Five films from the hugely popular sci-fi franchise. In 'The Fly'
(1958), a scientist (David Hedison) is obsessed with developing a
molecular matter transmitter. When he attempts to test the
invention himself, he is unwittingly joined by a companion - a fly
that has sneaked into the transportation pod with him. The
consequences of the experiment soon become clear, as the scientist
begins to take on fly-like characteristics. 'Return of the Fly'
(1959) sees the original scientist's son reconstructing the matter
transporter which turned his father into an insect, with the young
man's experiments leading him down the same insectoid path. In
'Curse of the Fly' (1965) the plot again revolves around the
Delambre family, although this time it is the scientist's grandson,
Henri Delambre (Brian Donlevy), who becomes obsessed with
transporter experiments to the dismay of his two sons, who want to
live normal lives and forget about their grandfather's invention.
Henri's oldest son, Martin (George Baker), marries a young woman
who just escaped from a mental hospital. After Martin's new wife
discovers a closet filled with deranged humans left over from
failed teleportation experiments, the police are called and Henri
attempts to flee using the infamous transporter. 'The Fly' (1986)
is the Oscar-winning remake of the 1958 horror classic. Scientist
Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), experimenting with transmitting
matter uses himself as a guinea-pig, unaware that a fly has got
into the machinery. As he embarks on a relationship with Veronica
Quaife (Geena Davis), the journalist covering his project, his body
slowly begins to take on fly-like characteristics. 'The Fly 2'
(1989) is the sequel to the 1986 movie. Dr Seth Brundle is no more,
but he has left behind a gruesome legacy: the teleportation device
which transformed him into a human fly, and a son, Martin (Matthew
Moore/Harley Cross). Infected with his father's insect metabolism,
Martin's growth is hugely accelerated, and he is soon a fully grown
man (Eric Stoltz). When he discovers the remains of his father's
experiment, Martin decides to pick up where Seth left off.

Box set containing all four 'Critters' titles. In 'Critters'
(1986), eight hungry aliens have escaped from a prison planet and
land near a small town in Kansas. They take over the Brown
household, eat the goldfish and then go after the human occupants.
Outer space bounty hunters arrive on Earth to subdue the critters.
'Critters 2' (1988) is set two years after the first set of
'critters' wrought havoc in a small Kansas town. Now another batch
are hatching. In 'Critters 3' (1991), the flesh-eating critters are
back, moving up in the world by way of the elevator shaft in an
apartment building. As usual they're hungry and the tenants are on
the menu. Finally, in 'Critters 4' (1991), the critters have almost
all been cleared off the planet Earth. Only two critter eggs remain
and these have been ordered to be blasted off into space by the
Intergalactic Council. But the pod carrying them is unwittingly
picked up by a space salvage crew.
