Teeth

About This Movie

Teeth is this bizarre blend of dark comedy and horror, that channels a really unique blend of teenage angst and body horror. The tone is unsettling, yet oddly humorous at times, and it dives into some heavy themes around sexuality and empowerment, all wrapped up in this absurd premise. The pacing might feel a bit uneven, but it keeps you on your toes, especially as the practical effects reveal themselves in some rather shocking moments. Jess Weixler's performance as Dawn is both innocent and fierce, bringing a layer of complexity to her character. What really sets this film apart is its exploration of the vagina dentata myth, making it a conversation starter. It’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely a memorable watch.
