"Splice" is a thrilling sci-fi horror film that follows Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists who push the limits of legal and ethical science by splicing human and animal DNA together. They create a new organism named "Dren," who quickly evolves from a deformed infant into a beautiful yet dangerous winged human-chimera. Dren forms complex bonds with her creators, which eventually take a deadly turn.
