Coming to Grips with Splice
You wanted weird, and we’ve got weird for you. This week, we’re tackling the 2010 sci-fi/horror curio Splice. A movie that has built quite the cult following in recent years, Splice was greeted with a very mild reception.
The film follows two genetic engineers on route to a scientific breakthrough with huge ramifications (both in the field and financially). When they’re forced to use their research to develop a medicine, the secretly opt to move into the next phase of their experiments, which utilize human DNA.
This wild film has plenty to sift through. We discuss Freud and the movie’s alignment with his theories. Dalton ponders the realism of science fiction. We also discuss familial tragedy, cycles of pain, and much more.
