Answer at bottom!

+ This film is an exquisite masterpiece of science-fiction horror that has left me breathless and trembling in my seat.

- IThis film, like a pesky fly, was a nuisance and left a bad taste in my mouth.

Now some haikus and midjourney art…

The dream of a bug

Slow morph away from human

Threat of extinction

Insect skin bumpy

Lean, shed my flesh, human being

Buzzing like a fiend

Teleportation

Two species, cut, open wound

I’m a big bug now

One big family

Let us all come together

Four a perfect square

Most powerful fly

Superhero gone awry

The baby is mine

Mad scientist makes

A drunken rash decision

A deadly mistake

Nine Points of View

The Optimist

You can accomplish a lot with three actors and a single insect.

The Mystic

The insect brain still lies dormant and active, in each of us.

The Hyperbolist

Greatest human shedding ever!

The Dualist

Good movie, Cronenberg body horror at its best.

The Trickster

Here’s the pitch, Frankenstein is the doctor AND the monster.

The Skeptic

Who is funding all this research?

The Rationalist

Needed a sobriety test in place as a safety precaution.

The Empath

The second monkey lives right? They never showed any harm come to it.

The Overthinker

Kafka’s Metamorphosis scraped slowly along the edge of a rusty old switchblade, and maybe a metaphor for aging or something like that.
