倒叙，科学家安德烈（大卫·海迪生 David Hedison饰）的美貌妻子海琳（帕特丽夏·欧文斯 Patricia Owens饰）打来电话，向安德烈的弟弟弗朗索瓦（文森特·普莱斯 Vincent Price饰）求助。她向弗朗索瓦和警探坦白，自己刚刚杀害了丈夫安德烈。案发前，安德烈痴迷研发他的时空交错机器，这个机器能够将人体分解传输到另一个地方再重组。可他万万没有想到的是：正在他埋头实验的时候，一只闯进来的丑陋苍蝇飞进了机器……　　这部由二十世纪福克斯公司于1958年推出的低成本科幻片《苍蝇》，可谓史上经典“变蝇人”的开山鼻祖。二十世纪福克斯公司相继推出1959年的《变蝇人回归》和1965年的《苍蝇的诅咒》。此后“苍蝇热”一发不可收拾，影响了八十年代的同类电影：1986年翻拍的《变蝇人》更加注重恐怖视觉的处理，荣获奥斯卡最佳化妆奖，而在1989年推出《变蝇人2》接力演绎“苍蝇热”。

爱伦坡、文森特·普莱斯、克里斯托弗李黄金组合，唯一的遗憾就是两个人对手戏太少了！伦敦发生了一起杀人事件，凶手竟然是已经死去的人？电影多线叙事节奏比较紧凑，结尾也有十分“普莱斯”的表演。电影缺点也有，除了几个穿帮镜头，主要还是VP跟Lee的对手戏太少！但喜欢两位演员的朋友必须得看这片，两个人单人戏份很足，何况能看一部是一部了。

A quick glimpse at the cast for this film would make any horror fan giddy with glee. The actual movie doesn't live up to those high expectations, but it's far from being all bad. Desi Arnaz Jr. (!) plays an author who makes a crazy $20,000 bet with his publisher that he could write a great novel in only 24 hours. To do so, the publisher gives him the keys to an old abandoned house where he won't be disturbed. Not true. Once he gets there he is interrupted by a multitude of guests including a family which consists of John Carradine, Sheila Keith, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. They are gathered there in a twisted family reunion to release their brother from the room he's been imprisoned in for forty years. Even Christopher Lee drops by as Corrigan, the man who has just purchased the house. Soon, they realize that the caged brother is loose and out for revenge.　　What a great plotline and what a dream cast! This movie should have been a hell of a lot better. It's hard to pinpoint the exact problems with the film, but I would venture to say that the lack of lighting was a major fault. Sure the house has no electricity but I think they took the title of the movie a little too literally. Scenes after scenes are barely visible and the actors' faces are undecipherable. Only the moments in the main dinning hall are well lit. Also, the great actors are given very little to do. Cushing gets a few chuckles as the scared brother but Price, Lee and especially Carradine are somewhat wasted here. Well, at least Price gets the best line of the film `Please don't interrupt me while I am soliloquizing.' And on the plus side, the story has enough twists and turns throughout to keep one`s interest and the ending, while a bit of a cop-out, manages to surprise.

Leopold Kroner, formerly of Colby Enterprises, is released after five years in prison for embezzlement. Andrew Colby, claiming that Kroner has threatened him, hires lawyer Bob Regan as a secret bodyguard. Sure enough, Kroner turns up in Colby's room with a gun, and Regan kills him. Then Regan, who sticks around to romance Colby's secretary Noel, begins to suspect he's been used.
