Splice (2009)


A genetic engineers couple hope to achieve fame by successfully splicing together the DNA of different animals to create new hybrid animals for medical use.

Inventive variation on the Frankenstein theme, this time with a mad scientist couple and a both sexy and menacing creature, manages to touch several serious issues and is still entertaining.

Maltin**1/2: "Intelligently written and well acted, this begins well but becomes too much a standard horror film in the last couple of reels. Excellent effects."
