Teeth (2007)

DVD Release

Dawn is a special young woman committed to purity and clean living but all of that is about to change when she discovers she’s in possession of “vagina dentata” or…well…teeth in her vagina. As you can imagine, teeth in her vagina can be quite the problem, especially for the men she meets that attempt to force Dawn into sex despite her vow of chastity. Her situation takes a turn for the worse when her mother dies and her bad boy stepbrother allowed it to happen. Can Dawn resist the urge to use the teeth to lash out on those interested in using her budding sexuality for their own personal gain?

Now this film right here’s got it all! A great looking cast of capable actors, an interesting story and more severed penises hitting the floor than scraps in a butcher shop! Is it horror, a black comedy or a tale of female empowerment? Hell, it’s all of the above plus a few more I may have missed. It’s just this wonderful mixture of comedy and horror that really drives home the fear a male oriented society has of strong women and their sexuality.

The acting was spot on, the cinematography was okay, nothing too risqué, and the finale was, simply put, insane. This is really going to hit home with fans looking for edgy, intelligent horror cinema that bucks the current 70s exploitation and remake trend. There’s just nothing like watching well executed, original horror that helps to change the general perception that horror cinema is nothing more than tits, ass and gore.

Color me impressed and entertained. Movies like this really don’t come around often so don’t hesitate to check it out. It’s gonna be a bit hard to convince people that a horror film in which some girl’s pussy bites dicks off is funny but I’ll be damned if this ain’t! Is Dawn a radioactive mutant or is she the living embodiment of womankind’s repressed sexuality struggling to reassert itself? Check it out for yourself and you decide.
