Parents Guide for
The Fly (1958) More at IMDbPro »

Blood is visible on a hydraulic press. A man's body is barely visible next to it. The man is released from the press and pulled out (the character's dialog suggests that the body is headless and has no left hand, although this is not shown to the audience) A body is taken away (covered) on a stretcher.

A man's head and hand are attached to a fly's body which is caught in a web. A spider is seen creeping towards the fly as the fly desperately cries "help me, help me" It is implied that the spider munching on the man's head but no blood/gore is visible. Another man throws a large rock on the spider and the fly. The impact is not shown.

A couple drink champagne. Rum is mentioned.

There is a build up of tension during a scene which the female lead pulls off a towel from her husband's head to see his face. His head is infact, the head of a very large fly (Please note: The fly head does not look in any way convincing. However, this may still shock/disturb some of the younger viewers!)

The end scene as described in the gore section could be disturbing for younger viewers.
