I saw the new Adrien Brody movie, “Splice”, the other day. I expected it to be great, and honestly, it exceeded my expectations. It was shocking, hilarious, and creepy. Definitely one of the better movies I’ve seen this year.

CUBE director Vincenzo Natali offers up another visual feast with this sci-fi thriller starring acclaimed actors Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley. SPLICE follows a pair of scientists who have found success with creating genetic hybrids of various animals. When they attempt to add human DNA to the their formula, the results are both surprising and potentially destructive.

I love sci-fi flicks, they are definitely my favorite, because they get you thinking. could this really happen? I am extremely intrigued by them. This movie was awesome. The splice that they came up with from the human DNA and the formula of the genetic hybrid of various animals was just plain awesome, yet scary, and nauseating at the same time.

The splice aged extremely quickly. One day she’s a baby, a few days later she is an adult woman… or so we think. Her head looks alienish and her body is just freaky. Three fingers and one thumb on each of her hands, bird legs, no ability to speak, just make some weird noises. She tilted her head around like a dog would do in confusion and made a weird chirp like a bird almost. She could even breathe under water which we found out when Clive (Adrien Brody) tried to drown her!  It was REALLY cool but very creepy.

More about the movie after the jump! Don’t read on if you haven’t seen the movie yet. I don’t want to ruin it for anyone.

The thing that got me so nauseated was that both characters have sex with the splice, who Elsa (Sarah Polley) named Dren (Delphine Chanéac), because it is NERD spelled backwards and Dren spelled that out in scrabble. NERD is the company that Clive and Elsa worked for.

Elsa really treated Dren like her daughter, and it was unnerving. She had a messed up family and she actually used her own DNA to create Dren. Clive realized that she was part of Elsa during an extremely uncomfortable scene for me. He teaches Dren to dance, and notices her neck and how it looks so much like Elsa’s.

Clive ended up having sex with Dren in the barn and it was crazy stuff. Her wings would come out and she’d shake like crazy. It was nuts. Elsa walked in on them, and then when they went to go back to the barn to see Dren she was sick… or so they thought. She changed genders just like Fred and Ginger, their original experiments of the animal hybrid… where Ginger changed into a male after they mated.

Dren came back as a dangerous male or whatever the hell he was. He raped Elsa and killed Clive. Elsa killed Dren… and then at the end we see that she is pregnant. With Dren’s baby… which is so creepy, considering half of Dren is Elsa’s clone. That is just wrong, but I guess it makes a great movie for the sequel right?
