SPLICE

Adapting the Frankenstein saga in the modern genetic copy/ paste age and giving the 'monster' an unquestionably erotic and dangerously sexy side Natalie's Splice is the monster movie fitting our era. Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley are the brilliant scientists who decide to play god only to find their creature consisting of both Eve and the Snake. Aiming not only to scare but also to raise questions about scientific morality and the limits of human curiosity, Splice is itself a new cinematic hybrid. A delightfully shivering film aware of its pulp origins, not denying the effect of well tested gimmicks, but also a horror movie for a thinking audience refusing to give up to Hollywood stereotypes.
