Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This Cronenbergian exploration of the perils of inter-species gene-splicing wrestles with some topical and disturbing ideas, but never quite pins them down.

[It's] witty, aware of its own craziness, and disarmingly insightful about the psychology of its characters.

A good horror flick always does metaphoric battle with our interior demons, and Splice summons them in impressive numbers.

Daring, disturbing and deliciously twisted.

What makes Splice morally compelling isn't the bioethics quandaries it raises so much as the way it delves into parenthood.
