*1/2 – Vincenzo Natali, the Canadian writer/director of the excellent “Cube” and horrible “Cypher”, shows off his more perverted side in 2010’s “Splice” by prominently featuring bestiality, incest and rape all in one movie. Thankfully, none of said sexual deviances are shown too graphically, but it is all very clearly hinted at and/or displayed in some minor to moderate detail. In what I assume is the relative near future, Adrien Brody and the girl from “Go” who gets hit by a car in that one scene are some sort of bizarre creature makers who accidentally on purpose create an odd being by combining human DNA with a number of other animals, resulting in something that looks like a cross between a human female, a kangaroo rat, a scorpion and a bat. Unsurprisingly to everyone except the two mad scientists, the creature goes on an out of control murder/rape spree after it decides that it is sick of living in a big tank of water in a musty old barn (can’t really blame it, there). I guess the main message here is “don’t mess with nature.” I disagree with that. After all these years of floods, plagues, typhoons, earthquakes and poison monkeys, we can’t jab back a little bit? Screw that. I say go ahead and make all the weird, murderous creatures you want.
