That’s quite a jump, no? I’m sure they have their reasons, but as Wilkins made clear in a post on HorrorMovies.ca’s forums, this delay is actually a good development for the fans; ”pushing the release date back a little has given us the time to add a ton of extra content to the DVD, including two commentary tracks we recorded last week, and also to do a Blu-Ray release, which I was personally very pleased to get.” Wilkins posted, ”So I hope you agree that the extended wait comes with at least a little bit of a silver lining.”
Splinter is currently airing in On-Demand, and the Sci Fi Channel will be showing the film in high definition during the Valentine’s Day weekend, including a back-to-back showing with Neil Marshall’s Dog Soldiers on Valentine’s night, so you at least have a few chances to check it out before April. Keep it here for an expanded look at the DVD’s specs as soon as we get them!
