Splice


Two romantically involved scientists explore the possibilities of human gene splicing. What they end up creating is a creature both fascinating and frightening. This seemingly modern-day take on Species experiments with a surprisingly fresh set of ideas. The most unique aspect of the film is the tension that slowly grows between the two scientists as they slowly lose their ability to contain the intensely unpredictable creature. Unfortunately, the originality of the premise is dragged down by some ridiculous character arcs and predictably bland horror staples. It’s thrilling nonetheless, preferring to go under your skin as opposed to ripping it open.
