Splinter sees Scott Wills return to his childhood home, inherited from his now-deceased mother, with his own family – to start fresh and rekindle his roots. Roots being the operative word… You see Scott’s mother gave him up as a child, handing him over to relatives who raised him far away from his ancestral home… Though not His ancestral home… Whilst renovating the property Scott gets a small splinter in his foot. That’s nothing right? Well for Scott that minor inconvenience turns into an infection and infection that comes with visions, fever dreams and a rather nasty look side-effect…
Running less than an hour, Splinter starts off simple enough. Yes, we know this is a genre film and if, like me, you’ve seen a myriad of these films before,...

Moving back to the family home in Dover, Delaware, is a difficult process for Scott (Jim Thalman). He likes the place well enough, and it’s infinitely more practical than Baltimore, even if his teenage daughter, Olivia (Quincy Saadeh) is sulking about it, but it brings back memories of childhood and – as we are made privy to in the prologue – the night when, out of the blue, his mother took him to his aunt and uncle’s house and left him there, saying that his father was dead and that they must never allow her to go near her son again.
On top of this, a lot of work needs to be done to get the house into shape, and Scott is expected to do it all himself, with his wife Teresa (Kristin Muri) pressuring him to speed up. Getting a splinter in his foot is just another annoying detail in.
