Review of Tooth and Nail (2007) by Alex P — 31 Mar 2008

I love a great hidden gem horror flick.

This is not one.

First of all, let's get this out of the way now: There are no Human Butterfly Skeletons in the movie. Nowhere. Which kinda sucks.

But not as much as the script for this movie.

Which is too bad, because the writer/director Mark Young is actually a pretty good director. The dialogue is terrible, but the shot composition is fantastic.

It's a great premise and it starts off okay, but it gets kind of slow, and then the ending BLOWS.

Plus, Michael Madsen is on screen for all of five minutes and Vinnie Jones for even less.

You'd think once the producers secured these actors to play two of the cannibals, the writer would beef up their parts a little. But nope. No dice.

If Mark Young ever directs a horror script written by somebody else, that will be one to watch. Until then, skip it.
