10 Horror Films You Probably Haven't Seen But Should
5. Splinter
Splinter is a 2008 horror, starring Jill Wagner, Paulo Constanzo and Shea Whigham. Written and directed by Toby Wilkins, this 82-minute grotesque film explores deeply disturbing subjects and portrays some gruesome scenes throughout.
The terror begins when a petrol station attendant gets bitten by a splintered creature. It becomes apparent that whoever is bitten or attacked by the creature becomes a splintered, killer creature themselves. The movie closely follows on the tail of a young couple, Seth Belzer and Polly Watt, who are travelling on a highway and get highjacked by an escaped convict. During their journey, they get a flat tire from a splintered creature and soon find themselves trapped in a living nightmare.
The film requires you to suspend belief, for some of the experiences and scenes in the production seem very far fetched. However, Splinter's a solid picture with a good cast and plenty of scares thrown in.
