Title: Splice Starring: Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, Delphine Chanéac Directed by: Vincenzo Natali Screenplay: Vincenzo Natali, Antoinette Terry Bryant Released: 29 November 2010 Duration: 104 minutes Format: Blu-ray and DVD Vincenzo Natali is the Canadian born writer/director The Cube (1997) which was a low budget (about quarter million Canadian dollars) film about a group of people trapped in a cube.

So you look at the film promo, and you think you've got the formula sussed. Mad scientist creates monster. Monster gets out of control. Rampage. Carnage. Blood, guts, special effects. Ends with monster getting killed, hint of sequel to finish. Just add curry, lager, room full of mates, and maybe a spliff or two. Night in sorted. Well, perhaps.

Clive Nicoli (Adrien Brody) and Elsa Kast (Sarah Polley) are a cohabiting couple of young genetic scientists both working ...  Read the complete review

Although I am not normally a fan of horror movies I found myself watching Splice the other day. Perhaps I was drawn to the movie as it is directed by Vincenzo Natali the man responsible for the cult classic Cube. Either that or I just have a thing for chicks with tails (Dren the rather attractive creature in this movie has one as she is a human/animal hybrid.) I guess that is what happens when you play World of Warcraft too much. You spend hours staring at a Dranei's backside and before you know it you develop some weird ass tail/hooves fetish. Erm, anyway let's move onto the plot before I scare off all the readers. The film stars Adrien Brody (Predators) and ...  Read the complete review

This is a usual film I would pick up but saw it on Lovefilm so thought give it a try. My expections were very low and the film started off really slow but once it had picked up was really good and could understand what the woman was thinking. The plot A young couple are a couple of scientists trying to invent a new species. By accident they create a species that look a cross between a mouse and a human. The couple monitor this species throughout its life by monitoring any changes and making a log. The species ages very quickly and it is not long before the species becomes a very young girl that loves sweets. The couple ...  Read the complete review
