I’m not going to spoil what happens at the big unveiling (The Saint believes that those who like to post “spoilers” in their reviews should be left with him for 15 delicious minutes of torture to shut em’ up) but I believe it’s safe to say it doesn’t go well for either duo. But Clive & Elsa have convinced their corporate backers that they have made a breakthrough & are ready to display the creatures to interested investors… At least as beautiful as these ugly suckers can get. When they are introduced to each other, a sort of “Getting to know you” ritual takes place & it actually is quite beautiful to witness. Remember the giant maggot from the nightmare sequence in Cronenberg’s “The Fly”? Well then you have an idea of how they look.
What they have created are 2 sentient “Blobs” of protoplasm that they name “Fred” & “Ginger” (I’m not explaining that one either people)! They are both very “Cronenbergian” in their look. If I gotta explain that to you creeps then stop reading this now! Did I mention they are genetic scientists? Sorry about that… They have completed what some thought was impossible, Created life.Ī new kind of life mind you but life nevertheless. The film stars Adrian Brody (Fuck his Oscar.Dig that nose)!! & Sarah “Dawn Of The Dead” Polley as two scientists who also happen to be lovers who also happen to be named Elsa & Clive. 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.ĭirector Vincenzo Natali’s (Cube) new Sci-Fi/Horror opus “Splice” opens today & although the Saint has already seen it about a month ago (I have some dark connections people), I saved my review for today cuz’ I know you guys were waiting for it….
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.
