![]() The creepy aspect of her makeup are those epic legs, they fold backward and were executed in a skillful way, but I can imagine it gave the effects team a proper headache. The creation of Dren is very imaginative and she comes across as being this alien syren almost, comfortable in all environments, breaths underwater and has signs of flight. The GC work looks a little dank, it's the problem I have with organic things, they tend to look a bit shit when CG'd, Dren stars out a vole like creature, and morphs into a more human character, and while the interactions with this "creature" are marvelous, eye contact is on and it looks very real the creature itself doesn't. Sarah Polley has the best resting bitch face and is perfect for this crazy science momma part, from the start she's a woman who does exactly what she wants, Clive (Brody) is not just a lover but a pawn for her as she implements the experiment, he's a constant sound of sense and reason what gets blocked out as she descends into controlling madness. It turns into a moralistic drama after the sci fi bits that only really happen in the beginning, they have to move baby Dren (whose name is Nerd spelt backwards) from the high tech lab and into the family's old barn situated in the middle of nowhere and things become more Mommie Dearest (1981). It's an interesting plot and one which you'd expect a lot of icky bodily fluids, an extremely bizarre creature with even MORE messy scenes, but really it slides from science into a what not to do style parenting class. Elsa welcomes Dren into the world and mothers her through her rapid growth and imminent decline, but the faster she evolves, the more her creators start to realise that they may have made a catastrophic mistake. Two amazing biology hipsters Clive (Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) manage to splice lifeforms together to not only make new creatures who synthesize shit that some coporation want, but in secret they want to take things a step further but end up taking things a step too far and create Dren (Delphine Chaneac) a hybrid between a host of creatures with the addition of human DNA. you know there is so much I don't like about the movie but it's sadly quite watchable. ![]() It was really weird watching this after so long, but Splice came on TV around the time I was getting dinner ready and so I had to stay and watch it all the way through.
