Return of the Fly (1959)


Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Edward Bernds
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Shout Factory)

The son of the scientist killed in the original movie resumes his father's experiments in the basement of a rented house. He gets help from another scientist, but they run out of money. He bullies  his uncle Vincent Price, with whom he jointly owns a successful electronics company, for more funding to resume. However, his partner turns out to be an industrial spy and murderer, who will stop at nothing to steal the secret of their machine and sell it for profit. This downbeat subplot, not to mention sub-par special effects, make this less enjoyable than the first movie.
