A little known horror movie that's over a decade old already has been dominating on Netflix today, with lots of people checking it out.
A scientific couple, Elsa (Sarah Polley) and Clive (Adrien Brody), are at the forefront of genetic experimentation in an attempt to cure common diseases.
Their creations are proving successful but when Elsa decides to include human DNA her boundary pushing results in a new breed of creature aptly named DREN.
DREN develops at an alarming rate and soon outgrows her creators forcing them to remove themselves from their laboratory and moving her to a secluded cabin where she reveals her true nature.
ScotsMan : IN KEEPING with its genetic engineering backdrop, Splice is an entertainingly loopy sci-fi horror film that fuses disparate ideas together to form a strange hybrid that doesn't always behave the way genre convention dictates.
