horror, and ethical drama, captivating audiences with its exploration of genetic experimentation.
Directed by Vincenzo Natali and starring Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, and Delphine Chanéac, the film
follows the journey of genetic engineers Clive Nicoli and Elsa Kast as they push the boundaries of science
by merging DNA from various animals to create hybrid creatures.Motivated by their ambition to
revolutionize science and medicine, Clive and Elsa venture into uncharted territory by incorporating
