‘Splinter’ Stars, Director to Sign Copies at Dark Delicacies in California

CHICAGO – One of my favorite horror movies of the last several years, Toby Wilkins’ “Splinter,” will be the centerpiece of a signing event at Dark Delicacies in Burbank, Calif. on Saturday, May 16, 2009 at 2 p.m. If you’re anywhere near the store, you should check it out. I would.

Director Toby Wilkins and stars Jill Wagner and Shea Wigham will appear at the event to sign copies of “Splinter” and Wilkins will also sign copies of “The Grudge 3,” which comes out on DVD on May 12th, 2009 from Sony.

A sample of my “Splinter” review:

“What does director Toby Wilkins do with “Splinter” that so many horror directors miss? He understands how to build tension and the power of the unseen. “Splinter” works because it places the focus on the well-rounded, believable characters instead of just their trap or their enemy. It’s a modern film take on what filmmakers have been doing for years and feels like a movie John Carpenter and Sam Raimi would love.”
