However, they have not counted on the fact that all the employees who were trapped in the Hive with the virus, and thought to be dead, have been turned into the living dead and one scratch from them can cause the recipient to become like them… Cult horror director David Cronenberg found mainstream success with ‘The Fly’ (1986), an Oscar-winning remake of the 1958 horror classic.
