A New Splinter Review Out of the Blue

It’s been a year since Splinter came out, so there haven’t been many new reviews coming out in recent months. But today a new one popped up on a horror blog, and it’s great.

Samityville

A Nightmare on Samityville Street horror blog just posted a rave review, here are some excerpts, or you can read the very thorough and insightful review HERE.

“Toby Wilkins hasn’t forgotten the power of classics like John Carpenter’s The Thing or David Cronenberg’s The Fly. His exceptional genre debut Splinter - a body horror/monster pic that sports both blood and brains in equal doses – is a great example of humans forced to sacrifice their own bodies in order to survive.”

“The creature work and concept design of Splinter go a long way in making it the successful movie that it is… …the black splinters featured here make not only the action of the film more entertaining but also thought-provoking. Oh, and aside from all the behavioural implications and biological curiosity, these splinters are freaky as hell!”

“You can tell Wilkins and co had high aspirations when conceiving their macabre little picture and through believable characters and a striking central menace, Splinter is an attention-grabbing debut that deserves more than just a prick.”
