I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Tooth and Nail is one of those ever-growing number of 'apocalypse' films, depicting a bleak futuristic world filled with... well, nothing much really - broken down buildings and empty roads.In this case, as the narrator explains to us in the opening monologue, it wasn't a comet or nuclear war that wiped out humanity, it was a lack of petrol (or 'gas' as it's set in America). Um, okay, it's best to just take that at face value for the purposes of watching the film. In fact, it's probably best to get your mind in the frame of watching most of it in that way (if you want to have any hope of enjoying it).We meet a small band of survivors who have taken refuge in a large inner-city hospital and who spend their days desperately searching for food. However, they come a cropper when they bump into a ruthless band of cannibals, hell bent on having them all for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And there you have it, it's a 'stand off' movie - think Assault on Precinct 13, but without the huge cult following.Now, I normally hate movies (typically horror movies) where the heroes due stupid things, like run back into the haunted house instead of calling the police. I should warn you that there are plenty of these moments in Tooth and Nail. Yet, for some reason, I couldn't find it in me to hate this film. I've turned off many a movie for stupid characters, but I sat through this in its entirety.Granted it's no classic. If you check out the other reviews you'll find more than your fair share of hate directed towards it. However, if you lower your expectations significantly (hey, it has Vinnie Jones in, so what are you expecting - Shakespeare?!) you might find it entertaining for an hour and a half of bloodthirsty horror where vicious cannibals prey on some of the stupidest human survivors ever to be left alive.

Saw this as one of the "8 Films to Die For" and figured either the best or the worst. Thankfully I got the best.A group of people, lead by a professor played by Robert Carradine, has made a home for themselves in a hospital in a post-apocalyptic world. Things are going reasonably well until a group of cannibals attack the hospital, taking a number of them until the hero's numbers dwindle.Great movie. With a bigger budget this one would have been even better. This one had more suspense than most theatre-released films, and the cast is fantastic. Robert Carradine, Michael Kelly, and Rachel Miner lead the cast which also features cameos by Vinnie Jones and Michael Madsen.All in all a great horror film. Definitely recommended.

I'm a sucker for post-apocalypse movies, so when I saw this title at RedBox I had to check it out.I won't go into a plot synopsis as that's already been done, but it reminded me a small bit of Doomsday and Mad Max. Nothing was over-the-top about 'Tooth and Nail', not the acting, violence, gore, sex, etc. but, it was decent and watchable.The interaction between the characters trapped in the hospital was tense, although formulaic. You do get a sense of the emptiness in their world and the struggles of day-to-day existence. Time moves very slowly, like people waiting to die.Like I mentioned, there was gore, but nothing spectacular. The sex scenes were appropriate for a PG-13 movie as there was a distinct lack of nudity. My wife and I figured out who the 'wolf in sheep's clothing' was early on and if you watch it, you don't need CSI to determine who it is.Anyway, I give it some props for being a good distraction on a Saturday night. Although 'Tooth and Nail' isn't what I'd call an action film, wait until the ending... it's really cheesy and fun.

From last years 8 films to die for this is the story of group of people who have survived after society has collapsed on itself when the gas ran out. Not long after rescuing a young girl the survivors who have been living in a hospital find themselves stalked by a group of cannibals. Slow and not very clever end of the world tale that has a couple of nice twists sprinkled through it. (unfortunately the twists would give away details so I can't really discuss them.) Regrettably outside of the twists the film doesn't offer much else. Its too leisurely paced to build terror and the film suffers from chasms of broken internal logic-chief among them why would a group of people live in a place that had no defenses, or even a locked door. Its a mess. Despite having flaws it is watchable, though its probably best watched while doing something else (I'm guessing that you'll probably fall asleep if you watch it straight). 4 out of 10
