Just saw this movie last night and really enjoyed it - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031280/?ref_=nv_sr_2
Has anyone else seen it, loved how simple it was and the acting was good and the creature was gross so I can recommend it! Georgia xx

I saw it a few years ago. I liked the creature but I wasn't crazy about the film. It just seemed to stay in low gear and failed to build tension. I have seen a lot of favorable reviews for this title, so I suspect I'm in the minority on this one.

Watched it a while ago and thought it was a decent creature flick.

Hello Georgia. :) Ty for the post, it looks decent. I often like films that take primarily in one place, where people are trapped.
Wanted to mention we have a specific forum/section thread for recent films, as well as 80's/90's and one for before 1980. If its alright :), please post the appropriate films in those threads/forum section.

I have yet to see it, but I believe I've heard of it. Always up for a monster flick so I'd give it a try.

I love this movie! It's an undiscovered gem, IMHO. Body horror with characters you care about and the monster was well-balanced against the protagonist. I did a video analysis of what I liked about this movie here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQYCPTw1Blw), specifically touching on the great characters and their realistic response to the horror threat. My review also gives bonus points for this movie having a female-led relationship. ::love::

My review is spoiler-free, so I never got into it in my video, but did anyone else think the monster should have been WAY more interested in that soft pretzel machine?
Watching The Hallow (The Woods 2015) recently reminded me of a worse version of Splinter--if you've only got time for one, watch this instead. What did other people think?
