Preview: Splinter (2008)

• Poster: C

Review:

Not only does the film seem like a recycled hodge podge of horror flicks, but the poster looks like a retread of the ones designed for the Saw films.

• Trailer: C

Review:

This looks like another of those niche production companies trying to create an original horror film that adheres to some kind of formula. While having villainous individuals introduced and forced to work with virtuous individuals seems like a more novel approach, it is not the first and the monster-in-the-dark approach has been done to death and now it looks like they are just grasping at straws trying to find some new twist, this one combining the "what's out there" of The Mist with the diseaes-like paranoia of Bug.

Oscar Prospects:

None
