About This Movie

Tooth is a curious blend of drama and thriller that draws you in with its intimate setting—a father and son dynamic that feels both tender and tense. The film sets a peculiar tone, as the father’s attempts to pull out his son's loose tooth become increasingly fraught with an underlying sense of dread. There’s this eerie atmosphere; the swaying tooth serves as a strange focal point that contrasts with the growing chaos outside. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sit with the father’s anxiety while the stakes subtly rise. It’s the kind of film where practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, heightening the tension without overindulgence.
