Horror auteur Cronenberg transforms the premise behind the goofy 1958 Vincent Price B-movie into a surprisingly tragic, intimate tale. Jeff Goldblum (in one of his best roles) stars as an eccentric, ambitious scientist who begins to transform into a man-fly hybrid after a teleportation experiment goes horribly wrong. What makes the movie work emotionally is the relationship between the steadily deteriorating scientist and an investigative journalist (Geena Davis), with whom he falls in love.
With his remake of The Fly, Cronenberg creates one of the most empathetic monster movies of all time; despite the unforgettable, Oscar-winning creature make-up effects by Chris Walas, it’s the heartbreakingly human love story at the movie’s core that makes The Fly so powerful.

I love this list, but you left off the remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", from the worst horror remakes list. It didn't have the hysteria factor of the original, also, it just didn't terrify me like the original film.
