While camping in the woods, Polly Watt and her clumsy boyfriend Seth Belzer damage their tent. They decide to spend the night in a low-budget motel. Meanwhile the criminals, Lacey Belisle and Dennis Farell, have trouble with their runaway car while heading to Platt and they walk on the lonely road. When Polly passes by Lacey, she stops the car and the couple is rendered by Dennis. However, Polly hits something in the road and while replacing the tire, they are attacked by a weird splinter. The car overheats and they stop in a gas station, where they are trapped by zombies, victims of the splinter parasite.
Leave your thoughts about Splinter.
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumA nifty horror movie that doesn't claim to be anything other than a zippy exercise in creature-feature entertainment. |
| VarietyJohn AndersonA spare, effective and genuinely frightening retro-nightmare. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinThe result, however clichéd, is spectacularly unnerving: hair-trigger horror. |
| Village VoiceChuck WilsonBuoyed by solid ensemble work, some yuckily effective special effects, and a script that subverts genre convention by having its characters do smart things instead of stupid ones (mostly), Splinter earns our respect while delivering 82 minutes of lean, mean fun. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternIt's short, taut, nicely shot, well-acted, astutely directed, specific where it might have been generic, original enough to be engrossing and derivative enough to be amusing. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThere's potential for a lot more excitement in Splinter, but Wilkins seems content just to bring it across the finish line. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanIf "Saw V" offers an example of how little filmmakers can get away with, Splinter proves how much a director can do with next to nothing. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleA fan of flash-edited, orientation-challenged, hand-held camera mayhem, Wilkins unfortunately takes the wrong cue from his title and fragments the movie's attack scenes for maximum energy but minimal logical effect. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigSplinter is no exploitative blood bath or torture horror like the "Saw" movies. It's more of a thriller along the lines of "The Thing" or "Alien." The scares are equal parts psychological jolts and gore. This is classic Halloween fun, with plenty of thrills and chills, surprisingly believable performances, and healthy doses of humor. |
| New York PostKyle SmithThere have been worse horror flicks, but although this one offers a few scares, it doesn't have a lot of imagination. |
