This movie is sure to receive lots of bad reviews as it's an original, non-formulaic effort, as was George Lucas' THX1138 when it first came out. THX also received ghastly reviews originally, but eventually became an acknowledged classic. 7This movie is sure to receive lots of bad reviews as it's an original, non-formulaic effort, as was George Lucas' THX1138 when it first came out. THX also received ghastly reviews originally, but eventually became an acknowledged classic. 7 Splinters is one of the most surreal movies I've ever seen, reminding me of the German Expressionist films of the last century, and the work of Maya Deren. This was a thoroughly unique movie experience and I would encourage the viewer to approach it with an open mind. My wife and I enjoyed it greatly and though it seems rather disjointed (appropriately considering the subject matter) it does achieve a kind of coherence by the end. I rate it a 10 for it's fantastic narrative, visual, soundtrack originality, noir/expressionist sensibility, and it's eventual (and perhaps unexpected) coherence by the conclusion. Ironically (on a personal note) it also features one of my favorite now-classic cars of all time, which fits perfectly into the dreamlike visual milieu of the film. Expand
