Reviews


91
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
A cheeky, great-looking, thoughtfully loopy creature feature about the lure and dangers of cutting-edge gene splicing.
91
Tampa Bay Times - Steve Persall
It's a refreshing change from run-of-the-kill horror. Nothing in Splice feels done merely for the moment -- it's to creep you out later.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
Writer/director Vincenzo Natali takes his tale in some truly icky directions, not quite making it into Cronenbergland but going far enough to elicit solid 'ewww' laughs from the crowd.
70
Variety - Justin Chang
Vincenzo Natali's outlandish sci-fier sustains a grotesque and funny fascination throughout its slightly protracted runtime.
70
Village Voice - Nick Pinkerton
Splice is a queerly funny movie, attuned to the absurd.
