"I've often wondered what Mary Shelley's Frankenstein would have been like if it had been rewritten by Charles Darwin and turned into a movie by David Cronenberg. Now I do not have to wonder! It would probably be a lot like Splice, a delightfully twisted horror thriller from Vincenzo Natali, director of 1997's sci-fi nightmare Cube."

Synopsis:
Two young scientists (Brody and Polley) achieve fame by splicing human DNA with the DNA of different animals to create a new creature. In the process they ignore their society's ethical and legal boundaries. The scientists name their creature "Dren", which is initially a deformed female infant. However, it rapidly develops into a beautiful but deadly winged human-chimera.

I think this movie will give rise to interesting ethical debates regarding human cloning.
