"Reminds me of 80s-era Stuart Gordon".
To be honest, I caught 3/5 of this movie twice on cable TV a few years ago and enjoyed it back then. Only now have I been able to see this movie in its entirety. This movie reminds me of 80s-era sci-fi/horror director Stuart Gordon ( "Reanimator", "From Beyond") with its verve and intensity. The 80s were a fun era for these types of movies both on the big screen and the small, and entertaining in their diversity regardless of whether they were major studio releases or smaller, straight-to-video fare. Although "Splice" was made in the late 2000s and has cgi, it has the spirit of sci-fi/horror films of a bygone age. This is really a variation of the classic tale of what happens when scientists decide to "play God". I won't go into specifics here, except to say that this movie was and is a refreshing break from all the zombie, ghost, demon, and serial killer movies that have been done to death for more than a decade. I welcome the "one and done" movies of this type as an antidote to the often tiresome, dreadful genre types which grow increasingly worse with each sequel/prequel.
