This is the review for Splice (directed by Vincenzo Natali and starring Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, David Hewlett, Abigail Chu, Delphine Chanéac, Stephanie Baird, Brandon McGibbon). Splice is presented by Guillermo del Toro. Splice is the story of two genetic engineer scientists whose ambitious side-project creates a creature that would have anti-stem cell campaigners crowing “We told you so, God-playing heathens!” The film has the potential to reach classic status within the (admittedly underachieving) genre of sci-fi B-movies. We are introduced to Elsa (Sarah Polley) and Clive (Adrian Brody), our maverick leads. They are funded by, and also up against, The Man: corporate suits who drag them to board meetings to remind them that their research grant doesn’t come for free. The purpose of all their lab-based gene-splicing is to discover a cure-all protein that will prevent the spread of diseases in livestock. Elsa and Clive, however, have bigger ideas.

Last week, Jon put up the new trailer for Vincenzo Natali’s latest film, the genetic horror called Splice. We also got to see the movie last week and our review will be going up in the not too distant future. But to tide you over until then, here’s a brand new freaky poster (from ComingSoon.net) to publicise the movie which stars Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, Delphine Chanéac, David Hewlett, Abigail Chu and Stephanie Baird.
Synopsis: Superstar genetic engineers Clive (Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) specialize in splicing together DNA from different animals to create incredible new hybrids. Now they secretly conduct their own experiments. The result is Dren, an amazing, strangely beautiful creature that exceeds their wildest dreams, until she threatens to become their worst nightmare.
