Splice

Critics thought it was interesting, but the average person understandably doesn’t like when people bang their test tube stepdaughters. I have to agree. What are you gonna do?

Splice (2009) Playing of God (11,693 – 09 Apr 2011 / 01 Feb 2017 / 15 May 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) Clive Nicoli (Adrien Brody) and Elsa Kast (Sarah Polley) are scientists of the Newstead Pharmaceutics researching the splice of DNA from different animals to form new genetic beings and find medical benefits to mankind. They have just created the hybrid Ginger and Fred and now they intend to join human DNA to alter the genetic structure of their experiment. When the senior management calls off their experiment, they decide to secretly proceed, and they generate a life form with human characteristics. They call it Dren (Delphine Chaneac) and Elsa is very fond of their creation that grows up fast, showing intelligence. When the company shutdown their experiment, they bring Dren to Elsa's abandoned farm and the scientists raise Dren like a daughter. But when it reaches adulthood, the sex drive of Dren is activated, and Clive and Elsa learn that they have a serious problem to resolve. "Splice" is a dramatic sci-fi horror film with the story of two young unethical scientists that decide to play God. The plot is unoriginal but is attractive and engaging, especially because the trio formed by Sarah Polley, Adrian Brody and Delphine Chanéac. The childhood trauma of Elsa is absolutely out of the context and a diversion to the mainstream. The special effects and make-up are awesome, transforming the gorgeous French actress Delphine Chanéac in a creature with an exotic beauty. My vote is seven.

Now this the very definition of a devisive cult movie. Is it disturbing? Yes. Is it weird? Absolutely. Is it to my taste a great movie that takes risks but is superbly well made? Yes. This extremely well acted, challenging sci-fi horror explores some very interesting philosophical and moral ground whilst simulaneously being hugely entertaining with superb special effects. It certainly won't appeal to everyone given the subject matter, especially as the movie progresses into its final phase but personally I really enjoyed my time with this one.

It’s a phobe but it’s like it was made for Amin. There’s clone sex that is almost a fucked her to death situation with incest undertones.

Kinky as hell anyways

It's pretty disturbing, but in a way that forces you to think about the ethics of certain practices that may not be too far from reality. And then it just becomes really disturbing.

I was pleasantly surprised. Weird, messed up but well worth a watch.

Super weird and different.

Once hallmark of poor writing is when any character can speak any line. In Splice the husband and wife team take turns being concerned, ambitious, loving their creation.

It's interesting and thought provoking but there are too many plot concerns where these supposedly brilliant scientists should have been able to anticipate the dangers that come to fruition. Better writers could have made this a classic.
