I haven’t watched a good horror film in awhile. Most of the time when I’m watching a movie, it’s on in the background, I’m working on another project or doing housework, and I’ll look up from time to time to make sure I still know what’s going on.
Not here.
This one held my attention.
Splinter is based on the idea of the parasitic fungus. You are probably familiar with the one that’s taking over the ant population in some areas of the world, the one that takes over the ant’s brain to reproduce. That’s similar to what is going on here, except this one is taking over everything. Animals, racoons, humans.
I also love our little group of survivors. It’s a small cast of people, but we didn’t need anymore, more would muddy the waters. It’s just so good to watch them all realize what’s happening and how their motives change. Don’t get me wrong, this is still very much a body horror type of situation, so be warned.
My Rating: ★★★★
