Splinter
Movie • 2008 • Horror
ReportWhen their plans for a nature trip go awry, Polly and boyfriend Seth decide to check into a motel. On their way, they're carjacked and kidnapped by low-rent crooks Dennis and Lacey, who take the victims and their SUV to a nearby gas station.

Maybe? You don't see anyone get hit but a man seems controlling and a bit aggressive with his partner. Bosses her around, in her face a lot, tells her what to do. She seems a bit intimidated by him.

Not on screen, but a woman talks about being upset that her dog died. Her partner keeps telling her it died when she's confused from drugs and thinks roadkill is her dead dog.

Someone uses a box cutter to try to amputate someone's arm. You see it cut through the skin.

The theme of the film. People get infected by splinters or others who are infected and their bodies get distorted. Splinters break out of their bodies, their limbs snap and get deformed, they become unrecognizable and look like deformed zombies walking around.

when infected people's fingers snap backwards. One person's arms breaks itself by the elbow. Someone wants to have their arm removed to stop the rest of them being infected, so another person breaks his arm with a big block. You hear the snap and see it and the man screams in pain

Not by someone else, but you could say yes as people are tortured by the splinters once they're infected. One man is found lying on the floor in pain and begs a healthy person to kill him as he's in too much pain. People can't control their bodies once infected and are put through pain out of their control, with bones snapping and their body contorting to painful shapes and splinters coming through their skin.

I think so. Quite a few gory scenes. One scene a woman is ripped in half by an infected person and you see the flesh slowly pull apart at her waist from the lower half of her body.

I'd say no but depends how claustrophobic you mean. There's no small cramped places but the film is about people being trapped in a gas station so that might count. It's not a tiny gas station, but not huge either.

Yes. Someone 100% dies by suicide, really not sure why there are so many people saying no. A guy blows up a gas station intentionally killing himself because he is infected.

People shoot at infected people with guns. People have a gun held to their head by a criminal who's making them drive him somewhere and listen to his commands.
