Splice - Boy meets girl/animal genetic experiment entity

The 2009 science-fiction/horror movie Splice raises a lot of questions about the moral implications and personal ramifications of science, particularly the rapidly evolving discipline of genetic engineering. While working at a scientific facility called Nucleic Exchange Research and Development (or N.E.R.D.), genetic engineers Clive (Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) secretly develop a viable creature, mixing human DNA with genetic materials from animals.á

The being that results grows from child to young woman very quickly, and Elsa names her Dren (N.E.R.D. backward). Clive, meanwhile, clearly finds Dren (Delphine Chanéac) beautiful, although she's more animal than human with her giant eyes, long tail, and feet that look like hands. It's obvious the movie is going to build to some kind of intimate act between Clive and Dren, but it doesn't make it any less weird when it happens. And it does happen, in a barn where Dren has been locked up, no less. It's like he's getting down with his coworker and his pet all at once.
