"[A] thriller along the lines of THE THING or ALIEN. The scares are equal parts psychological jolts and gore."

"[T]he director, Toby Wilkins, honors the conventions of the genre with skill and enough wit to keep the scares sharp."
Variety - 10/24/2008

?[A] tight and tense horror treat...? -- Grade: B
Product Description:
In this indie film sure to make audiences shriek, the horror is just beginning when a young couple is carjacked by an escaped inmate and his lover. But the criminal (Shea Whigham, WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORY) isn't the most dangerous thing on the trip; a mysterious, parasitic creature stalks the two couples, and a small convenience store doesn't prove to be much of a haven from the menace. Toby Wilkins, who won awards for his short film "Staring at the Sun," makes his feature directorial debut with SPLINTER.
