Splice

L: I really wanted to like this movie, but i didn't. the creature 'dren' definitely looked neat. everything else about this movie was not, which is too bad because this movie really had potential. The premise was interesting, but the movie fell flat. brody and polley, both of whom have definitely exhibited their acting talents in the past were not very engaging in this movie. I just didn't care. I felt that certain scenes were unnecessarily disgusting. This is the kind of movie where you know that something bad will happen in the end, and you are expecting that something horrible to happen to the characters in the movie, but really, the horrible thing is inflicted on you, the audience.
P: Promising, faustian premise spoiled by lame, CGI monster. Shift the focus from the monster to the perverse psychologies of its creators and this could be pretty good.
