"Teeth" Movie Review


This movie was a disappointment. I know what this was film was attempting to imitate however it seemed like a legit horror film at first turning into a campy horror film after a while. Cheesy lines, weird acting, and crazy scenes with dicks or fingers being bitten off. I was hoping that it would have taken this classic horror genre and ran with it. The Black Comedy Horror genre has been lacking in the past few years and new cult classics need to be created.

The plot was all over the place and changed multiple times. I'm not quite sure what the goal of this film was and I was constantly questioning what was real or fake towards the last half of the film. Cuts became jumpy and the story flashed all over the place. One moment shes a clueless girl and next she harnesses her power of biting guys dicks off and takes out her brother who apparently would rather fuck some girl in the ass than save his mom who is passed out in the living room. The writer needed to set up the brothers intentions way earlier in the film. It was a shock when he sicked the dog on his dad and told him that he loved his sister.

There were too many plot holes to get wrapped into this film the way I can get wrapped into Ghoulies, Gremlins, or Critters (some of the classic comedy horror films). So many of the scenes could have been redone or rearranged and this film would have been a gem. However as it stands I was not impressed.

Watch if you are interesed in the material and would like to see a bunch of dudes get their dicks bit off. However if you want a comedy horror film I would turn to some of the classics and hope that someone can achieve that quality in the near future.
