Don't listen to the negative reviews

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

When the world ran out gas, sooner the reserves of supply finished; without power to move machines, preserve and transport food and control the environment, came chaos and anarchy. In the post-apocalyptic Philadelphia, nine survivors led by Professor Darwin (Robert Carradine) live in an abandoned hospital sharing their supplies. When they find a young woman being attacked, they rescue her and bring her to their community. She introduces herself as Neon (Rachel Miner) and is welcomed by Darwin. But sooner they are attacked by violent strangers named Rovers; Darwin vanishes and Neon explains that they are cannibals. The survivors split and during the night, they have to fight to survive."Tooth & Nail" is a dark movie about a post-apocalyptic society where the stronger survive. The forgettable story is violent and entertains. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Os Encurralados" ("The Trapped Ones")

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

Normally when I sit down to watch a movie with cannibals, it is one of the video nasties that were banned in Britain in the 80s. Here, we have a new movie, one of The 8 Films To Die For, that features this touchy subject.It is a post-apocalyptic world. We ran out of gas, and we are trying to survive. Things seem nice at a local hospital where a group has managed to survive for a year. Sure, there's some conflict between The Professor (Robert Carradine) and Viper (Michael Kelly), and people are nervous when a new girl (Rachel Miner) appears, but they are trying to make do.Things soon go to hell when Jackal (Michael Madsen) appears with an axe, and blood starts flowing copiously. Soon Darwin (Carradine) is gone, then another. Soon Neon (Miner) comes clean about the Rovers.Soon it is only the women who are left to fend for themselves: Neon, Dakota (Nicole DuPort), Torino (Alexandra Barreto), and Nova (Emily Catherine Young). One's a child, and apparently autistic.Then things get interesting. We meet the creepy cannibals and one is filing points on his teeth.Unfortunately, things do get predictable from here on out. A traitor and a surprise appearance. And things get a little silly at the end.It was nice gore when pointy teeth got his. Unfortunately the modern cannibals roast their humans instead of the video nasty way.

Tooth and Nail is yet another film handling the idea of the majority of the population being killed off and the rest living in a barren wasteland. There are plenty of these films about, and most of them are better than this one as Mark Young's film adds nothing new to the concept and as such is really disappointing. The film does actually benefit from a very well done atmosphere - most of it takes place at night and the director constantly enforces the idea that the central characters are in a hopeless situation. However, the good things about it end there. As mentioned, the film takes place in the future and we focus on a group of people (lead by a college professor) that have holed up in an old abandoned hospital. Of course they plan to rebuild civilisation from the ground up; but their plan hits a stumbling block when they come across another gang of survivors. This gang calls themselves 'The Rovers' and just happen to be cannibals. Naturally, our group find themselves on the menu and have to fight to survive.Mark Young's screenplay is really weak. The characters are all non-entities and many lines of dialogue are awful, which doesn't exactly help. The film does not feature even nearly enough tension or suspense and spends far too much time focusing on bickering within the central group; which is at times painful since none of the lead actors can act. Even when the film does start to feature a bit more action; it's not well filmed or exciting. Most of the cast is made up of unknown performers, but there are three exceptions, in the form of Robert Carradine, Vinnie Jones and Michael Madsen; who have small and rather ineffective roles. There are a few gory scenes in the film, but nothing to write home about. It's really a shame that the film turned out like this as while there are a lot of post-apocalyptic films about; this type of film can be really well done if handled correctly. The ending is fairly good and the little twist at the end is nice; but overall this is not good horror and represents yet another underwhelming entry in Afterdark's '8 Films to Die For' collection.
