Where to start? The positive side, even if I have briefly: photography. I noticed a particular concern for the environment in sharp contrast to the professional life of the protagonists (the latest computer technology, the highest level and so on. etc..) and their personal lives. All this is summed up in the scene where Elsa finds his own room when she was a child "as he had left." Belle lights: As the tension increases, switching from incandescent light and a tank of neon to a laboratory 'setting for outdoor night and twilight. Some cuts from French director depressed and a high level of acting: Brody manages to be almost always believable.
Everything I wrote in no way justifies the bad plot straight out of a B-movie rejects. Ed Wood probably would have done better. Is not there some flaw that makes the narrative a little sinuous or which limits the understanding: there is no uniformity and stiffness in the construct of narrative film. The two scientists actors (Clive and Elsa) are working on a project of splicing (literally merge, mix) of the DNA of various creatures, including Elsa same. A viewer of science fiction films and fantagenetica would expect the emergence of a powerful creature that threatens the species human as in X-Files, Leviathan, etc. The thing. etc.. Instead, the moment that should mark a turning point in the narrative is immediate: it only arrived towards the end of the film, when Clive and the now-adult Dren (the chimera grows at frenetic pace, as Solomon Grundy) fornicators and "scientists" are crying realize that you have twisted the rules of the game. The film ends after this gem, with a sequence of acts osceniumanamente and cinematically speaking, and just can not avoid the cliché of being vindictive semiumano extraordinarily powerful and fruitful and that kills everything it finds.
Do not throw away your time with this film, devoid of taste and slancio. Un film che peggiora con il passare del tempo e che proprio non vuol saperne di rimanere un film mediocre: con l'ultima mezzora di violenze, incesti e psicologia da quattro soldi si qualifica il per ora peggior film di questo blog.
