The French-Canaddian-US co-production Splice, advertised as scary movie which technically doesn't want to be one, has been released in two different versions. In the US, UK and Canada, Version #1 (here: US Version) was released. France and Germany got Version #2 (here: German Version). the releases of the other parts of the world are unknown. But if it's a release by Warner, it's likely that it contains the US Version.

The differences are almost marginal. Lots of the differences are cuts with a length of a few seconds, which actually doesn't make any difference at all. Only two dialog passages removed in the US Version plus the only really important cut at the end are actually worth being mentioned, the rest is trivial. Cuts below a half second aren't mentioned, except the cut has been made at quite an interesting pasage. For instance, it's pretty interesting that, when the German Version contains one more scene, the scenes before and after that are 5 frames longer in the US Version.

Splice is about 2 geneticists, who possess first achievements in merging genetic material of different animals and plants for a pharmaceutical company and who aren't being supported for the next logical step (mixing it with human DNA) by the company they work for. Sligthly annoyed about spending the time with the chemical analysis of preliminary results from now on, they decide to mix the DNA from animals and humans secretly.

Unfortunately, Splice failed at the box office. The main reason for that is the bad promotion. Being advertised as a horror movie in the trailers, these expectations were dashed by the end result. Only a coupe of scenes are really suspenseful and even that seems to be forced. Further parts of the movie are a journey of discovery for the leading actors and the audience. Horror only shows up in the last 10 min and even here the producers didn't come up with the conventions. Splice is rather a character study and an intimate play with a couple of actors. Here the movie is sometimes exaggerated, Dren has just too many trick in petto. Obscure characteristics of the plot, which usually don't fit in a mainstream horror flick, force it into a very special corner, where especially leading actress Sarah Polley feels home. If you got no problem with that, you can enjoy an interesting movie in which the monster doesn't turn into a beast after the first act.
