Review of Splinter (2008) by Mikes — 17 Feb 2009

Ok, this is good, very good in almost all respects, and yes effects are very good- even groundbreaking. But, uh, was Hershey's one of the main investors of this film? And are we all supposed to ignore the fact that this "blood" that they used was obviously chocolate syrup? It seems they did use some coloring in the syrup on the gas station window, but most of it was just plain chocolate.

I get it, ok, it's a nod to the masters of horror, bach when they used black and white film, and it worked very good on B&W, but color film- it just doesn't work and it ruins the effect.
