Two very ambitious scientist secretly created a human/animal hybrid against the wishes of the corporation that was funding their research. In fear of being discovered, they later relocated to one of the scientist's childhood farm where they developed a bond with their creation while gaining an understanding of its behavior. The creature appeared human in many physiological and psychological aspects, but this entity was certainly not entirely human, granting her some amazing gifts. A marvelous creation indeed, but this marvel had one pernicious trait the scientist overlooked.
Splice features the issue of human/animal hybrids, which is currently heavily debated. In exploring the possible benefits and disadvantages of this phenomenon, the film ultimately concludes as a cautionary tale. In part, the reality of venturing into gene mixing across species is not as cautious, relatively speaking, and a preferable moral consensus faces multiple diplomatic hurdles, as noted in this article. What may attract people to these types of films is the prospect of seeing an entity that is extra-human in some facet; and this may stem from a deep desire many of us possess to get bitten by a "radio active spider" if you know what I mean. Human/animal hybrids are no longer a subject of narratives, they are a reality, a feet attributable to genetic engineering.
A decent pace, a disturbingly lovable and sexy creature, a storyline driven by a real life issue,what more could I ask for? Well, a more defined or exciting plot would of been nice. Also, the exciting scenes were concentrated in the end, perhaps due to budgetary constraints. Although Splice was not as exciting as I wanted it to be, one major credit to the film, was that it presented the possible challenges of parenting a relatively intelligent sentient human/animal hybrid; a concern for future generations. According to metacritic, the film received generally favorable reviews, and rottentomatoes granted the film 81 fresh tomatoes to 31 rotten ones. Not bad, I'll grade it a 75.
