This follow up to 1959's "The Return of the Fly" seems barely related to the first two movies of the series. There's no new fly-related action in it at all and there's no Vincent Price. But there is the Delambre family and this time they're busy teleporting back and forth between Quebec and London to stay one step ahead of the authorities.

There are some cool directorial touches. The scene that plays during the opening credits is in slow motion and it's again in glorious black and white. It features Carole Gray escaping from a mental institution in nothing but a bra and panties. The laboratory set and transporters are classic Sci-Fi inventions. There's also an amazing shot when Martin enters a "cage" to find a deformed man leaping toward him. The look of this shot is really freaky, the man is filmed with some sort of negative effect that makes him look almost other dimensional. Also shocking is the transportation of two men, one after the other, but before each of them reaches the destination transporter. The result of the reintegration is actually fairly gory.

The ending seems a bit rushed but it's not the typical happy Hollywood ending normally encountered in movies from this time period. "The Curse of the Fly" is a pretty entertaining and stylish finish to the overall satisfying "Fly" trilogy.
