A good horror flick always does metaphoric battle with our interior demons, and Splice summons them in impressive numbers. On the surface, it’s a classic Frankenstein’s monster tale, albeit ramped up to a modern lab and outfitted with the latest in biotechnology. Yet below that, in a vast sub-layer of twisted psychology, there’s a whole lot going on. Perhaps too much – this is one of those genre films that really wants to show off some smarts, to set itself above the common beast, but that cerebral badge sometimes seems a bit ponderous and, in a realm where the visceral rules, a little counterproductive. Then again, in these summer days of brain-dead blockbusters, why complain?
