As the weeks go on, I’m learning that not only did I like Magnet Releasing’s Splinter (review), but so has all the other press. It keeps coming up in random conversations, something along the lines of, “Dude! Did you see SPLINTER yet? It’s pretty awesome! ” Directed by Toby Wilkins, this little indie treat is getting a limited theatrical release on October 31. I feel bad for the ones of you who miss the opportunity to see this in theaters, because it truly is a bloody god time. Today we were supplied with the first images and a longer synopsis so you can get even more stoked for the film. Don’t forget to check out the trailer over at BDTV. Read on for the pics.

A young couple retreats to the wilderness for a romantic camping weekend, but their 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 back roads 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….

The feature film debut from award-winning British horror director Toby Wilkins, SPLINTER is an exhilarating ride of jolts and laughs, and a throw back to the classic creature features of the early 70s and 80s.
