cmovies-99674 PROS: The best part of this movie was the action. SPLINTER was packed full of terrifying scenes. From beginning to end you were on the edge of your seat. This was followed by impeccable acting from everyone. Even the characters that didn't get a lot of screen time still played their role fully. The actors really developed their characters, from the relationships built to the personal will to survive. Thats what really pushed the movie forward,was the vibe of the movie. With such a low budget the film made up for it in different ways. You really got to know every detail of the setting, the characters, and the antagonist which really helped propel this film. Another great part of the movie was how well you were engaged in every second of the film. Even the ending was able to pull you in. It was sad and relieving at the same time. CONS: The small flaw of the movie was the major plot hole. This isn't a spoiler because it shows it in the trailer, but the police officer dies, and nothing happens from their. Without this the movie couldn't continue, but with this the film revealed a large plot hole.www.chorror.com

NileFortnerBoogieBuddha954 SPOILER FREE REVIEWSplinter is an example of how all you need in the art form of cinema is a decent premise, dedicated actors in their roles, & creative direction. What the film doesn't have is a huge budget, CGI, & big name actors. Not having these, in my opinion benefited this great movie. Splinter is one of the best horror/hostage/science fiction/creature feature movies in a very long time. This film is a great way to return to the basic roots of horror, and science fiction. This movie reminded me very much of an '80s and '90s film Sam Raimi would get Bruce Campbell to sign up for. This whole idea, of some kind of creature taking over our bodies, and dominating, morphing, and killing life on Earth, is a breath of fresh air from the remakes and reboots we've been getting lately. These creatures, and the special practical effects, are so amazing. That just like the creatures themselves they made my bones crack, snap, and pop in unnatural positions. Horror fans like me, especially enjoy these types of effects, because we no longer see them, and if we do, it's not as well done as Splinter. The story is original, and the characters come off as realistic individuals. My only complaint is the movie has some scenes of shaky camera work, when the creature arrives. However, I can see why some people wouldn't mind this. It allows the viewer, to not fully see the creature, and it adds a little bit of suspense. Accordingly, the film is at its finest, when these characters need to make decisions, and the sudden shock of these creatures bursting at you on screen. Hence, even if you are not a fan of horror movies, I believe this movie is worth viewing. Also, if you're in the mood for some fun, shocking moments, and an old style creature feature look no further than Splinter. It's a good damn time fellas.

georgiana-98758 Worst movie I have ever seen, poor story line, very bad acting, pathetic "horror scenes", low budget "special effects".The line of the story has no logic, they events defeated even the laws of physics and chemistry and science in general, there is no scientific explanation of anything, just chaotic bad acting of some people who I'm not sure they had a script.At some point you even forget what is the main idea of this "attempt of a movie" because the "horror scenes" are so hilarious but not in a good funny way, in a sad, predictable way. This movie is really a pathetic excuse for a horror and it is not scary at all. I am sorry I've lost 1 h 22 min of my life watching it but the only reason I saw it all was the hope of a surprise end....it didn't happen.

fxdx4 The first thing I did after watching the first 10 minutes is see what the budget was. The opening scene was so poorly directed, acted and had the worst special effects I have seen in a looooong time. Think 80's B or C level movies.So much can be done with low budget films these days. High school and college kids can make better effects than these. I was embarrassed for the directer. If the effects are truly that bad, don't put them in. Make it off screen, which can be very effective. Disgraceful. I am a fan of low budget movies, and I heard this one was good, but it was just too putrid to watch any more of.
