Why people love it

People revisit Splinter for the same reason it broke through in 2008: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a thriller rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Toby Wilkins keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The horror and thriller blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
