The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Splintered (2010)

Starring: Stephan Walters, Holly Weston
Director: Simeon Halligan

Premise:
Sophie takes her friends go off the Welsh countryside in an attempt to find a mysterious creature who has haunted her since childhood. They find an abandoned church and man who keeps the beast under wraps.

My Take:
The movie has a neat and interesting plot with some decent twists. But it's also chalked full of generic characters performing stupid actions and many horror cliches.
It's a shame.With a little polishing this could have been a better than average flick.

Rating: Warning
