Trapped in an isolated gas station by a voracious Splinter parasite that transforms its still living victims into deadly hosts, a young couple and an escaped convict must find a way to work together to survive this primal terror.
Anyone seen this? I thought it was pretty good, and creepy.

Way overrated in my opinion, not saying it is bad but there are way better creature films out there. Not bad none of the less.

I really liked this one, really good for a independent film.

What was so indie about it? I mean it had a good budget and went to theaters. It was average, could have been better and a little over hyped in every area.

I know the director because he is a member of HM.CA, he said it was a independent film. So I believe him since he directed it.

Limited release, it was in theaters near me.....but it did not play everywhere. I liked it, but I wish it was more exiting.

Way overrated, but some good stuff to it. Love the brutality and the creature, but hated the flash-cut editing and the incredible lameness of the tactics to get around the creature's heat-vision in the end.

Plus the people in this make stupid choices and you cannot help but to feel flustered, one of those times I wanted to jump in the film and say are you guys idiots.
And the flash editing was painful.

That ruined it so much for me, I dropped it down from a 9/10 all the way down to 7/10.

I gave it a 3 out of 5
The gore was pretty good, and the creature was decent, and the effects were solid. But overall I have seen better, and the 20 something horror awards it got is stupid.
