Splice Clip Showcases Genetics Gone Awry
I really can’t wait for Vincenzo Natali’s film Splice, starring Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, Delphine Chaneac, David Hewlett, and Brandon McGibbon. The film is also produced by creature genious Guillermo del Toro.
No news yet on U.S. Disribution as the Movie Studio has experienced some financial problems. I hope this film comes out sooner rather than later!
Plot Synopsis:
Splice tells the tale of Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists who defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named Dren, the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators – only to have that bond turn deadly.

Movie Review: The Children
The Children
Rating: 
Directed By: Tom Shankland
Starring: Eva Birthistle, Stephen Campbell Moore, Jeremy Sheffield, Rachel Shelley, Hannah Tointon
Plot Synopsis:
You brought them into the world. They will take you out. A family anticipates a Christmas filled with sledding, laughter and hot cocoa as they head to their vacation home in the secluded backcountry…The holiday cheer takes a fast turn for the worse after a mysterious flu-like virus sweeps through the kids. One by one the children become deadly. Amidst the suspicion, mayhem and murder, the parents fight for survival against their own twisted offspring. (Ghosthouse Underground)
Review:
When I first heard of the british horror flick, The Children, I wasn’t too fond of seeing it. As a parent, the thought of killer kids wasn’t something I wanted to subject myself to. However, I eventually decided to “nut up” and take a peek at this film, and I’m so glad I did. Tom Shankland lands himself on the horror map with the near-perfect and truly scary “killer kid” flick, The Children.
