Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was rarely seen for many years after its original release in 1965. As a result of this, it was the only one of the three films in the original "Fly" trilogy that never received a VHS or LaserDisc release. It did not even receive a home video premiere at all until 2007, when it was released on DVD for the first time ever, in "The Fly Collection", a 4-disc box set that contained both it and the previous two films in the trilogy, The Fly (1958) and Return of the Fly (1959), as well as a special features DVD.
- GoofsIn the film, during a conversation about the Delambre family legacy, a photograph is shown of the Fly from the film Return of the Fly (1959). It is said that the Fly in the photograph is Andre Delambre (David Hedison) from The Fly (1958), but the photograph is actually of Philippe Delambre (Brett Halsey), the son of Andre, from Return of the Fly (1959). There were no photographs taken of the Fly by anyone in either of the previous two films in the original "Fly" trilogy, so this photograph should not even exist in this one, the third and final film in it.
- Quotes
Albert Delambre: You're not God, you're not even human. You murdered those men and you made me a murderer too.
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the closing credits: "Is this the end?"
- Alternate versionsThe UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to reduce a shot of 2 previously teleported victims inside a glass cabinet in Albert Delambre's laboratory. The 2006 DVD is uncut.

Featured review
The Delambre family curse.
The Curse Of The Fly is the third instalment of the original series of films born out of the short story written by George Langelaan. Here in this one, a vast improvement on the awful Return Of The Fly, we are with the descendants of doomed Andre Delambre from the first and best original feature film. The links and time frames are rather tenuous, but the basic core of matter transportation still remains, with obviously less than great experimentation results!. Playing out more as a science fiction thriller than a outright horror picture, Curse Of The Fly has oodles of atmosphere and a genuine feel of a tragic melodrama, it also boasts the watchable talent of Brian Donlevy as Henri Delambre. It opens with a fabulous sequence and ends with a very satisfying conclusion, while the make up effects of the creepers certainly don't embarrass the film at all. For sure there is the usual cheese that comes with this up and down genre, but as low grade genre films go, this one most definitely holds up rather well. 6/10
