    Oh my goodness this is so The Fly (the original 1950's one!) You know in the end when the scientist now turned into a fly is screeching "help meeeeeeeeee" as it's trapped in a spider's web and the main woman and man can't hear him!!

    Take care

    OMG. Was the fly really Jeff Goldblum come to tell him he'd just discovered the answer to life itself?!

    Loved it.
