JackFetch Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 In the film, Clive and Elsa are superstars of the genetic engineering world. They specialize in splicing together DNA from different animals to create fantastical new hybrids. The charismatic couple wants to use human DNA in a new hybrid – something that could yield astronomical medical benefits. The pharmaceutical company that funds their research, however, is more interested in exploiting their earlier triumphs for easier, short-term profit. Clive and Elsa secretly conduct their own experiment. The result is Dren: an amazing creature who exhibits an array of unexpected developments, both physical and intellectual. Dren exceeds their wildest dreams... and, ultimately, their most terrifying nightmare. Yay for creepy butthead babies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 By the director of Cube. It looks awesome, the baby grows to look very different. Very different. Great cast, creepy premise. I'm stoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I've seen the trailer twice now, and it looks bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 All I know of this is that Angry Joe, from TGWTG, said that the new Freddy Krueger looks like a cross between a Na'vi from Avatar and this Dren creature. I won't watch it on the grounds that I don't go and watch horror films in the cinema, but it could be good. That said, Jack's comment makes me think of Cool Runnings, where Saka threatens to draw a line on Yul's bald head to make it look like a butt! Damn, I love that movie!

SuaveStar Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Trailer Incase that link doesn't work, I found a youtube one. And another scene I want the four minutes of my life I spent watching that back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadzilla Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I loved Cube and am incredibly stoked about this. According to one review that I scanned the advertising campaign for the film is rather misleading, as it is far more perverse than the typical "gotcha" monster flick the trailer makes it appear to be.

JackFetch Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'm going to be honest. I never heard of it until I saw that poster and laughed at it. It has that Saw look to me. Not storywise, but the actual look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 That looks fucking great as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadzilla Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I heard about it back in January, when it evidently made a "big splash" at Sundance, and have been hoping that it would get some kind of release. Looks like it will be going rather large, what with a major studio picking the film up and giving it a prime June 4th release date. I thought that I would have to wait for the inevitable direct to DVD dump in October. Here are a few really non-specific "spoiler" free reviews that talk about what a whacked out movie it is. http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/01/31/sundance-movie-reviewvideo-blog-splice-its-messed-up/ http://www.fearnet.com/news/reviews/b18020_sundance_2010_splice_review.html http://chud.com/articles/articles/22334/1/SUNDANCE-REVIEW-SPLICE/Page1.html With all the word dancing to avoid plot spoilers and descriptions of the movie being "insanely over-the-top" it sounds more and more like Stuart Gordon, David Cronenberg, and Frank Henenlotter got together to make a movie.
