Somewhere in the deep Oklahoma woods lurks a frightening parasite not seen by man until now. Splinter tells the story of two couples, one planning to spend a romantic weekend away from the city, the other a couple on the run and looking for a vehicle. Eventually the four people come to rest at a remote gas station where they encounter the bizarre animal that infects animals and humans to make more versions of itself. Once the creature gets under your skin you start growing spine-like quills from your skin. Soon after your body begins to make jerky movements that you aren’t in control of. How do you fight something that attacks you from the inside and uses your body as a weapon?
Directed by Toby Wilkins, Splinter will make its debut on HDNET on October 29 and then come out in limited release two days later on Halloween but in only four venues (Village East, New York NY; Sunset 5, Los Angeles CA; Dobie, Austin TX; and Oklahoma City Museum of Art, OK.) Wilkins told fans that if the opening weekend for his show is good then we can expect Splinter to roll out in more places. For now, MovieSet has some goodies for you to get you creeped out including the Splinter trailer, a five-minue behind-the-scenes featurette and 7 stills from the film. Wander into MovieSet’s home for Splinter but be careful that you don’t get pricked by something nasty.
