January 8, 2010Ooh-hoohoo! Most of my male friends refuse to watch this with me. I wonder why. I find something deliciously snarky about the way this story is told: a very clean-cut girl who subscribes to a rather repressive version of contemporary Christianity discovers that she has vagina den...( read more)

November 14, 2009As my friend Chance put it, "Best superhero movie to come out in years." I think I need to watch it another time to get the full effect though.

October 1, 2009I'm a bit disappointed with this film. I thought it was going to be a bit more like a Frank Henenlotter film I suppose. It was quite uneasy viewing really, which shocked me as I like all sorts of weird films that are more graphic and disturbing by far. I guess it was in the way i...( read more)

August 30, 2009Fun for a while...then it's basically, "Yeah I get it. Please no more severed Penises."

February 5, 2010Upon a 2nd viewing, I'm actually scaling back my initial star rating, as this was an interesting watch, but nothing that truly blew my dress up knowing where things are going in the end.
What a fun little film! I was perhaps a little put off by how predictable things felt at tim...( read more) -

February 4, 2010This movie had the X factor I'm looking for in movies these days. It was quite freaky, weird, twisted and maybe a little bit disturbing. Watching this was really refreshing compared to most of typical "horror" movies, since thisone actually was a bit scary in a way, mostly unique...( read more)

January 25, 2010Interesting, but never decided if it was drama or horror.
I mean, the problem with movies that use fantasy/horror as a metaphor is that you have to be a very good director to pull it off. Otherwise, it just gets completely in-your-face (as in "hello, I'm a metaphor") and it just ...( read more) -

There's no scarier myth for males, and [director] Lichtenstein turns various images of emasculation into a black comedy that flirts, fairly tediously, with pornography. full review

The picture is unfocused and indistinct; there's a noncommittal quality to the filmmaking. Teeth hinges on one strong idea but doesn't know quite where to take it, wobbling awkwardly between going for... full review

Any movie about a girl with an actual vagina dentata had better be either very scary or very funny --- or, preferably, both. Unfortunately, "Teeth" can't decide what it wants to be. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
In Teeth, Mitchell Lichtenstein makes the old v.d. the centerpiece of a gory female-revenge black comedy. full review

August 9, 2008Pretty bad movie, the 2 or 3 gory scenes don't save this puppy from drowning...lol don't watch it.. ;-)

June 19, 2008Sorry to shoot down your (admittedly weak) argument here, but it can't really be described as clever or original... There was a japanese movie that came out in 2005 called "sexual parasite" which was incredibly similar to this one... Also, once the film gets it's "hard hitting" material in, it seems to just repeat this over and over again rather than thinking of something fresh to capture audience's attention. Poor at best.

May 7, 2008I'm surprised to see so many mediocre reviews!
This movie is hilarious and damn brilliant! You gotta watch it with the right state of mind I guess... or perhaps you need to get your head out of your puritan ass and appreciate something that actually has originality in a period where all new movies are either remakes, sequals or fucking prequals ;)
THIS MOVIE RULES! 9/10 !!! -
February 15, 2008I did like the second half of the film because it drags in the beginning & the dialog don't seems to be that interesting.Once the movie gets to the twisted & perverse side of the tale of Dawn who have a vagina that has teeth which castrates men during sex then it becomes interesting.This is the type of film that will make you laugh & squirm at the same time.Original,provocative,wicked & gruesome film with a touch of humor.

December 25, 2007High school student Dawn works hard at suppressing her budding sexuality by being the local chastity group's most active participant. Her task is made even more difficult by her bad boy stepbrother Brad's increasingly provocative behavior at home. A stranger to her own body, innocent Dawn discovers she has a toothed vagina when she becomes the object of violence. As she struggles to comprehend her anatomical uniqueness, Dawn experiences both the pitfalls and the power of being a living example of the vagina dentata myth.
