![]() As you can also expect from a human/other hybrid (see: Species, V: The (Original) TV Series), Dren immediately stops maturing and growing when she hits the "hot" stage. After all, Dren is a human/other hybrid, and as you can expect from a human/other hybrid (see: Species, V: The (Original) TV Series), Dren grows and matures at an alarming rate. It's not long before Elsa is dressing up little Dren in frilly things and teaching her how to read. Clive thinks things will go badly- the experiment was never meant to be taken this far!- and wants to destroy it Elsa immediately has non-scientific maternal instincts- womenfolk can't help but feel feelings!- and insists that they do not destroy it. The DNA does its DNA thing and Dren is born of an artificial womb. Late nights tucked away in the back of the lab pay off, for eventually the couple hit pay dirt. The drug companies funding their research, however, aren't so quick to boldly go where no rock star genetic engineer has gone before.Įlsa and Clive, therefore, do what any good mad scientists would do: they conduct their experiments anyway. Eh, shoddy cinematic science, I don't get it. Though their efforts don't look like much more than piles of living goo that resemble genitalia (well, they do), they're ready to throw some human DNA into the mix- not to create some super being, necessarily, but to aid in the eradication of disease. They've created new hybrid animals by splicing together DNA from different animals. Most everyone seems to think Splice is the knees reading all the praise, I had that distinct feeling of "Well then, what movie did I see?".Ĭlive Nicoli and Elsa Kast (Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley) are a pair of rock star genetic engineers. See, before I checked out her review, I felt very much alone. less-than-stellar review of Vincenzo Natali's Splice. ![]() In particular, thank goodness for her.umm. I'm sure I'll say this plenty more times before Final Girl shuffles off to horror blog heaven (which will probably be very soon after I shuffle off to horror fan heaven) (yes, after), but thank goodness for Meg Wood. Too lame I can't lie about having the urge, though, so I'm probably still lame. I kind of wanted to resort to some sensational New York Post-style headlinery and write "Splice.no dice!" up there for the post title, but I couldn't do it.
