2.5/4
"
Splinter
suffers from a case of the B-movie blues. The movie's more cliched aspects tend to wear thin pretty fast"
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
A. J. Hakari
"deliver[s] plenty of bang from the filmmaker's limited bucks - but
Splinter
's greatest strengths, rare for the genre, are its solid characterisation, witty dialogue and charismatic performances."
Channel 4 Film
Anton Bitel
3.5/5
"If you can get beyond one basic narrative flaw, and a low budget dynamic which provides limited looks at our Bottin-inspired fiends,
Splinter
will come as a wonderful little fright flick surprise."
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
B
"Bloody, screamy, creepy crawly comfort food that cuddles B-movie horror convention without fatigue."

"The actors...are all terrible...but as [the characters] settle down into horror movie archetypes, the movie picks up: it becomes old-fashioned (as in Raimi-esque) fun..."

Henry Stewart
4/5
"a nifty example of the horror-movie as thrill ride"

Jay Antani
4/5
"Splinter is another reaffirmation of my faith that horror can be more than boring remakes and sequels. It's proof that there are still good ideas out there."
The Horror Geek
Mike Bracken
3/4
"Exactly what a B-movie should be."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
4/5
"A high-end feature-length version of
The Outer Limits
, combined with a fond enthusiasm for creative gore and populated by a trio of characters who are actually interesting."
