The Fly

Seth Brundle portrayed by Jeff Goldblum is the role of the genius who has an eccentric attitude. He meets a science journalist named Veronica at an event held by the company that was funding his research. He takes her to his lab located in a warehouse to document his invention that can teleport objects from one place to the other. The only problem was that the telepods created by him were not able to teleport living tissues as of yet. 

Gradually they got into a relationship. Seth noticed that the machine is becoming capable of creating a synthetic version of biological material rather than the object itself. Soon he manages to perfect the telepod but a lot was going on in Veronica’s life. Seth gets drunk and enters the telepod to teleport himself without realizing that a housefly has entered the transmitter pod too and he manages to emerge from the receiving end of the pod normally.

He feels a craving for sugar, increased strength, stamina, and sexual potency that worries Veronica later on. Soon he starts acting strangely and has bristly hair growing from his back and starts having a sore face. He also becomes aggressive when Veronica expresses her concerns. He finds himself becoming an actual humanoid fly and asks Veronica to point a shotgun at his head and end his suffering.
