This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

let me start by saying that if oil is to run out in 2012 i promise, promise not to call myself something retarded like badger or python and dress like a retarded caveman! The cast of this movie however were unable to make the same assurances.. there is an actor in this film called kevin e scott, his career has spanned 10 years and consisted of 3 small movie roles, it is clear why after seeing this. At times he appears to have been drugged as he is mumbling completely unaware that he is in a movie or that movies even exist. Is it possible to trick somebody into being an actor without them realising? even when he is being slaughter by a retard caveman he hardly even snapped out of his rubbish acting induced coma, they should have smashed that cleaver into his head for real cos nobody would even realise he was gone and those that did clearly would have rejoiced. The actors didn't even seem to care they were being murdered one by one it was truly the biggest amount of garbage i have ever seen!!! p.s i don't think its acceptable to elect a leader as the intelligent one purely because he wears spectacles, the vinnie jones laughing scene was pathetic too. i would rather rub one out in front of my parents then watch this again!! enjoy

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.

The time: the immediate near future. Society has fallen apart as the direct result of a sudden and unexpected gas shortage. A ragtag group of survivors led by the wise and kindly Professor Darwin (an excellent performance by Robert Carradine) seek refuge in an empty and abandoned hospital. Said group find themselves in considerable peril when a deadly band of savage nocturnal cannibals called Rovers attack the place on a nightly basis and pick them off one at a time. Writer/director Mark Young depicts a plausibly bleak and brutal vision of the future that might be right around the corner. Moreover, Young relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, builds a strong sense of dread and plenty of nerve-wracking tension (the Rovers' attacks on the survivors are quite vicious and horrifying), maintains a properly bleak and desolate tone throughout, and further spices things up with a few nice lashings of gore (gruesome highlights include a bloody throat slicing, a meat cleaver in the head, and an especially nasty acid facial). Better still, there's no silly obtrusive humor to detract from the severity of the harsh survival-of-the-fittest premise. In fact, the plot makes a potent and provocative central point about the fine line between civilized beings and wild barbarians. The sterling acting from a sturdy cast helps matters a whole lot: Rachel Miner as the spunky, resourceful Neon, Rider Strong as the mean, selfish Ford, Nicole DuPort as the humane and sensible, yet tough and resilient Dakota, Michael Kelly as the surly, malcontent Viper, Alexandra Barreto as Ford's timid girlfriend Torino, Emily Catherine Young as the mute, fragile Nova, Michael Madsen as the calmly malevolent Jackal, and Vinnie Jones as the feral Mongrel. Gregg Easterbrook's shadowy, prowling cinematography makes the most out of the dark and claustrophobic setting. Elia Cmiral's shivery, rattling, hard-rocking score likewise hits the bull's eye. A solid and satisfying movie.

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
