Reviews:

“Clive” (Adrien Brody) and “Elsa” (Sarah Polley) are a couple of genetic engineers charged by David Hewlett’s “Barlow” with discovering an important gene that could lead to huge advances in medical science. Using a mix of human and animal DNA that have varying degrees of success before the evolution of a creature “Dren” (Delphine Chanéac) that develops more human attributes – as well as a tail with a stinger and the ability to grow wings. As we progress through this frankly rather disturbing story, we discover that “Elsa” quite literally has skin in the game as they must both seek to protect their creation from not just their employers but from her increasingly violent and lustful tendencies. I was quite interested in the underlying premise but the execution here is really poor. I never did really get why Brody was ever successful in the first place and here there is no chemistry between him and Polley; the storyline which could have been challenging and thought-provoking instead borders on the absurdly far-fetched and the ending couldn’t really come quick enough as we really do struggle to reach any sort of a satisfactory conclusion – either from a personal or a scientific perspective. It does highlight the dangers of unfettered scientific experimentation but sadly in no more an entertaining fashion that we have seen many times before – more enjoyably – from Hammer Studios!

Brundledren!

Splice is a tricky picture to evaluate, for its ideas are superb. One could argue that it brings a new petri dish full of meddling scientists facing the consequences of their actions, while conversely it justifiably feels like a Cronenberg knock-off.

Psychological discord is in abundance, with its slants on skew-whiff parenting giving the pic a dark fascination, and as unpleasant as the male fantasy angle is, it does hold a morbid interest factor.

Yet come the final third the makers let things run away from them, the bonkers dangers of tampering with science giving way to daft schlock, even managing to be distasteful in the process – while the finale is a weak attempt at a “TBC” cliff hanger.

Lead cast members are turning in good perfs. Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley as the meddling science couple hold court well, and Delphine Chaneac as the Chimera splicer of the piece really nails all the various emotional strands required for a tricky role.

Director Vincenzo Natali has shown with Cube and Cypher he has something to offer the horror/sci-fi splinters of film, but this is a mixed bag. A film of great ideas let down by overheating the plot for shock values, while the levity inserted into the play is misguided and damaging for dramatic worth. 6/10

The Horrors of Parenting
James Whale’s 1931 adaptation of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” was one of the earliest films to chronicle man’s quest (via science and nature, and in notably strict defiance of God) to literally create life by transgressing human reproduction; granted, the result was the hideous, hulking visage of Boris Karloff, but one couldn’t help but be in awe of the sheer gumption of Victor Frankenstein and his accomplices. Roman Polanski evolved this idea (via adaptation of Ira Levin’s novel) in “Rosemary’s Baby,” which took the notion of creating something truly awful (the son of Satan) and using it as a metaphor for a woman’s self-destruction and paranoia during pregnancy. Larry Cohen’s “It’s Alive” took contemporary paranoias of a carcinogen-engulfed atmosphere and nuclear proliferation and applied it to his own murderous, bloodthirsty infant. And rounding out this prolific bunch is David Lynch’s “Eraserhead,” a hauntingly surreal horror film that not only presents parenthood with fearful uncertainty, but treats acts of sexuality and procreation with a metaphorically clinical (but never explicit) disgust.

Vincenzo Natali’s “Splice” falls somewhere within this noteworthy pantheon of mad science, moral/ethical conundrums, and icky special effects. Many have already drawn comparisons (both positive and negative) to the early, mutation-informed works of Canadian auteur David Cronenberg, but Natali is just as interested in exploring the questions under the surface as he is showing an astutely creative visual eye. For a while, the film plays like something closer to an art-house feature (especially given the presence of character actors like Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley) with intriguing ideas and a solid FX budget. There are missteps along the way, but for the most part, this is a solid little sleeper.

Clive (Brody) and Elsa (Polley) are young scientists who have made a breakthrough in artificial life: two blob-like creatures (one male, one female) with the ability to manufacture an artificial protein for the purpose of nourishing livestock. In typical, business-first fashion, their corporate overlords marvel at the notion of mass-manufacturing it, and promptly reject Elsa’s proposition of human experimentation (to cure genetic disorders). Driven by curiosity, the duo wind up creating Dren (Delphine Chaneac), a creature whose accelerated life cycle prompts the creepily maternal Elsa to keep her as part of a more personal “experiment.” “Splice” contains subtle, well-played allusions to bad childhoods, long-term psychoses, and the shifting roles of parents in the eyes of children (Clive starts off as vehemently oppositional; later, he becomes a reluctant accomplice who ultimately develops a bizarre affection for the creation), not to mention the tension between parents amid the child-rearing process; watching this trio interact supplies most of the film’s compelling, hypnotic moments. This deliberate pace and focus on character may prove off-putting to horror fans sold on the ADHD weirdness of the trailer, but those with open minds will find much to gorge themselves on.

Despite all the admirably creative spins on familiar concepts, Natali (or perhaps the producers, action aficionado Joel Silver being one) run out of fresh material by the climax, which takes chase clichés and overdone monster effects down a road that exists solely to patch up some character arcs and drum up excitement in a blandly conventional way. That being said, the first 3/4 of “Splice” is such a surprisingly effective slow burn of suspense and dread (culled from universal hopes and fears), played out by actors who know the fine line between camp and creep, that its later machinations are pretty easy to forgive.

6.5 out of 10

Refreshing and original
I did not know quite what to expect when I was invited to see this movie. And granted I’ve grown tired to the same tired old studio schlock. But wow, was I in for a surprise. First of all, it was refreshing to see all the twist and turns this picture took. I had some preconceived notions based on the trailer and I’m glad the trailer did not narrate the entire movie like most trailers do nowadays. This one takes you definitely on a very interesting ride. Considering this was done by a foreign filmmaker, maybe studios should take a good look at this film and try playing out of their usual comfort zone. As I was agasp as some of the stuff going on in the film, I couldn’t quite tell where the film wanted to go and after a while I just decided to sit back and allow it to take me whenever it was headed. It was pleased by the turnout and the ride. What a refreshing film this was. It ALMOST give us confidence that Hollywood may be open to new ideas and may actually take chances than stick to the usual remake, rehash, sequel crap. Kudos to the folks involved in making this film possible. It was very enjoyable, entertaining and kept me at the edge of my seat! Moneys well spent!!! Thanks u for this!
