But they didn’t, and the impressionable ending of Splice now sits for all to behold on Netflix’s streaming library.
Looking at the details layered in the film’s story, Natali didn’t just surprise the audience without any rhyme or reason.
This twisted conclusion has a basis in the events that took place prior to the fateful showdown at the family farm, and if Clive and Elsa were paying attention, they might have been able to prevent them from happening.
The resurgence of Splice is bound to have people talking yet again about just why this infamous ending is a disturbing masterpiece of shock; and maybe even lead to a conversation about how the world lost out when Vincenzo Natali didn’t get to make his version of Swamp Thing.
