Ive read a few other peoples reviews on here and i mustve watched a different film. O.k. theres nothing overly new here but the film is well made with good acting and does what it needs to at a good pace. I really liked it, as for 0 star reviews, baffles me

Sooo boring !

A Customer from Gloucester, 10th April, 2009

Not a horror by ANY means. One of those extremely annoying films where you expect it to be great but actually all of it takes place in about one place, in this case, a garage forecourt. Really really dull and predictable, nothing new. Deffinately would NOT reccomend this to anyone atall.

Enjoyable but not too serious

This is not a scary movie and didnt spook me like I thought it would. The are some good moments in the film and there are some stupid moments in the film where you think 'what the hell are you doing, thats so stupid'. All-in-all though I thought it was watchable and wasnt too long of a film.

It really will get under your skin

An exceptional horror film - there's not a gram of fat in the 79 minutes running time .Taking full advantage of its concept, location, micro-budget, special effects and the ability of a more than capable cast, Splinter crosses the invading parasite from The Thing with the mentality of The Evil Dead but without ever winking to the audience. As well as a well thought out creature with its own rules, that slots effortlessly and unfussily into the picture from the off, there's plenty of scares, thrills, some laughs and even well earned emotion and pathos ('You don't have to prove anything to me', one character says to another, revealing so much knowledge about them both in that moment that you want them to live so very badly). The script is efficient, the high drama never escalates to shrill hysterics as is so often the case with films like this, and the style, and economy, is highly impressive. Not to be missed.

Got it right!

After having watched the WRONG film called Splinter I was glad to receive this one. I thought this film was better than alot of the rubbish that has been released recently in the same genre. There were some good tense moments and moments of feeling really scared. Nothing to complicated to get your head around. It was a good ol case of..a parasite spreading and trying to escape it. So..nothing really DIFFERENT from anything else..it was just better than alot of the others due to some good acting and some well placed special effects. I wouldn't watch it over and over like some films but...glad I got to see it eventually!
