In one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen, Clive (Adrian Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) are scientists doing tests constructing hybrid animals. However, they have an idea to use human DNA in the hybrid, in which their funding company forbids. They do the experiment anyway under wraps. They create Dren, a creature in which they grow attached to.
I actually thought the film was decent initially. However, they took the premise to a place that I was afraid of. I do understand the point that the filmmakers were trying to make, which was displaying the unfortunate fate of science if it continues in the direction it is going in, but it was just way too disturbing for me. It really does have a great concept though, but it just got way out of hand! The acting was good, and it was very believable. But if you were weirded out by Harold and Maude, DO NOT see this film!
BUT, it wasn't as bad as other films.
Overall Grade: B-
