THE FLY & MOTHRA
June 18, 2015  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

TCM is promoting tonight’s six-movie lineup as its one-night exercise in “Bugging Out” – presenting sci-fi movies featuring killer insects. The night begins with the original 1958 version of The Fly (“Help meeeee! Help meeee!”), followed at 9:45 p.m. ET by 1961’s original Mothra, one of the first Japanese horror films I ever saw, about a giant moth and – for some reason – some high-pitched girls (pictured) who, well, just watch. There’s no easy way to explain any of this.
