Toothache is an intriguing entry in the 2024 Straight 8 scene. It’s got this almost claustrophobic atmosphere that drags you in. The pacing feels deliberate, like it’s teasing out the horror hidden beneath everyday life. The themes of pain and isolation are palpable, almost visceral. What really stands out for me are the practical effects—they have this raw, gritty edge that CGI just can’t replicate. The performances are solid, though the direction feels a bit elusive, leaving you wondering who really shaped this piece. You can sense the passion behind it, even if it’s a little rough around the edges. It’s distinctive, kind of like an underground gem waiting to be unearthed by collectors who appreciate this kind of raw artistry.
