New clip from SPLICE, the upcoming mad science thriller

I've been very curious about Splice, the upcoming genetic experimentation thriller from Cube director Vincenzo Natali. Cube is an underrated little mind-warper, and Splice has the potential to be a classic Frankenstein story. Sarah Polley and Adrien Brody star as two scientists who create Dren, a human/animal hybrid that rapidly mutates from a deformed infant into something larger and more dangerous.

The early form of the creature, seen in this clip, is a bizarre little plucked chicken thing that's horrifying and endearing all at once. You can sympathize with Polley trying to be gentle with it, and you can also sympathize with Brody for wanting to just gas it on sight.
