![]() German Version: 15:01 | US Version: 14:56 Here the German Version illustrates that Clive seems to be helpless much better while Elsa is much more decisive. Maybe you hadn't started so much controversy in the press." I mean, regulators, politicans, they'll tear us to pieces. The moral outrage will be completely out of control. William: "Elsa, we all know, that can't happen right now. Elsa is angry about that, William Barlow explains it and a short part of that dialog is missing in the US Version But Newstead Pharmaceuticals wants to begin with phase 2, the chemical analysis of the current results. German Version: 0.5 sec | US Version: 2 secĮlsa and Clive would like to get permission for tests with human DNA. The US Version contains an extended shot of the conference room instead. The German Version sticks longer with the presentation when Elsa and Clive present the archievements to Fred. Joan Chorot from Newstead Pharmaceuticals in the German Version before Elsa and Clive report about the newest achievements in their office. That's why the German Version is longer here. The US Version instead contains a black screen and her statement is audible. The German Version contains a shot of Elsa while she's saying that. "Fred" has a heartbeat after the electro shocks. 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. 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. Here the movie is sometimes exaggerated, Dren has just too many trick in petto. Splice is rather a character study and an intimate play with a couple of actors. Horror only shows up in the last 10 min and even here the producers didn't come up with the conventions. Further parts of the movie are a journey of discovery for the leading actors and the audience. Only a coupe of scenes are really suspenseful and even that seems to be forced. Being advertised as a horror movie in the trailers, these expectations were dashed by the end result. The main reason for that is the bad promotion. Unfortunately, Splice failed at the box office. ![]() 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. ![]() 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. 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. Cuts below a half second aren't mentioned, except the cut has been made at quite an interesting pasage. 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. Lots of the differences are cuts with a length of a few seconds, which actually doesn't make any difference at all. But if it's a release by Warner, it's likely that it contains the US Version. ![]() the releases of the other parts of the world are unknown. France and Germany got Version #2 (here: German Version). In the US, UK and Canada, Version #1 (here: US Version) was released. 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.
