Dren (now played by a digitally enhanced Delphine Chanéac) begins to resemble a cross between a bald supermodel and a rabbit with wings.Įven Clive has developed paternal feelings at this point, which Dren very unfortunately mistakes for an entirely different kind of love. Then they move her to a barn on Elsa’s old family farm, where Elsa starts putting Dren in dresses and makeup. The childless Elsa is so captivated by Dren’s capacity for learning that she’s willing to overlook her offspring’s increasingly homicidal tendencies - another mistake when your “daughter” has a lethal stinger in her tail.Įlsa’s boyfriend, meanwhile, tries to drown Dren after some particularly nasty misbehavior - but, wouldn’t you know it, she’s sprouted a set of gills. The couple is so preoccupied with their latest hybrid - which they hide from their colleagues - that Fred and Ginger end up giving investors a demonstration that’s unforgettable in ways that are entirely unforeseen, and quite hilarious.Ĭlive and Elsa are busy in the basement raising the rapidly growing, feral creature (Abigail Chu, with lots of help from computer-generated images) that Elsa names Dren (spell it backward). Needless to say, keeping this particular baby turns out to be a huge mistake.Ĭlive and Elsa (amusingly named for the stars of “Bride of Frankenstein”) work for a bio-med company that’s pressing them to monetize their earlier gene-splicing experiment - a pair of tongue-like creatures they’ve dubbed Fred and Ginger - before it goes belly up. Brody’s Clive, whose ethical concerns have been pushed away by his girlfriend, wants to destroy the hybrid embryo before it comes to term, as they previously agreed.īut her burgeoning maternal instincts prevail.
The fetus in question has been engineered from the genes of various animals - as well as Polley’s character, Elsa.
#Splice 2 full movie movie
Splice left plenty of room for a sequel, but so far, there's no sign of future endeavors.Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley play a superstar geneticist couple who at one point debate abortion in Vincenzo Natali’s smart, scary - and at times very funny - horror movie “Splice.” Though Dren is killed at the end of the film, it's revealed that Elsa's rape resulted in pregnancy. The humanoid aspects of Dren make her even more terrifying - and vicious - because the human side of her could very well propel Splice's bizarre ending sequences that include Dren abruptly changing her own gender, then sexually assaulting Elsa. Her legs are bowed, her body lean, but her face and upper torso very much resemble a human female, which is bolstered by the fact that Dren is played by an actress (Chanéac), and isn't fully CGI. Dren also has a long tail with a barbed end, like a venomous stinger. As she develops and goes through puberty, Dren simultaneously exhibits signs of human adolescence, including a sexual attraction to her own creator, Clive.Īs far as appetite, Dren's carnivorous nature is immediate foreshadowing that she might become dangerous, and she later develops wings that are similar to a bat. It is at this point where she starts to show signs of other species' traits - they learn Dren is, at least in part, amphibious, as drowning doesn't kill her. Watch Splice (2009) Full Movie Genetic engineers Clive Nicoli and Elsa Kast hope to achieve fame by successfully splicing together the DNA of different animals to create new hybrid animals for medical use. One sequence has him attempting to drown Dren in water, though his intentions are dubious.
Yet, during various stages, both scientists seem to have regrets, particularly Clive. Clive and Elsa have known failure with their experiments before, yet still become attached to the highly intelligent, curious Dren who seems more humanoid than animal as she rapidly develops and ages.
