February 3, 2009This is why parents need to speak to their kids about sex: to insure that your kid doesn't have monster genitals and think it's normal because they have not been exposed to any proper sexual education. This is also why a hottie twink teenage boy shouldn't try raping his virgin an... ...( read more )

December 19, 2008#34: Teeth
An exhilarating mix of feminist polemic and exploitation, Mitchell Lichtenstein?s black comedy tells the story of an innocent young girl with a set of gnashers in her most private places. Gross and bloody it may be, but there?s a quirky fable about empowerment lurking ... ...( read more ) -
November 20, 2008Well.... that was different. What this black comedy lacks in story and substance it makes up for with pure originality! Vagina Dentata?!? Seriously?!?!? No, and that's the best part. There is tongue firmly in cheek here and the simple story is told with class and a half decent sc... ...( 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

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
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

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.
