Splinter - DVD (2008)

Director: Toby Wilkins
Starring: Shea Whigham, Paulo Costanzo, Jill Wagner & Rachel Kerbs
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031280/

 A young couple retreats to the wilderness for a romantic camping weekend, but the trip quickly spirals into a nightmare when they are carjacked by an escaped convict and his girlfriend.
Thrown together by chance, no one can imagine the terrifying horror that awaits the couples at a...get this....remote gas station..
 OK I know this sounds really dumb and sci-fi channel'ish
but trust me....it's not bad. Turns out that a Splinter virus takes over the host body..and well....yeah. I really don't want to give tooooo much away, but this is a must if you're a fan of isolated virus movies...that involve splinters. You know, it never ceases to amaze me what ideas can be put into a
horror movie. My initial response was a huge "NOOOOOOOOOO" but it really wasn't that bad. The acting was decent, the plot was kinda dumb, but funny...and the gore was there in buckets....
overall rating * * *
