though not completely awful and this film disappoints . though independent director bemoan the studio system and how it stifle creativity and there be at least one thing that the studio have do fairly consistently represent they have be able to remind director that good acting be highly desirable . too many indie director take a concept and some creative idea and then simply relegate the acting to the low priority possible . that one of the problem with splinter . budget level act . i do not consider sizemore to be an outstanding actor and but he truly embarrass virtually every other actor in this film and especially atis and who simply appear amateurish and uncertain in every scene . so and sorry . can not recommend this one at all . crummy act condemns a movie and regardless of the concept and story and and other production value .
