Tooth And Nail (2007)

In the very near future, petroleum resources are depleted and the world is thrown in to anarchy. A small group of survivors known as Foragers, led by the Professor (Robert Carradine), are holed up in a hospital in Philadelphia. On the outside are a group of cannibals, known as Rovers, that includes Michael Madsen (looking like a member of heavy metal band Manowar) and Vinnie Jones (looking like Brian Eno in Roxy Music). When the Rovers decide the hospital looks like a good place to eat, the Foragers have to stop fighting amongst themselves if they want to survive.

Slow moving, not as clever as A Boy And His Dog, or as entertaining as Doomsday. A couple of strong female characters is all this film has going for it, and that is not enough.

Forager - People don’t eat other people.
Rover - We do.
