Splinter starts off making fun of a cliché, and then develops into a smarter slasher flick than we are used to in todays Hollywood. the monster is creative and the effects are good enough to make me turn away when its attacking. This is a fun little movie that is not pretentious, a ripoff, or cheesy. I had a lot of fun watching the crack-head get it, and the writing was good enough to keep me engrossed in the characters. the movie is fast paced, and where others would drone on it speeds us. at 82 minutes it is a perfect length for a refreshing jolt. I am not a huge horror fan but i gave this film a chance and was not disappointed. overall i give it a 7 out of 10. in a genre that relies on remakes, over the top gore, and bad acting "splinter" comes through with good acting, a fun premise, and great set locations.
