Splice 2009 bbfc12/25/2023 The most confusing, yet satisfactory moment in the movie is when the “lifeless” body of Dren is buried then reborn as a male. It felt like at any moment their luck would run out and a bomb would explode (which, of course, it did). The way she moves, speaks and learns is alien-like. Clive and Elsa treat her as such, but they forget that Dren is truly just a wild animal with human features. However, Dren is not a child, which what made the movie interesting. She takes on a kind of impatient, frustrated persona like a mom might with a bad child. Wasn’t Dren this creature that she loved? The tension between Elsa and Dren noticeably increases because Dren likes Clive, but also Elsa’s discipline is confusing. For instance, I found it uncomfortable and weird that Dren becomes attracted to Clive then revolution to the sex scene that follows suit. This arises when Dren grows into a “woman” and her relationship changes with Elsa and Clive on individual levels. The frustrating notion stems from Elsa and Clive’s lack of responsibility from the very get-go. Who wants to destroy that? Even despite the scientists’ inability to think beyond their impulse of creating Dren. The beginning stages show Dren as a peaceful, delicate creature that is entirely innocent in nature. At first it was somewhat easy to relate to Elsa and Clive’s relationship with Dren. Not only was the fact that their experiment got out of control predictable, the initial bonding between Clive and Elsa to Dren was as well. The act of playing God always ends badly in the fictional world. Why? There is a lesson to be learned when humans mess with nature: nature messes back. In this case, the decision of the scientists to disobey the law and morality for personal gain (becoming the first scientists to leap ahead in DNA discovery) is predictably going to go wrong. It is not a secret that the controversial discussion about scientists and their work in respect to moral issues has been brought up. The horror does not necessarily lie in the fact that Dren is a terrifying monster, but that the human scientists continue to push boundaries in every sense of the word.Īs an audience member, I could hardly withstand the moment that Elsa and Clive decide to ignore the funding corporation’s rules and splicing human DNA with animal DNA due to the fact that the action created a red flag. the intimate scene between Dren and Clive then later the raping of Elsa. I could go far as to say mindfully violated by the limit in which the filmmakers took it, i.e. First, once the film ended, I felt very odd. Personally, the genre science fiction holds littleinterest to me, but the horror of specific sequences that occur in the film were enough to hold my attention until the end. Splice Review The movie Splice is a wild, bizarre depiction of science gone awry.
