On Saturday I checked out the film Splice and I had a pretty fun time - The reasons were pretty simple:1) Canadian production
3) Wasn't the opening week, which is important to me as I hate sharing a movie theatre with other people; my friends and family sure, a hundred other people who bathe in perfume or wish to share the AXE effect with me - no thanks.
The theatre had a grand total of five people in it; which is just about perfect and here's what I've got to say about the film itself; it was pretty cool! A modern-day take on the classic Frankenstein story, with human cloning thrown in and willing to go places I definitely was not expecting.
I love watching these kind of movies with my BFF Mike as he loves SF and I love horror, and therefore usually I can blame his genre for everything that goes wrong in the events of the film.
Bookmonkey: Would there even be a monster if those scientists hadn't gotten so uppity?
BFF Mike: ...
Bookmonkey: (While shaking his fist in the air) SCIENTISTS!?!
The actors were great, I like both Sarah Polley and Adrien Brody and neither disappointed here, the visuals were very cool, and the actress who played the adult version of the creature was very effective.
I had a lot of fun - this film gets a big recommend from me.
My only complaint was with the trailers - Twilight Saga: Eclipse (although I'm not a fan I guess I can see why they put it here), and then a collection of comedy films - where were my horror trailers before my horror movie?
