As the movie evolves, so does she and to that point at which you completely forget that she ever resembled something even the slightest bit adorable. And that’s only the beginning of her long list of discomforting features. On top of that, she can’t speak and is only capable of making blood-curdling screeches. It’s one thing to see a completely new species like Fred and Ginger’s, but the fact that Dren somewhat resembles a human being is what makes her so distressing. Even in her baby-like stage, she’s difficult to look at. At first, Fred and Ginger are just giant blobs that make a cooing noise, but eventually they shed their cuteness and get violent I’m talking Michael Myers violent. The non-human stars are even more disconcerting. Without spoiling what the unthinkable is, just prepare yourself to be shocked, disgusted and everything in between. By the end both are guilty of committing the unthinkable. It’s unnerving enough to see Elsa’s motherly instincts kick in as she raises this abnormal being, but the fact that the more sensible outlook is present in Clive, increases the oddness of Elsa’s behavior exponentially. At the onset they’re a loving couple with similar hopes and dreams, but the second Dren is thrown into the equation their opinions deviate drastically. Clive and Elsa go through a major transformation. It’s one thing to evaluate the issue from afar, but narrowing it down to a particular instance and specific people makes it feel real and when it feels real, it’s truly freaky. This isn’t exactly a cloning case, but human DNA is in the equation, giving rise to some serious ethical questions. First off, from the civilized standpoint, human cloning is a major no no. Splice can be divided into two sections of sick and twisted. She absorbs everything happening around her, continues to mature physically and ultimately grows out of their control. The thing is, Dren is much smarter than originally anticipated.

Dren ages at an accelerated rate and Elsa is there to teach her along the way, just as a normal mother would educate her growing child, with toys and games. Looks aside, Dren is Elsa’s baby and she starts to treat her like one. At first she resembles some sort of naked mole rat, but ultimately matures into something more human-like, save for a set of velociraptor legs. However, the company’s plan only concerns the immediate benefits, not long term potential and their hopes to expand are extinguished – or so the company thinks.Ĭlive and Elsa go ahead with their research anyway, Clive more reluctantly than Elsa, and Dren is born. This is great and all, but Clive and Elsa are thinking even bigger they want to throw some human DNA into the mix and really spice things up and take their experimentation way beyond this magic protein. The pharmaceutical company backing this whole venture is after a breakthrough protein with the power to cure genetic diseases. The duo creates Fred to complement Ginger, a female version of the same organism. Splice begins from the perspective of their latest creation, Fred. It’s natural to want to dismiss a concept suggesting the devastating results of a seemingly possible experiment, but by permitting yourself to absorb it, you’ll open yourself up to a potentially stirring and thoughtful experience.Ĭlive and Elsa (Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley) are a team of top-notch genetic engineers who focus on splicing the DNA of different animals to create hybrid creatures. But what happens when you take an absurd concept and infuse it with even the slightest degree of pragmatism? Splice happens. They’re utterly absurd and therefore can simply be labeled as pure entertainment. Moviegoers eat up films about people with superpowers, time travelers and aliens.
