Splinter (I) (2008)
7/10
A really cool flick...
1 June 2009
The genre of the creature feature hasn't had a good shot in the arm for some time. This is a really great movie that combine elements of monster mayhem (one of the most original I've ever seen), zombie action and good old fashioned morality play (including transgression, redemption and sacrifice). Those of you out for gore will not be disappointed. The very nature of the creature in this film makes for some very squirm inducing scenes.

I feel the acting is somewhat above par. I was genuinely interested in these characters and thought that there was some real development here. It was also nice to see a strong, take-no-prisoners female lead; reversing the classic damsel in distress formula far too common in movies of this type.

It's fast paced, very well produced and completely worth your time and money. Nice to see an "independent" film deliver the goods!
