i only post this because i heard about this movie and that it was pretty good. and is on TV way before DVD.

"Splinter" won't be out till April on DVD/Blu, but if you want to see it it is on SciFi channel tonight 7:00pm EST. It is a one-time showing for now.

i am very surprised that this is being shown, especially on SciFi since it isn't even out on DVD and i was just searching for when this would be out on DVD just yesterday. imagine my surprise when i came across it in the DirecTV guide.

I watched it when they debuted it on HDNet Movies during the last Holiday Challenge. It was OK, but nothing like I was expecting.

Jill Wagner (from the Blade TV series) is definitely cute, but the film was much like every other film of its kind. Plus, I hated the fucking shaky cam work during the "attacks".. seemed like a mask for bad effects to me.

I saw the commercial for this and was interested enough to watch. It wasn't horrible, far better than most of Sci-Fi's original fair. I liked the concept and had there been few changes it could have been really good.

^ That's because it wasn't a Sci-Fi original movie. It's as much a Sci-Fi original as Dog Soldiers was.

Yeah. Sci-Fi picked up the cable broadcast rights from Magnolia under the deal that they "delay" the release of the DVD/Blu-ray.

This would've already been on DVD/Blu-ray a month or two ago if not for that deal.
