Mixed reviews of Splice

Here are a couple of quotes from some more or less favourable reviews, as the ones you’ll find below:

Mr. Natali, whose earlier films include “Cube,” hasn’t reinvented the horror genre. But with Splice he has done the next best thing with an intelligent movie that, in between its small boos and an occasional hair-raising jolt, explores chewy issues like bioethics, abortion, corporate-sponsored science, commitment problems between lovers and even Freudian-worthy family dynamics. –The New York Times

The movie is ridiculously over the top, inelegant and so defiantly ?crazy?that it works, reminding you how fun gore and creatures that go bump ?(and? grind) in the night can be. It’s a sci-fi horror film, but no actual ?comedy?has made me laugh as much this year as Splice.? –Time

The yuck factor spins off the charts in Splice, a thoroughly repulsive science fiction-horror flick that slicks up its B-movie tawdriness with high-gloss production values and two otherwise classy stars. –Washington Post

an audience will laugh, instead of scream, or roll their eyes, rather than shut them. “Splice” is an unholy mess because it fuses together the worst parts of every bad medical-monster thriller, and then boldly cranks up the ridiculous. “-New York Daily News
Two genetic engineers conducting unauthorized experiments create an animal/human hybrid.

Starring: Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, and Delphine Chaneac
