Curse of the Fly is a 1965 British horror science-fiction film directed by Don Sharp and a sequel to Return of the Fly (1959), as the third installment in The Fly film series.[2] Unlike the other films in the series it was produced in the United Kingdom. It was written by Harry Spalding.[3][4]

Curse of the Fly was rarely seen for many years, as it was the only entry in the Fly film trilogy that did not receive a videotape, laserdisc or online release. It did not receive its home video premiere until 2007, when it was released in a boxed set with the original series of films.
