Splice.

Take good actors, splice them with good story and excellent directing and you get Splice.

Sarah Polley and Adrien Brody star as Elsa and Clive (check Bride of Frankenstein on IMDB) two scientists screwing with nature. Damn you! Well they screw with it and create Dren – a realistic and disturbingly semi-attractive half breed girl. She has a tail complete with stinger, and kangaroo type legs and later grows wings!

Polley and Brody don’t have kids, but Brody wants to, and Polley doesn’t. But then they have Dren, who is kind of their kid and we get the big parenting drama. This movie is a scifi all the way. Not horror, as advertised. Its about creation, parenting, survival, nature, they even fit in some corporation bashing – which I believe happens. Anyway this is a great film and I highly recommend seeing it and buying it. Other than that I pretty much agree with all that my fellow blogger wrote.

I like Sarah Polley and didn’t know her big views on politics. In any case, her views are not on screen here, her acting is, and its good! Brody is really great too, and he is underrated for sure. Cant wait to get this one on dvd!

4.5/5
