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.
So if you can, see this movie!!
