“I am a fan of horror movies; cheesy horror movies, scary horror movies, big budget horror movies, and the latter. However, the unfortunate part about following horror movies is that it can be a difficult genre to articulate masterfully.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie Splinter makes the most out of what it is given, and it puts into place horrific devices that make the horror genre really shine. The film offers wit so far as having space for individual character development and unique character choices. However, the pacing of the movie is not cogent and the movie steered too far away from what makes a movie scary.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStill though, it offers sci-fi aspects to it and is well acted throughout – I give Splinter a 6 out of 10.”
