Pretty Decent Scary Movie, Not a bit cheezy and very original. Don't pass us this non mainstream movie.

Surprisingly suspenseful, the director skillfully keeps from going over the top. The dialogue is fresh and convincing, as is the acting. Good score. Fine special effects. Sometimes the camerawork is a bit annoying, but overall a great effort.

Not spectacular at all but smart, simple original: a very interesting movie. All horror fans will apreciate, mainly for its very nice creatures. Great discovery.

A badass flick right here. It definitely leaves the generic scary movies in the dust. Fantastic writing, fantastic plot, fantastic acting. The best scary movie I've seen coming from this generation.

I don't understand, with the plethora of cheesy, bad acted, horribly directed horror films that have come out recently, why films such as this do not get their deserved respect. Many complaints I have heard about this movie are pretty petty,I don't understand, with the plethora of cheesy, bad acted, horribly directed horror films that have come out recently, why films such as this do not get their deserved respect. Many complaints I have heard about this movie are pretty petty, considering the achievements the director and actors have made, with an obviously lower than blockbuster budget. I am a die-hard fan of old horror and sci-fi, and miss the days when directors could set a mood, a feeling of dread, without resorting to jump in your face scare tactics and relying on special effects to compensate for a sub-par plot and acting. Although this movie DOES have some jump in your face moments, and has the monster on display, quite a bit in my opinion, it also leaves much to the imagination, which can be a lot creepier in my opinion. It doesn't upset me at all that the monster is not just thrust in your face the entire movie. This director, and actors both did an excellent job of building their characters, and making me care for them, unlike so many other horror flicks. Give credit where credit is due, and learn to appreciate these little gems, when they do pop up. Definitely worth a watch if you're into a good horror flick, with surprisingly good acting to boot!… Expand

The acting wasn't bad, the practical effects were well made and the story was interesting. Splinter may have some clichés here and there, it may be a little bit too silly and it may be a little bit too predictable, it's still an entertaining movie.

Splinter contains not only wonderful creature effects and fantastic gore, but also very likeable and believable characters, together with hand-chewing suspense. Certainly one of the most underrated horror films of recent times.
