Sabretooth (film)

Sabretooth is a 2002 film directed by James D.R. Hickox. It premiered on the Sci-Fi Channel on November 16, 2002.Using fossilized DNA, a scientist creates a prehistoric saber-toothed tiger. As the fearsome creature is being transported, it breaks free and begins stalking human prey. It first kills two vacationers, then begins to hunt four youth campers. Catherine Viciy (Vanessa Angel) the scientist who created it, and her colleague Anthony Bricklin (John Rhys-Davies), call in Thatcher (David Keith), a Big Game Hunter and Tracker, to find the animal. Although Catherine wants it captured alive, Thatcher wants to kill it. He almost gets a shot on it but comes to find that Catherine unloaded his Rifle. He does manage to kill it but only after it kills her. He tricks it into jumping onto a sharpened sapling. It should be noted that there are two former romances between some of the characters, as Trent and Casey had a romance once and broke up, as did Thatcher and Catherine.
