Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism.

Reviews

bramstayer Ok i LOVE a good scientist going all Frankenstein but this is did it to the 10th power.& yet well enough that even though I felt growing dread i couldnt stop watching, it crosses some serious boundaries though! And i dont mean just moral but VISUAL..... Im...more sheltered than i thought! Also there is one scene which precedes Sarah Polley tearing out of the barn after seeing her partner w their creation that was soooooo beyond i couldnt stop laughing for a good 3 minutes, had to pause. LOL OMG By the way does the metoo movement cover illegally engineered human/ plallac blob hybrids?? Maybe it should? Fred & ginger made me think wow the walking deads Nicotero did THIS!?? THEY look like veining phallus -like blobs whose holes open to release long feathery tougues! But thats not the main star, just a primer if you CAN get past that bit,what happens during the hubris these two have that allow a sad thing to occur and then make it terrifying & cruel. It was a shock for me. But some may be pleased with effects. These are good actors the dialog was a bit lame but then again, who does this? Filmakers. Enjoy at your risk. I didnt hate it but the ending was a shock as to remind us we never learn from our mistakes.

Kirpianuscus its great virtue - to explore ancient basic fears of each of us. the theme of Dr. Frankenstein has a great illustration. and the strange beauty of story and images are the basic gift of a film . the fascination to the result of an experiment who could change everything is axis of one of the great problems of present.result - a special film. for the effort of Adrien Brody and for a story who mix the thriller and old Sci.- Fi. themes in decent manner. short, one of memorable films for the emotions and for the use of Gothic themes . and for the brilliant making of a modern fairy tale, creepy, seductive, mysterious. the sins - the use of sexuality as a ingredient too spicy, the mix of different subject, the strange metamorphose of Dren looking the right form, the tension who has as result an ambiguous and not real credible violence. short- a warning. useful. but not coherent in many scenes.

Wolfbrother1983 (Note: I'm feeling lazy and its 3 AM so I'm just gonna repost my thoughts from the message board.) This film is, well it's a sci-fi psychological/body horror drama film with heavy ("beating you over the head with it" some of the more critical might say) Freudian overtones and a "playing God" storyline. But it feels like a Cronenberg film to me in subject matter.Sarah Polley is very good in it. (I wish she'd act in more films) and Adrian Brody also puts in a good performance.The CGI is quite good. By mainstream cinema standards, it's a very weird film. For that reason I wouldn't recommend the film to just Joe Six Pack down the block. It's also best watched alone...because a few scenes would just be really awkward to watch with other people.

Johan Dondokambey The story offers quite a promising premise, despite it's not the first time. Unfortunately the plot becomes a little bit predictable once Elsa decides against Clive in killing the baby Dren. It goes on normally for an already predicted plot but then the plot gives away big time when Fred and Ginger show their claws and start fighting. The predictability is also done by the trailer that was giving out too much detail. That makes the only decently nice twist in the movie to be when Dren suddenly grows wings. The character developments are very imbalanced and quite unclear. Clive's character doesn't really get developed right. How can he turn from one that wanted to kill the experiment to someone that would make out with it? Also the number of characters is too small for this kind of movie to work. It should at least have two more characters to give the story more color. The acting is a standard job in overall. Adrien Brody gets quite confused in expressions when acting out the various emotions in different scenes. Sarah Polley did quite okay on the expressions, but her dialog has emotions missing here and there.
