Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
A nifty horror movie that doesn't claim to be anything other than a zippy exercise in creature-feature entertainment.

Variety - Unnamed
A spare, effective and genuinely frightening retro-nightmare.
80
New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
The result, however clichéd, is spectacularly unnerving: hair-trigger horror.
80
Village Voice - Unnamed
Buoyed by solid ensemble work, some yuckily effective special effects, and a script that subverts genre convention by having its characters do smart things instead of stupid ones (mostly), Splinter earns our respect while delivering 82 minutes of lean, mean fun.
70
Wall Street Journal - Joe Morgenstern
It's short, taut, nicely shot, well-acted, astutely directed, specific where it might have been generic, original enough to be engrossing and derivative enough to be amusing.
