A by-the-numbers horror movie, "Splinter" finds a couple battling both an escaped convict and a violent, infectious creature. Most of the film's action takes place in a small gas-station, where blood spills, limbs tear and mouths contort in pain. This gas-station is given some thematic weight; the film's monster is a product of an oil corporation's attempts at experimental extraction.
Clichéd, poorly written and unimaginatively directed by Toby Wilkin's, "Splinter" never elevates itself above similar, low budget horror movies. Paulo Costanzo and Shea Whigham star.
4/10 – See "Carriers" and "Vanishing on 7th Street".
