Splice


Celebrated genetic engineers Clive (Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) conduct a clandestine experiment to create an animal/human hybrid that could revolutionize modern medicine -- if it doesn't destroy humanity first. On the heels of engineering an entirely new species of animal, Clive and Elsa become the toast of the scientific community. Their experiment begins to spiral out of control, however, when the superstar scientists introduce human DNA into the equation. When Dren is born, Clive and Elsa welcome her into the world as the next leap in human evolution. Now, the faster Dren evolves, the more her creators start to realize they may have made a catastrophic mistake.

  1. Positive review
    Thomas Caldwell, Cinema Autopsy Splice is science-fiction/horror at its best, underpinning its daring moments of bodily horror and sexual anxieties with flawed characters to care about and moral issues to wrestle with. Full review External link
  2. Negative review
    Julie Rigg, MovieTime, ABC Radio National Like the mutant progeny, Splice is an unsuccessful hybrid: half moral fable, half mad scientist makes monster flick. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    Leigh Paatsch, Herald Sun (Australia) By the second half of Splice, the film has devolved into a rather silly, yet distinctly unsettling blob of horror. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Nick Dent, Sunday Mail (Australia) The dire consequences of meddling with nature haven't been explored quite so well for quite some time as in Vincenzo Natali's Splice. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    David Stratton, At the Movies (Australia) I love the character of Dren, which is nerd spelt backwards. I loved the relationship between her and her putative parents: Adrian Brody and Sarah Polley. Full review External link
