What People Are Saying About Splinter on Twitter
Every now and then it’s nice to see what random Twitterfolk are saying about Splinter. Here’s a selection of recent search results… not including all the invitations to download pirate copies. Ahem… you know who you are.

@ganglygolightly award-winning horror flick splinter has an amazing premise and a solid script. it also has a re-animated hand which flings itself at people.
@JennHolton Just finished watching the most inventive horrorfilm I’ve seen in a long time—”Splinter.” Freaky to *me* so that’s saying something.
@SamCostello Splinter = fast, gory, scary, fun. All in all, a good horror movie

Thanks for the great comments, keep tweeting the tweets, indie horror needs all the word of mouth it can get. You can follow me on Twitter @splinterfilm if you like, say “Hi” and tell your friends.
Featured on Mashable
So, I was killing time before a meeting this morning, checking Twitter, like I do, and I noticed I had a few new followers. Not that unusual for a Friday, but a little odd for a random Wednesday. I didn’t think too much of it, bumps happen, followers come and go and I don’t tend to obsess about it.
But by the time I got out of the meeting a couple of hours later I had over 100 new followers and it was obvious something was going on. So I turned to (where else) Twitter for the answer. Apparently the social media guide Mashable did a piece on filmmakers on Twitter, and out of the blue I seem to have made the list. Unexpected, and pretty damn cool, this may be the only time in my life my name appears on a list along side David Lynch.
So, thank you Mashable, Jennifer Van Grove, and CinemaTweets.com for the crazy boost, and thanks to all the new followers who popped over to Twitter to check out my stream. I hope I do not disappoint you all too much with my rather hum-drum life as a humble maker of film.
You can read the full list HERE, and if you don’t already, you can follow me @splinterfilm.
Splinter Sleeve Winners!
Over the past few days I have been running my own little contest on Twitter, I have a stack of UK DVD artwork for Splinter fans that post TwitPics of themselves with their brand new Splinter DVDs. Here are the first five winners:
Congratulations baywatchboy Travis68Charger evilontwolegs wayfarerXXXX and TheShape. While not everyone managed to follow the rules exactly… each will receive a DVD sleeve, signed by myself and the lovely Jill Wagner. For those not following along at home, the UK DVD artwork, looks like this:
Special mention to geekCouch who made it under the wire, but unfortunately with a Blu-Ray copy, not the lowly DVD. Sadly I don’t have any Blu-Ray artwork to give out yet… but I’m working on it.
Quotes From The Twitterverse
Over the weekend, Splinter played a couple of times on the SciFi Channel, and with the wonder of modern internet life-blogging technology, Twitter, we were able to track people’s real-time reactions to the film. What a trip.
Here’s a few quotes:
- Watching the most amazing horror film called Splinter. One of the most original gruesome films I’ve seen in years.
- Watching the hi-quality ‘Splinter’ on SciFi. Lots of gore, brilliant acting, and dun-dun-DUN!!!
- Splinter is the shit!
- Also, check out the movie SPLINTER. Caught it on SciFi Channel — and it’s actually good. Not just SciFi good.. but, edge of your seat good.
- Watched Splinter on SciFi last night. Awesome movie. Can see how it was on some best of ‘08 horror lists.
- Splinter, one hell of a monster movie!
So thanks to everyone who watched, and especially those who chose to share their views. What a truly awesome world we live in.
