Splinter's Corpse Reanimating Parasitic Fungus - Explained - An Undervalued Horror Flick!
A recipient of six awards at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival, we are talking about the 2008 horror flick, ‘Splinter’. Besides winning honors for Best Score, Best Special Effects, Best Editing, Best Make-up, Best Directing to Best Picture, the movie was also nominated for Best Horror Film at the 35th Annual Saturn Awards. Sadly, it lost to Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Hellboy II: The Golden Army’. You will be further surprised to know that despite getting nominated at Spike TV’s 2009 Scream Awards for the Most Memorable Mutilation for the arm removal scene, Splinter actually lost to David Hackl’s Saw V’s Pendulum Trap.
Filmed over a course of twenty days, it is directed by Toby Wilkins and stars Shea Whigham, Paulo Costanzo and Jill Wagner in the leading roles. The flick despite having a limited theatrical release happens to be a gem of a movie; one with a haunting concept and brilliant execution!
In today’s video, we are not only going to talk about the movie but also explore the extraterrestrial parasitic fungus in detail. Are you ready?
