She's not human...not entirely.

HorrorScience Fiction

Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named "Dren", the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators - only to have that bond turn deadly.

VIBE

This film is a deeply unsettling, intellectually provocative descent into bio-horror. It feels disturbingly intimate, exploring the dark side of creation and the blurred lines of humanity with a grim, transgressive curiosity that lingers long after the credits.
