But the ending didn't ruin it, I just wished it wouldve been done differently, maybe with Dren actually dying an then the scientists having to deal with the ramifications of their actions in regards to the human-based protein. Also the film flies off the rails and becomes a typical b-grade monster movie at the end and Dren changes and becomes totally evil and unsympathetic off screen which kills the tension and left me with no one to empathize with. It didn't make sense that our two scientists wouldn't realize that she would probably just change again. She had "died" twice before this had happened and everytime she became Than scary, but the thought of how close we are technologically to create something like this is downright horrifying.Īs for what I thought of the film, I thought the first 2 1/2 were pretty great, but (Spoilers) when Dren hibernates or whatever happens to her at the end of the film, I thought the two genius scientists would have been able to figure out what was going on with her. Is in the same genre as Frankenstein.sure it may be more "psychological" and weird I get a sense that a lot of cinemagoers don't know what the Horror genre encompasses. Just because it's not "scares a minute" with scary noises and people getting killed constantly doesn't mean it's not a horror film. The themes of what it means to be human and messing with nature by the misuse of science is pure classic horror. Why is everyone insisting this isn't a horror film? It was downright eerie, disturbing and scary at times. What did you think of Vincenzo Natali's Splice? A fantastic monster movie or a stylistic mess? Yes, it gets crazy at the end with all the steamy stuff involving Dren and Adrien Brody/Sarah Polley, but it's a beautifully crafted film, an original, unique, thought-provoking well-made monster movie, one of the best of the last few years. I absolutely love that Vincenzo Natali (of Cube!) takes us on a crazy journey and down different paths that I never thought I'd never go, but that's one reason I love this movie. Spoilers ahead! To fuel the fire, I love Splice! I haven't had the chance to see it again since Sundance, but I can tell you it was one of my favorite films of that festival and one I will not soon be forgetting, especially because it's so wild. So what did you think of this crazy horror flick? Did anyone walk out in your theater? Did you see any of the big twists coming? What did you think of the creature and the story? If you've seen it, leave a comment and let us know what you thought of Splice! This is one film I'm anxious to hear the feedback on! If you haven't seen the trailer, check it out, then read Brandon's review as well. Now that you've seen it, what did you think? It didn't take too long for this sci-fi creature feature to head from the Sundance Film Festival to movie theaters nationwide, but Vincenzo Natali's Splice is now playing in theaters everywhere (see it!).
