Holly Weston as Sophie in British horror film Splintered. Public Domain

A young woman tormented by nightmares about being frightened and abused as a child drags along three reluctant, disagreeable chums to investigate a cannibalistic creature on the loose in North Wales. They come across an abandoned but not deserted orphanage in the woods and mayhem ensues. After hanging around for a couple of years this indifferent horror flick is getting a brief cinematic release before going to DVD where, if anywhere, it belongs. It's the final film of the British independent producer Clive Parsons, the ex-barrister and co-author of a bestselling schools Latin vocabulary book. He's better remembered for such movies as Scum, Gregory's Girl and Britannia Hospital.
