Horrifying, Disturbing, Disgusting.
An isolated place and people doing their best to get out the situation alive, been there seen that right? Sure, but Splinter is so well crafted and executed that this didn't bother me one bit. The movie is tense and gory and doesn't drag for a second. Well done film.

October 31, 2025 - The movie is about two detectives (played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman) who try to solve the case of a serial killer who seems to be knocking off his victims to the tune of the seven deadly sins. It’s a gritty, realistic thriller that doesn’t just get to us because of the violence, but because of the psychological aspects as well. Each murder scene is modeled after one of the sins from the Bible, with the most disturbing being “lust” and “sloth.” It’s an intense piece of filmmaking that is so raw and unnerving that it tends to stick with you well after it’s over, and with good reason.
