I just finished watching Splintered, a 2010 British horror flick that's recently received a spiffy DVD/Blu-ray combo pack release. Since it took up my whole morning, I want to do it justice. So let me see...what kind of movie is Splintered ?
Ah, I've got it. Splintered is a derivative, pedestrian thriller — but that's okay, because it's also tedious and predictable.
No, that's not quite right, but it's close. Let's dissect it to see if we can do a little better.
Full of tired ideas recycled from other better films, Splintered tells the tale of Sophie (Holly Weston), an eccentric coed who drags her friends deep into the Welsh woods in search of a local legendary creature that's either a werewolf or a fox. Since childhood, Sophie has...
