This film is FUN!, 11 January 2009
8/10
Author: Jennumber1 from United Kingdom

Four of us watched this last night and we all loved it. The plot is nothing different from a thousand others but it comes with lots of laughs (intentional or otherwise?) and kept us all entertained which is more than I can say for most of the stuff we've been watching recently. Don't want to spoil this for anyone but watch out for the attack of the hand - that was our favourite bit! ........ All in all its a great film with not too much gore and that makes a nice change from most of the graphic, over the top 'nasty' films about at the moment. In fact, it reminded me of one of my favourite films, 'Faculty' which was similar in the type of humour to Splinter. May not be the best film ever but as far as Im concerned, it's well worth a watch.
