Indie horror film Splinter (not to be confused with either of the 2006 movies or the 1999 one of the same name) has been offering sneak peeks around the country to try to build some enthusiasm for its big opening this weekend (and by "big opening," we mean it's opening on four screens. But, hey, it's an actual opening, not just more sneak peeks, so that's something... ). Anyway, it's about some people who get kidnapped, but that's not the scary part. They end up trapped in a convenience store with their kidnapper, when some sort of creature with splinters (?!) appears outside and starts trying to get them. And these splinters? They kill! Ooh, scary. I will never be able to touch a piece of wood again for fear of a killer splinter. Barely familiar faces Shea Whigham, Paul Costanzo (remember Joey? If you do, I'm very sorry...), and Jill Wagner try with all their might to be earnest and afraid, but it's still hard to muster any fear about splinters.
