Tooth Fairy

About This Movie

Tooth Fairy (2017) offers a gritty take on the classic folklore figure that edges into true horror territory. The film has this unsettling atmosphere, especially in how it builds tension around the rules of the Tooth Fairy – it kind of reminds you that not everything is as innocent as it seems. The pacing has its dips, but when it hits hard, it really leans into the dread. Practical effects do a decent job of creating some creepy visuals, which adds to that grim fairy tale vibe. Performances feel a bit uneven, but the boy's journey from greed to horror is compelling enough to keep you engaged. It’s a curious blend of childhood fantasy turned nightmare, which gives it a twist that stands out in the horror genre.
