TOOTH
AND NAIL-2007-In this sort of twist on post-apocalyptic zombie
cannibal movies, it seems the world ran out of gasoline in 2012 and
civilization collapsed. “The American dream became the American
nightmare” says Darwin (Robert Carradine), the bearded egghead who
leads a small group of survivors with names like Dakota, Ford, Torino
and Yukon in a Philadelphia hospital. He seems very optimistic about
“creating a new life” but the rest (except for a little girl who
doesn't talk) are the usual bickering self obsessed imbeciles. When a
new girl Nova (Emily Catherine Young) arrives things seem to
deteriorate but she has a secret.
Later on Michael Madsen shows up as
Jackal, the leader of The Rovers, a group of cannibalistic nomads.
The twist here I guess is that the flesh eaters are human not
zombies. The dialogue is terrible, the action scenes too dark and
some of gore effects too phony. Vinnie Jones (X MEN:LAST STAND) has a
small role. Director Mark Young made THE KILLING JAR (also with
Madsen) after this. I never saw so many producers on one movie!
Thanks for reading!
