Toothache

About This Movie

Toothache is an unsettling horror film that really leans into that dread of losing something vital—like, literally losing your teeth. The pacing is slow but deliberate, which ramps up the tension as Amanda's condition worsens. It pulls you into this nightmarish world where dental decay is just the beginning. The atmosphere is thick with discomfort, and the practical effects used for the tooth loss scenes are surprisingly effective, almost visceral. Not a lot is known about the director, which adds this layer of intrigue. Performances are solid, especially Amanda's descent into madness. It’s this blend of body horror and psychological tension that makes it stand out, leaving you with a lingering sense of unease long after the credits roll.
