Synopsis
From the director of Cube and the genius mind of producer Guillermo Del Toro comes SPLICE.
Clive Nicoli (Adrien Brody) and Elsa Kast (Sarah Polleyare) are young, brilliant and ambitious. The new animal species they engineered have made them rebel superstars of the scientific world.
In secret, they introduce human DNA into the experiment. The result is something that is greater than the sum of its parts: a female animal-human hybrid that may be a step up on the evolutionary ladder.
They believe they're on the brink of a scientific breakthrough with their creation of the perfect organism, until she reaches the final stage of her metamorphosis, which unleashes a deadly creature that could destroy mankind.
Directed by Vincenzo Natali (CYPHER).
