The aughts: what a time to be alive and making weird horror films. This week’s entry “Splice” fits that bill, and is also a cool exercise in style (both the filmmaking itself and Adrien Brody and Sara Polley’s wardrobe)! This slick attempt at the “get your science on before science gets you” sub-genre, otherwise known as “should we or shouldn’t we do the super unethical experiment” sub-genre of horror, had its upsides with the design and some set pieces, but the guys were “spliced” on their enjoyment of this one with a “rent” from Ryan and a “stream” from Tim.
