Tooth And Nail
MICHAEL MADSEN AND VINNIE JONES GET A TASTE FOR HUMAN FLESH
Written and directed by Mark Young (Southern Gothic) and starring Nicole DuPort (Southern Gothic), Rider Strong (Borderland; Cabin Fever), Rachel Miner (Californication), Robert Carradine (Hoboken Hollow; Ghosts Of Mars), Michael Madsen (Sin City), Vinnie Jones (X-Men: The Last Stand) and Michael Kelly (Changeling), the post-apocalyptic shocker TOOTH AND NAIL presents a nightmare vision of a near-future Earth where cannibalism has become second nature to humans.
The year is 2012 and the world’s fuel provisions have finally run dry, starting panic-fuelled anarchy and a total collapse of civilization. In an deserted hospital on the outskirts of Philadelphia, a small group of survivors of the resulting bedlam have taken sanctuary, hoping one day to rebuild some semblance of a society. While exploring the nearby streets for any supplies they can find, they discover a severely beaten girl (Miner) and take her back to the hospital to look after her. It is only later that they discover they’ve been followed by a savage band of cannibals called Rovers, led by the sadistic Jackal (Madsen). Every day, the Rovers launch an attack on the hospital, taking out the still-civilized survivors one at a time in order to maintain a constant supply of fresh human meat. As their numbers begin to dwindle rapidly, those will some sense of humanity left are forced to make a choice between running and hiding or standing their ground and fighting tooth and nail.
