What would you get if you crossed the genes of a human, a fish and a bird? You would probably get something like the strangely beautiful Dren. Splice is the new movie from Vincenzo 'Cube' Natali's Splice and we have a sneak preview below. But first, here's what Splice is all about:

Clive and Elsa are young, brilliant and ambitious. The new animal species they engineered have made them rebel superstars of the scientific world. In secret, they introduce human DNA into the experiment. The result is something that is greater than the sum of its parts: a female animal-human hybrid that may be a step up on the evolutionary ladder.

The clip below features Elsa (Sarah Polley) as she helps the interspecies organism Dren learn how to speak using family favourite Scrabble. Splice hits UK cinemas July 23rd.
