Splinter Website Goes Live

Posted by dominie in Events, Films, News on September 15th, 2008

The official website for Toby Wilkins’ Splinter has gone live.  Magnolia Pictures acquired the independent horror last year and did finally secure a limited Halloween night theatrical release.  Check the website for updates and the countdown to the seconds until Splinter’s theatrical release.

In the story, a young couple retreats to the wilderness for a romantic camping weekend, but their romantic idyll is shattered when they are car-jacked by an escaped convict and his girlfriend on the run from the police.
As the foursome travel the backroads together, each plotting their next move, they find themselves in deeper trouble than any of them could have imagined — a blood-crazed, parasitic creature that absorbs the corpses of its victims has laid claim to the woods, and the two couples are now in its sights.
Finding shelter at an abandoned gas station, they must use their wits and every weapon at their disposal to stave off the onslaught, not only from the insatiable creature, but also each other….

Splinter, the debut feature from British special effects wizard Toby Wilkins, is an exhilarating ride of laughs and jolts as well as a throw-back to the classic creature features of the early 70’s and 80’s.

Written and directed by Toby Wilkins, the film stars Shea Whigham (Wristcutters: A Love Story), Paulo Costanzo (Road Trip), Jill Wagner (Junebug), and Rachel Kerbs.

If you can’t wait for Halloween night, the film will premiere at LA’s Screamfest.
