Splice Review
Splice is the tale of a mutant creation, the crowning achievement of a pair of romantically linked biochemists (Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley) who clone hybrids of animals with human DNA. The result of their tireless efforts is Dren, a goggle-eyed being who grows to look and act more human over time.
Vincenzo Natali‘s Splice puts the Frankenstein myth into modern terms; why stitch together parts when you can genetically create a whole? A whole what? That’s the question this creepy-sexy horror movie wraps your head around.
Clive (Oscar winner Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) are laid-back biochemists and lovers, cloning two lumpy slugs that secrete enzymes to bolster livestock feed. Hey, it’s a living. The job also gives Elsa a chance to experiment with human DNA in the creatures’ genes, perhaps inventing a cure for cancer…read more [TampaBay]
Natali manages to elegantly weave nearly every aspect of sci-fi, horror, and psychological drama into his latest masterpiece. It’s not just a monster movie, but also one of the best-acted films of this genre I have seen in years and with no cheeky one-liners or grand-standing. Splice boldly explores the God-complex, psychosexual taboos, cruelty, and tenderness in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways. It goes from monster movie to family film when they begin to raise Dren to a horror movie with a twist you never see coming. I didn’t expect it, but there was some very adult material in the film too. Splice cuts into you, leaving a mark- not just because it’s a great flick, but because of its eerie plausibility…read more [Player Affinity]
Two New Splice Posters
Below we have two new posters for the upcoming psychological Sci Fi thriller Splice. The posters features Dren (Delphine Chaneac), the creature developed from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera. She’s more like beauty and the beast, and she has sign danger written all over herself.
In the film, Clive (Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) are superstars of the genetic engineering world. They specialize in splicing together DNA from different animals to create fantastical new hybrids. The charismatic couple wants to use human DNA in a new hybrid – something that could yield astronomical medical benefits. The pharmaceutical company that funds their research, however, is more interested in exploiting their earlier triumphs for easier, short-term profit. Clive and Elsa secretly conduct their own experiment. The result is Dren: an amazing creature who exhibits an array of unexpected developments, both physical and intellectual. Dren exceeds their wildest dreams… and, ultimately, their most terrifying nightmare.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released a new teaser poster for the upcoming sci-fi thriller Splice, starring Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley.
Clive and Elsa are young, brilliant and ambitious. The new animal species they engineered have made them rebel superstars of the scientific world. In secret, they introduce human DNA into the experiment. The result is something that is greater than the sum of its parts: a female animal-human hybrid that may be a step up on the evolutionary ladder. They think they may have created the perfect organism, until she makes a final shocking metamorphosis that could destroy them … and the rest of humanity.

Warner Brothers Releasing Splice on June 4, 2010
Premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Splice, ended up selling to Joel Silver’s Dark Castle label distributed by Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. has already set a June 4, 2010 release date.
This psychological Sci Fi thriller is really twisted and awesome as we know that two young rebellious scientists try to splice together human and animal DNA to create a new organism.
With the modest budget for the film which looks like a Hollywood produced film this is a huge bet by Dark Castle to turn Splice into a Paranormal Activity-like success.
