Splice (2009)
4/10
some great elements but...
9 June 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I've never considered myself anywhere near prudish. but the elements of rape, incest and bestiality left me and a roomful of 200 of my closest strangers almost nauseated.

overall, a watchable and entertaining effort. good character development. good casting as well as predictably good performances from proved lead actors. and mostly good writing aside from the juvenile and heavy handed "im inside you" bit...

the whole film could have been far stronger with a bit more attention to visual style and much less attention to graphic sexuality.

we took our teenage daughter, expecting another fun, scary, creature-feature. NOT soft core fetish porn.

decent movie

OK, if you're looking for a classic eddie murphy movie - this ain't it! but that doesn't stop it from being reasonably enjoyable. its not for the person looking for a deeply engaging experience. but if you're looking for a reasonably entertaining, family-friendly movie, this is a safe bet.

has a kind of a nickelodeon kind of feel, but its well shot, nice effects (not too over the top), and has great art direction.

if you are looking for something scary, or thought provoking - move on. if you want an innocuous, diversion... id recommend it!

a solid 5 out of 10
