Overview
Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named “Dren”, the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators - only to have that bond turn deadly.

Viewing Notes
Produced by Guillermo del Toro, written and directed by Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Nothing, and the vastly underrated Cypher), Splice has been on my radar for a very long time. What got me hooked even before I know the players was the fantastic creature design of Dren, the genetic hybrid of animal and human. Visually, Splice does not disappoint. It’s a cerebral creature feature that overcomes a few missteps and is now one of my favorite genre films of 2010.
