10 More Worst Fates Suffered By Heroes In Horror Movies
7. Elsa Kast - Splice
In this Frankenstein-inspired thriller, unruly biologists Elsa and Clive create a new lifeform by splicing human and animal DNA. This one-of-a-kind creature, Dren, proves to be astoundingly adaptable and intelligent, much to Elsa's delight.
But as Dren's capabilities grow, so does its ambitions. After Dren begins lashing out, the two scientists decide to terminate the specimen. Enraged, Dren slaughters several facility workers, including Clive. Dren is killed during the climax, but not before it forces itself on Elsa, impregnating her.
After Dren caused Elsa to lose her reputation, her funding, and her partner, the last thing she wants to do is bring another creature like that into the world.
However, Elsa's benefactors offer her a hefty sum to keep the baby, knowing its unique genetic structure will revolutionise the scientific community. With her reputation in tatters and career in the toilet, Elsa has no choice but to agree to her company's terms.
Although it's uncertain what happened to Dren's offspring, it must be devastating that Elsa wasn't able to terminate it, since it will remain a constant reminder of the horrors she endured.
