Review of Splice

Splice (2009)
5/10
Wasted potential.

Great visuals and designs wasted on an immensly frustrating and illogical story and mind-bogglingly idiotic characters that seem to be that idiotic simply in order for things to actually happen at all, because anyone else would've stopped in the first 10 minutes of this movie and gone "Wait, hold on, this is insane.". Not to mention that their lab would've ABSOLUTELY notice this happening and they would NOT have kept this secret for as long as they did. Come to think of it, why did one of the main characters even get to work at this lab to begin with? She's clearly friggin insane and devoid of morality or ethics. THE CEO'S ARE THE ONES THAT ARE SENSIBLE AND REASONABLE!

That aside, the highlight of the movie is cute yet repulsive and unnerving. The monster design and the acting for it is great. It really brings home how vile and immoral what these lab workers have done really is. You feel both empathy and revulsion towards the creature.
