My main issue with the movie has to be its perverse nature. The cinematography and direction are just solid, but the score can be a bit annoying. Though silly of course, it was fascinating following its every move. Her maternal instincts were well explored, but overall she is a horrible human being and the film showed so well how morally questionable some scientists can be and how stakes are much higher in their regard. As for Elsa, she is such a major bitch that it is very easy to hate her, especially as the movie goes on. Clive is so submissive that his weakness led to the entire experimentation going awry or even starting to begin with. The film portrays so well how problematic can a relationship where the woman is so clearly the dominant figure be.

These two were simply stupendously developed for a horror flick such as this one and both the performance from Adrien Brody and especially Sarah Polley were terrific. However, Clive and Elsa are nothing of the sort. Dren is highly memorable, but still not enough emotion was given to her nor did she gain any true progression as a character. The creature should have been better developed, there is no question about it. It is basically the combination of a rat, human, frog, fish and bird at the same time, and although clearly that was overly ridiculous and just too much, it did provide the movie with some unforgettable action/horror scenes and some fun, cool imagery. Yes, the changing of the sex was very memorable, but so were the creature’s wings, lungs, gills and tail. The animal experiments themselves were quite intriguing, but of course the star show here is the creature herself/himself. It was brutal, but very much grounded in reality unfortunately. The dangers of such experiments are very well emphasized, but I also hugely appreciated the film’s ending for its darkness. I wouldn’t call this film truly sophisticated, but it does explore its themes quite solidly. Naturally, this story is as old as time, but getting increasingly relevant due to current experiments in this particular area done in the real world. It follows the experiments in genetic engineering being done by a young scientific couple, who attempt to introduce human DNA into their work of splicing animal genes. It’s a crazy and sick, but highly engaging and clever genre flick.

Even so, it's a worthy ending that encourages audience discussion regarding the perils of scientific experimentation, genetic experiments, and the ethics surrounding how far is too far for innovation.Splice is a 2010 science fiction horror film directed by Vincenzo Natali and starring Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley. As it has been another decade since the movie's release, it's very unlikely at this stage that Natali will return to continue Splice, so the open-ending will have to suffice. The reason why the sequel didn't happen was likely because the director either didn't want to make another movie at all, or because he wasn't keen on any ideas that surfaced regarding a sequel enough to put his name behind it, even if he allowed the material to be passed onto another director. Because of his experience with Cube and its sequels, he seemed to put his foot down on the same logic being applicable to Splice. Natali's Cubereleased in 1997, over ten years before Splice. Simply because I want to protect that merchandise, as it were. Here’s what I will say: after Cube, which did have two sequels, of which I had no involvement whatsoever, I would not allow a second film to be made without my involvement. However, in his interview, he was cryptic in adding reasons for why he might never pursue it: According to Natali, it was ' not his intention whatsoever' to set up the ending as a sequel to Splice.
