Splice

Let me start by saying this is the best B+ movie I have ever seen. The
acting, effects and plot is there but a few key elements keep it from
breaking into a mainstream movie.

This is a Frankenstein movie, a modern day one, with the two main
characters (Adrian Brody and Sarah Polley) creating a Spliced human
and animal hybrid - at first to see if they "could" and then to see if
it can allow for some medical breakthroughs.

There are some cheesey lines that come from Brody that cause the
audience to giggle where the writer/director probably didn't expect.
There are also some questionable scenes - Brody and hybrid sex, hybrid
and Polley rape - that could have been reworked to be less hard to
watch, but that could remove some of the edge. I think it was
maintained in the film so that it could be clear to the audience that
all the "rules" were broken in creatingthis hybrid. The whole time I
was watching this movie I "knee" rules were broke and I found myself
saying "don't do it" on more than one occasion.

I liked the movie, I think it is a definite rental. I am also
confident that my dad will love this movie!
