Teeth

Everything you think about Teeth after you’ve seen the trailer is right, but somehow I think you’ve still got it wrong. I had it all wrong, so I’m not calling you out. Teeth is ridiculous, sensational and gory yet it is really well crafted and not exploitative. If you can get over how upset you think you are and just want to have fun at a creepy movie that pays tribute to the classic horror genre while never slipping into “camp” then you may be lucky enough to have Teeth show up at a theater near you. If that doesn’t happen then in a few months you can have Netflix deliver it in a non-distinct envelope and no one will have to know that you watched it. Harry brought us this film that was made locally and let us have a Q&A with the director. The most interesting point he made is that at no point did he want to show the lead character’s affliction — he didn’t even want to show her bloody since he felt that her character’s journey was not about being a monster but more about finding a hidden “hero” power. I thought it was well worth the price…but I did get to see it for free.
