Review of Splice

Splice (2009)
6/10
A bizarre human-hybrid, bioethical dilemmas and special relationships. An interesting concept but could have been better.

Fiction movie. A couple of researchers at a pharmaceutical company have designed and brought to life two hybrids of a new species that produce a protein in large quantities. However, the wife wants to try to make a new hybrid based on the human genome so that the protein is more compatible with humans and is produced in larger quantities, even though both the company she works for and her husband are opposed, she proceeds. The film goes far beyond the scientific part, but shows some bioethical messages, what is good and what is bad and of course all this is seen through the special relationship that the couple develops with the new hybrid. The film is clearly watched with interest, it has a bit of a dramatic element in it, it has some erotic element and romance, and it also has thriller elements towards the end mainly. It is worth a watch, but some things could still have been excluded and on the other hand the film could become more intense and better overall.
