The film's tone oscillates between tension and dark humor, with a palpable atmosphere that creeps up on you. Michael, our lead, is relatable—his stress over exams and summer plans is something we can all connect with, but when that tooth breaks, the real nightmare begins. The practical effects used for the Toothkeeper are standout, giving the creature an unsettling presence that feels all too real. Pacing is a bit uneven at times, but the emotional stakes build nicely as secrets unravel. It’s definitely a unique take on folk horror, playing with childhood fears and adult pressures.
