Really, I'm surprised he could afford to do any Cronenbergian experiments, because I could fiddle through my wallet and pull out more money than the amount that went into "Cube". Oh wait, this isn't Cronenberg, it's just some other weird Canadian who wishes that he was Cronenberg, which I suppose is just fine, seeing as how this Vincenzo Natali guy can probably actually back up those ambitions of being Cronenbergian, especially now that he has a bigger budget to do more Cronenbergian "experiments". Nobody", but because, with Merle from "eXistenZ", this film has an even bigger nostalgia slant that makes it an even more satisfying return to the body-horror genre for David Cronenberg.

Well, I suppose I'm ultimately glad that she's here, not just because I'm happy to see that she actually got paid for something in 2009, seeing as how this film's central experiment has an immensely better chance of going on without a hitch than anyone seeing "Mr. Korey Coleman said it best: "You see, this is what happens when hipsters play God." Seriously, I don't know which experiment is stranger: the genetic engineering experiment this film is about or Adrien Brody's experimenting with that haircut? Seriously though, I suppose I can buy Brody as a hipster scientist, because he just had to have done some kind of genetic modification on himself to get that nose, though Sarah Polley on the other hand, I don't know if I so much have a hard time buying her as a scientist as much as I have a hard time buying that she would want to try something like this, because, I don't know about y'all, but after I faced an army of feral zombies like the one's in Zack Snyder's "Dawn of the Dead", I think that I would be turned off to the idea of doing a dangerous human-animal gene splicing experiment.
