This is everything I love about horror movies.

Suspense, comedy, tension, lots of scares, cool effects. I don't know why this doesn't have a higher rating. It's like people won't watch a horror movie these days unless a stripper's boobs are getting cut off or some little kid is levitating. Splinter definitely has some gore and violence, but it's there for the entertainment value and genuine scares -- not just disgust. I loved this movie. As a horror fan, I needed this movie. It's everything the genre is currently lacking, in my opinion.
