Superstar genetic engineers Clive (the always reliable Adrien
Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) specialise in splicing together DNA from
different animals to create incredible new hybrids. Now they want to
use human DNA in a hybrid that could revolutionise science and
medicine.
However, when the pharmaceutical company that
funds their research forbids it, Clive and Elsa secretly conduct their
own experiments. The result is Dren, an amazing, strangely beautiful
creature that exhibits uncommon intelligence and an array of unexpected
physical developments.
Though, at first, Dren exceeds
their wildest dreams, she begins to grow and learn at an accelerated
rate - and threatens to become their worst nightmare.
Look, this looks quite dodgy - a mixuture between Alien and Species - but Brody is usually pretty solid with his flick choices, so it might be worth giving this one a chance once it hits cinemas.
