I was really excited to see Splice. It got rave reviews. And the claim that this is one of the scairest movies this year. Unfortuneatly, its niether original, nor is it scary. I found myself going, when is this going to be scary. Oh maybe this is it? But the scary never came. What I got was a predictable mad scientist story. Frankensteins monster lives again. And while this story will always be timeless, and will always connect with us as a society. I believe there is a way for us to spin this, and update it. And sadly, this is not that incarnation. But Dren ( the creature) is beautiful and broken. And she is the only saving grace. Seeing her tranformation is truly a thing of beauty. And I would see it again just for her heartbreaking expressions. Overall I would say the movie is alright. Don't run out and see it! Netflix it, its worth a peek.
