Another engaging low budget horror film with intriguing premise yet I have one-sided beef with the cameraman. Shaky camera movement ruined the entire intense moments for me.

Mean little monster movie. Gas Station horror is among one of my favorite sub genres. Stunning practical effects

I'm all for single location horror in fact it is my favorite kind,but this editing was killing me man. In a creature feature like this I would like to see the damn creature ,this is way too choppy and cut around. Also characters are some of the most stupid I've seen in…

Strangely disjointed, incoherent, and drawn out. Despite the perfect chamber-drama setting (a gas station), the story never really comes together. And that's a fair assessment, because unfortunately it's obvious that the film - despite its promising premise - didn't have a…

Interesting premise, however my desire to cave every character in the head with a brick cannot be overstated. There are only like 4 characters in this entire movie just for context. Award for genuinely the shittest editing I have seen in anything ever. Skinny Pete what…

For some reason I really like this movie, first time u watched it I was drunk so maybe that’s why lol. It’s honestly pretty fun though and I’ve watched it several times since (while sober) and still enjoyed it!

This movie doesn’t try to do too much and that allows it to do better than most at being a 2000s horror film where the characters are multidimensional, the body horror is great, and the runtime doesn’t go on too long. Overall a pleasant surprise and very underrated

Jill Wagner stars in this “creature feature” type film. not the worst i’ve seen. had some really entertaining scenes. Again could’ve been better but could’ve been worse. an interesting movie if you’re bored and looking for some entertainment:)

Splinter

A fun monster movie with body contortions and actually smart characters. Great performances from the main 3 cast, especially the guy convict. The movie kind of had vibes like the House of Wax remake.

Splinter

A creature feature that will make your skin crawl. The downsides are mainly in editing and bringing nothing new to the genre, but for a low budget indie horror they tried their best. 5.5

i could not recommend watching this horror movie more when high. the animation it honestly crispy so it’s just fun to laugh at and occasionally pay attention when with friends.

i fell asleep watching this cuz it was really boring, they barely showed the creature and it felt like it was just them bantering in the gas station for the whole thing

5.1/10 this movie was not very well made and the acting was really weak but the idea was actually not bad - needed a little bit more explanation to make sense
