Splice

THE MOVIE CHANNEL | BOX OFFICE | MORE TRAILERS

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.
