Splintered
‘Splintered takes the age old premise of teenagers in trouble, and satisfyingly takes us on a journey with them to hell and back. Sit back and enjoy as the story unfolds. There are twists and turns, deaths and near-miss getaways and plenty of old fashioned horror’. Quiet Earth
“An antidote to the dull-as-dishwater Saw films and mindless remakes that fill our multiplexes over and over again. If you want scares, blood and some actual story, you’ll be well served here,” Noel Mellor - Film Rant.
