Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley help splice imdb "Splice" above the standard horror fare. Is Dren male? Like Dren, it's a little bit mixed up.

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. View More. Splice is a tricky picture to evaluate, for its ideas are superb.

Simona Maicanescu Joan Chorot. It was pleased by the turnout and the ride. As a film, it also is a splice among several genres. It's also equipped with two pairs of lungs to survive in open air as well as under water. Brody and Polley are excellent as always. There are some very tense moments and a few bloody ones but it is far from horror, unless you consider our own inner madness something terrifying well, we really should. The scene where the two pretty much break the law to create this thing was handled as if we were watching a couple high school kids trying to steal some of their dad's beer out of the fridge. They both seem to be having a good time in this one. In a similarly pessimistic light, it is Elsa's "desire for control" which directly fuels Dren's violence, and so results in Elsa losing all control. E Digital Pictures Jay Stanners Dren as Delphine Chaneac. If you want to see a film about mad scientists and scary creatures, you should not miss "Splice. Playing of God. At the root of these impulses, though, is a desire to return to the womb; to be inside, and so a drive and desire to negate its own existence Dren's favourite word, "tedious", is an anagram for "outside".

Well-timed to open soon after genome pioneer Craig Venter's announcement of a self-replicating cell, here's a halfway serious science-fiction movie about two researchers who slip some human DNA into a cloning experiment, and end up with a unexpected outcome or a child or a monster, take your pick.

Digital Pictures Paul McLennan It seemed like a subtler reenactment of the scene from Spike Jonze's 'Adaptation' where the plot starts to unravel with a nod and a wink. The story totally collapsed here and it would have served the movie so much better had they decided to do something else. There is an honest enough portrayal of a quasi-human being. The creature is something so realistic and present all over the movie, that the creators of "Prince of Persia " and "Clash of the Titans" should take note. Dren is both male and female, but neither male nor female. But eventually it grows out to be a jumping mouse with a lizard tail and a sharp sting. Top credits Director Vincenzo Natali. The novel then ends with both man and monster alone and resentful. I like that the film doesn't pull punches and I like that there are consequences for the actions of the scientists.
