Splice

SPLICE (2010) - June 5, 2010
An interesting film by Vinceno Natali about a couple of scientists who create a strange creature featuring human DNA mixed in with several other animals.  The film sort of veers between sci-fi, drama, horror, and thriller, but somehow it all comes together in an effective whole.  Natali's direction is above average, as are the performances.  This wasn't a perfect film, but I enjoyed it (aside from some third-act shenanigans that I don't really buy -- mostly how readily Adrian Brody would do it with the creature). ***
