One of the few movies to f*ck my mind with such menacing authority is CUBE. It was so gritty, so esoteric, and so painful that I had absolutely no choice but to love it. So with that said, I’m excited to hear the news of CUBE director, Vincenzo Natali, heading back into the horror genre with a film titled SPLICE. Natali also wrote the script for SPLICE which begins production very soon.
The film follows the characters 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. They name the creature Dren, who 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.
Sound twisted enough?
