BRANDON McGIBBON plays Clive's brother and fellow researcher who thinks his sibling and Elsa have gone too far with their genetic experimentation.DAVID HEWLETT plays Clive and Elsa's boss who wants them to deliver with their work and isn't happy when things don't go the way he wants.A quick learner, she ends up yearning both for her freedom, as well as the attention of Clive to whom she becomes sexually attracted. DELPHINE CHANEAC plays the teen and young woman versions of the hybrid creature they create, part human with various attributes of other animals and life forms thrown in.She uses strong profanity and has sex with Clive. She has an instant maternal bond to Dren, but her attitude changes as the hybrid girl quickly grows up and goes through the usual, and unusual, hormonal mood swings and such. SARAH POLLEY plays his live-in lover and fellow genetic scientist who decides to continue their research on the sly, including throwing in some of her own DNA into the mix.He uses strong profanity, has sex with Elsa and (SPOILER ALERT) Dren, and briefly drinks. He's initially against the presence of the hybrid Dren creature and wants to kill her at various points, but his attitude changes as she grows into an alluring teen and young woman. ADRIEN BRODY plays a genetic researcher who, along with his live-in lover Elsa and others, works for a company that's trying to create medical and scientific breakthroughs by mixing DNA from various animals and plants together.WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R For disturbing elements including strong sexuality, nudity, sci-fi violence and language. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? If they're into sci-fi thrillers, are interested in genetic research and/or are fans of anyone in the cast, they might be interested. Yet, her hybrid nature presents unique and unexpected challenges that the couple must contend with, developments that quickly progress from troubling to downright dangerous. As she quickly grows from toddler to young girl and then into a teen, Dren (DELPHINE CHANEAC) becomes ever more human due to her contact with her pseudo parents who keep her hidden away from the world, first in the basement of the lab and then at the abandoned farm where Elsa grew up. The result, another hybrid creation they nickname "Dren," is like a small, hairless child with bird-like legs and a poison-tipped, prehensile tail. When they successfully create two large, hybrid grub-type creatures, Barlow shuts down their experimental research to move on to the second stage of retrieving something marketable from them.Įlsa isn't happy with the development, and thus she and Clive continue to experiment on the sly, including throwing some human DNA into their next mix.
They work for Barlow (DAVID HEWLETT), along with Clive's brother, Gavin (BRANDON McGIBBON), in combining animal and plant DNA with hopes of the result creating medicinal and scientific breakthroughs. PLOT: Clive (ADRIEN BRODY) and Elsa (SARAH POLLEY) are genetic researchers and live-in lovers employed by Newstead Pharmaceuticals. QUICK TAKE: Sci-Fi: Hoping to find a cure for any number of medical maladies by combining the DNA of multiple animals and plants, two young scientists take that to the extreme when they mix in some human DNA and must then contend with the unlikely hybrid creature they've secretly created.
