Splinter (2021)
Tense, fun indy thriller with a twist

Lucky enough to see a sneak peak of this - it a fun film. It's a slow burn but if you stick with it you'll be pleasantly rewarded. Great performances from Bill Fellows as he struggles to cope with what has happened to his family. Lovely to see Jane Asher again and Michael McKell excels as always.
The mood is claustrophobic and intense, mazing what David Bryant was able to achieve on a shoe-string budget. The score by Adam Langston is spot on, mixing the emotional with the disturbing.
As well as some thrills and scares, this film isn't afraid to deal with bigger issues of depression and the stigma of mental illness.
It would make a fun Xmas movie.
