Our month of 3s has ended, so we’re kicking off February with a discussion of Vincenzo Natali’s supremely messed up sci-fi horror film (and secret Dark Castle film) Splice, which also acts as an early celebration of Joe’s birthday! Joining us for the chat is Prince Jackson, host of our sister podcast Knight Light!īefore we get to it, just a heads up if you’ve never seen the film: we’re issuing content warnings for rape, animal death, incest and (depending on how you view Dren) pedophilia and/or bestiality.

At first, Dren exceeds their wildest dreams, but as she begins to grow at an accelerated rate, she threatens to become their worst nightmare.īe sure to subscribe to the podcast to get a new episode every Wednesday. The result is Dren ( Delphine Chanéac), a creature with amazing intelligence and physi cal attributes. When they propose the use of human DNA, their pharmaceutical company bosses forbid it, forcing them to conduct experiments in secret. ![]() In the film, geneticists Clive ( Adrien Brody) and Elsa ( Sarah Polley) specialize in creating hybrids of species. ![]() That film would be Vincenzo Natali‘s absolutely wild sci-fi horror film Splice. Splice left plenty of room for a sequel, but so far, there's no sign of future endeavors.We spent all of January doing 3s like Scream 3, Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, Psycho III and Alien 3, but now we’re moving on to February and we’re kicking it off with something undeniably weird and controversial. Though Dren is killed at the end of the film, it's revealed that Elsa's rape resulted in pregnancy. The humanoid aspects of Dren make her even more terrifying - and vicious - because the human side of her could very well propel Splice's bizarre ending sequences that include Dren abruptly changing her own gender, then sexually assaulting Elsa. Her legs are bowed, her body lean, but her face and upper torso very much resemble a human female, which is bolstered by the fact that Dren is played by an actress (Chanéac), and isn't fully CGI. Dren also has a long tail with a barbed end, like a venomous stinger. As she develops and goes through puberty, Dren simultaneously exhibits signs of human adolescence, including a sexual attraction to her own creator, Clive.Īs far as appetite, Dren's carnivorous nature is immediate foreshadowing that she might become dangerous, and she later develops wings that are similar to a bat. It is at this point where she starts to show signs of other species' traits - they learn Dren is, at least in part, amphibious, as drowning doesn't kill her. One sequence has him attempting to drown Dren in water, though his intentions are dubious. Yet, during various stages, both scientists seem to have regrets, particularly Clive. Clive and Elsa have known failure with their experiments before, yet still become attached to the highly intelligent, curious Dren who seems more humanoid than animal as she rapidly develops and ages.
