberg’s THE FLY – where true love means never having to say “I’m turning into a giant insect.”This Valentine’s Day, experience love at its most transformative with David Cronenberg’s THE FLY – a haunting remix of sci-fi horror and tragic romance that proves great love stories don’t always end sweetly.
When brilliant but eccentric scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) meets ambitious journalist Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis), their intense romance seems destined for happiness. But one fateful experiment changes everything, leading to one of cinema’s most visceral and heartbreaking explorations of love, mortality, and transformation.
What makes THE FLY extraordinary isn’t just Chris Walas’s Oscar-winning practical effects (though they’re astonishing), but how Cronenberg uses body horror to craft a devastating love story. Goldblum and Davis (a real-life couple at the time) bring raw emotional truth to every scene, making us feel every moment of their doomed romance. This isn’t just about physical transformation – it’s about watching someone you love slip away, one cell at a time.
Join us for a very different kind of Valentine’s screening. Because sometimes the greatest love stories are the ones that break our hearts.
Book now – love hurts…
