Film Filter: Off- Splice

Splice  (2009) R
Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, Delphine Chanéac

Film Filter: On- When two of the most capable geneticists decide to tamper with the insertion of human DNA into their hybrid experiments, they inadvertently create Dren.  Having animal-like capabilities, and human like brain functions, Dren learns quickly while attracting the attention and intrigue of the two scientists.  Things start to take a turn for the worse when they realize that interacting with an experiment like a human, no matter how human it seems, has its dangers.
Things to note: Unique plot and story, good use of make-up and subtle use of effects, inconsistent emotional draw due to poor story direction, odd situations, drastically unrealistic scenarios.

Weird, unrealistic, and creepy in all the bad ways.


You'll like this movie if you enjoy:
Sci-fi thrillers involving evolution or transformation.  Similar to Gremlins, 
but more scientfic with characters making worse decisions.
