Teeth

Here is a little movie you may have missed - a horror movie to terrify the guys.

Teeth

WATCH: Teeth (2007) – “When virtuous high school student Dawn (Jess Weixler) becomes the victim of a sexual assault, she discovers that she has an unexpected line of defense: a toothed vagina. But for Dawn, coming to terms with the power and dangers of her anatomical anomaly may be easier said than done. Director Mitchell Lichtenstein’s provocative feminist horror flick also stars John Hensley, Hale Appleman and Josh Pais.”

Mitchell Lichtenstein wrote, directed, and produced this hysterical horror comedy so he certainly deserves almost all the credit. The cast is quite good and Jess Weixler projects a wonderful sense of naivete. The film skewers horny teenagers (well men in general actually) as well as the only teach abstinence crowd. One of the funniest parts in the movie is a low-key scene in a classroom that is drawn straight from real life. There is also a neat running joke involving the twin stacks of a nuclear reactor. Even if it doesn’t cause you to think about its overall message, the movie can be enjoyed just for laughs. Warning the film does contain sexual scenes of a disturbing nature and a rape sequence – odd but necessary given the nature of this feminist parable.
