Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Ben Lyons, At the Movies: It's good, it's just nothing really groundbreaking or special. Read more
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture: Splinter has a hackneyed gimmick -- dead bodies trying to smash their way into an isolated convenience store -- but I loved it to pieces. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: 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. Read more
Scott Tobias, AV Club: The film lacks that spark of originality or humor or thematic resonance that might have elevated it from forgettable genre time-passer to something more lasting. Read more
Amy Nicholson, Boxoffice Magazine: Once audiences get over snickering at a creature that they initially write off as a rabid hedgehog (too bad that Geoffrey Rush film already snatched up the title Quills), they'll be happy to strap in for a satisfying ride. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: A nifty horror movie that doesn't claim to be anything other than a zippy exercise in creature-feature entertainment. Read more
Luke Y. Thompson, L.A. Weekly: ...delivers the year's best beast -- a spiny fungus that turns its victims into zombiefied walking pincushions. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: If you've seen The Thing or The Evil Dead, you've seen much of Splinter, but it's a lean, fast-moving and fun little flick that doesn't waste any of its scant 82 minutes. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: The movie's awash in blood, sure, but it has more brains on hand than just the ones dripping down the wall. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: [Director] Wilkins understands that what we don't see is often more unsettling than what we do. But he also throws in plenty of well-earned gore, making this an ideal option if you're looking for a few new Halloween scares. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: There have been worse horror flicks, but although this one offers a few scares, it doesn't have a lot of imagination. Read more
