Toby Wilkin is an incredibly talented director and an all around nice guy which is both pretty rare in Hollywood. Where most filmmakers and writers are busy stroking their own egos Toby Wilkins was busy making a truly fantastic monster movie that pays hommage to the long history of great classic monster movies.

SPLINTER is the closest thing to a modern day THE THING you can get and put the recent The Thing remake to shame. Its pitiful CGI special effects were no match for Splinters outstanding use of traditional practical FX. In an era where Hollywood is busy remaking and rebooting everything it is such a shame that people like Toby Wilkins get overlooked. Splinter is one of the 10 best sci-fi horror films of all time.

Trapped in an isolated gas station by a voracious Splinter parasite that transforms its still living victims into deadly hosts, a young couple and an escaped convict must find a way to work together to survive this primal terror.
