SPLICE

title: SPLICE

year: 2010

year: Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, Delphine Chaneac, David Hewlett

rating: **1/2

The names of the two scientists, "Clive" (for "Frankenstein" actor Colin Clive) and "Elsa" (ala Elsa Lanchester, "The Bride of Frankenstein") is a nod to laboratory-set horror films and a prediction of what's to come. Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley create their own "monster" using animal, reptile and human DNA, thus resulting in a female creature resembling a Jurassic Park dilophosaurus till becoming a gorgeous winged teen bent on rebellion. It's involving till the last half hour when the couple move their untamed beast to a rural farmhouse, where there's not enough stuff to do, or people to kill.
