10 Disturbing Movie Moments That Came Out Of NOWHERE
10. Sex Scenes: Splice
Splice is a movie that makes little sense.
Its premise is intriguing for sci-fi and horror fans alike: a young couple of scientists experiment with genetic engineering by splicing human DNA into a genetic animal hybrid. The addition of some respected Hollywood names, with Adrien Brody starring and Guillermo del Toro and Joel Silver attached as executive producers, should have brought Splice to some acclaim.
Critically, it did relatively well, but it was a commercial failure, and has passed into relative obscurity since its 2009 release.
Anyone who watched Splice, however, will be haunted by the movie's disturbing final scenes, and will likely have difficulty forgetting its conclusion.
Dren is Clive and Elsa's experiment, and the introduction of human DNA leads them both to consider her their daughter of sorts.
It's a journey with a predictable sticky end, but no one had quite been expecting Clive, Dren's creator and father, to have sex with her in the barn in which she lives.
After this, Dren metamorphoses into a male, and subsequently sexually assaults and ultimately impregnates Elsa, with whom Dren shares DNA.
It was disturbing viewing in more ways than one, and it blindsided Splice's audience.
