My vague Review of 'Splice'


I just saw Splice and it renewed my love for sci-fi/horror films.

This was incredibly smart, well-written and surprising at every turn. I wasn't let down at all.

Here my vague review of this great movie.
  • The casting is perfect.
  • The story gives you a truthful look at science and the people behind it.
  • Sarah Polley (Elsa) did a great job in this role.
  • Once they created Dren, it was interesting to watch the parenting skills of the 2 main characters.
  • The new being is name Dren, which means Nerd backwards.
  • The issue of morals was challenged in the film. It give an interesting view on what's right and wrong.
  • The story never spins out of control, it is focused, complete and strong in its storytelling.
  • Adrian Brody (Clive) was also great, his character was fascinating to watch.
  • This was a thinking person movie and I was so grateful for that.
  • Elsa's past tied into the story without some lengthy and crazy background mess.
  • You see Dren grow up in an odd and sad way. She sees life in a matter of days.
  • Dren's abilities are amazing, you see everything she's 'made' from in such fierce ways.
  • The barn scenes are the best parts of the movie. There's so much that goes down in those scenes.
  • Adrian Brody is hot.
As I said earlier, this is a smart person's movie. No cheap thrills, no overly hot people trying to act and no overt cliches. This is a solid story.

So if you can, see this movie!!
