Nice review there.

I think splinter was decent. I mean the shaky cam? So overdone imo, i know its low budget, but anyway. I also think they spoiled the whole movie way to fast(The opening scene/s). And when they first see the creature,( the walking hand) the dude starts to examine it right away, no reaction whatsoever. Who would not freak out in a moment like that?

The shaky cam made me almost turn off the movie, it annoyed me that we couldnt see the monster even a millisecond, because it looked rather cool.

Overall good acting.

I would give it a 6/10.
