Synopsis:

High school student Dawn (Jess Weixler) works hard at suppressing her budding sexuality by being the local chastity group's most active participant.  Preaching abstinence at school and church to the youth of today, Dawn struggles to be a good girl.  When a situation arises that forces Dawn's sex drive into action, she discovers there is something in her vagina that has teeth and can bite at anything inside it!  As a living testament to the vagina dentata myth, Dawn soon questions whether this is a curse or a weapon that has been given to her.

The Freak's Rating: D- : Teeth is one of the weirdest concepts for a movie I've heard of in recent memory.  After hearing a few critics I trust say it was a gem at Sundance and an indie hit that might make waves on DVD, I figured I'd give it a shot.  After the first penis was cut off, I started to reconsider.

The major flaw with Teeth is that it fails to define itself as either a horror movie or a comedy.  At times disgusting, Teeth is borderline a shock and awe picture.  However, some lines in the script are so tongue in cheek that you know it must be trying to make you laugh.  So is it a comedy or a horror picture?  By not specifying a genre, it fails at both.  I felt uncomfortable laughing and grossed out at the same time.

Acting is mediocre at best, the script is poorly written and the style of filmmaking is completely amateur.  The only points this one scores are from the lead actress, who mildly pulls off her role.  Skip this one though and wait for her next role...if she has one.

Jen's Rating: F : My first F!  This movie was horrible.  It was weird, gross, flat and I couldn't have cared less about the characters.  There were so many parts that just didn't make sense.  Consider my palette squeaky clean.
