You just can't wait for them to get killed off quickly enough.

Not enough twists or shocks to make it interesting or scary.

When you finally learn what it's all about, you might have preferred a community theater production of "Annie" instead. "Splintered" is lame to the max.

An enthusiastic, if dog-eared mongrel of a movie.

Poor pacing and predictability -- not to mention amateurish performances -- rob even the kills of genuine impact.

Splintered (Simeon Halligan, 2010) You have seen this movie at least a dozen times. Innocent, or maybe not so innocent but she's certainly done nothing to deserve this, girl is abducted by someone or something and imprisoned. There is someone close by who may or may not be able to help her, but is useful for passing information through to the captive (and, by extension, to the viewers). There is a Big Reveal about the killer, and often whether the viewer is left with a good taste in his or her mouth about the movie turns on whether that Big Reveal works. (I'm not sure it did here, I don't think this movie could have been saved one way or the other.) It's a well-established framework that lazy scriptwriters insert characters into for an almost instantly-completed movie. The end result, given that you are using a well-established framework, is utterly predictable and very rarely worth your time. Such is the case with Splintered. *

Was a cool twist on werewolves but that was about all that was good about this movie.

Poor story which is frankly a mess with an ending that is tacked on.

Horrible acting, horrible story line, horrible idea, horrible characters. Keep far from this one, it makes no sense. Girl is running around some huge house in the woods while her friend gets eaten. She knocks herself out and wakes up tied to a bed naked...WHY DIDNT SHE GET EATED TOO! I could make a better film with my eyes closed.
