Teeth (2007) – Movie Review
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012 4:37:14 by Musa Afridi
A movie that goes where no other movie has gone before and for good reason, but was it a risk worth taking or is it just another movie that is out to shock rather than entertain?
When it comes to Hollywood, many people think that the successful films are those that stick to the tried and tested formulas and the memorable ones are those films that break the generic trends. However, as with all things there are exceptions and
Teeth is one of them.
Never one to shy away from the bizarre, we thought we would give this R rated, dark humoured film a chance in the hopes of perhaps finding another Zombieland, Saw or Hostel type gem, i.e. a film that glorified violence and gore in a great way.
Sadly, what we got instead was a rather sexist and disturbing flick which left everyone wondering what the scriptwriters were thinking, or rather how intoxicated they were when they came up with the concept and also how many directors said no to the project
before Mitchell Lichtenstein had to take up the director’s helm himself.
To be keep things short, the plot revolves around a teenage girl who has a special ‘adaptation’. What that special adaptation is, well it is best left to the reader to find out for themselves, as not only is it too absurd to repeat but rather indecent as
well.
The film has a 5.7 rating on the popular internet movie review and preview site, IMDB, and surprisingly has been nominated for three awards and won a fair amount as well.
In essence though, the movie is not one we would recommend and the only reason we wrote this review so long after the film was released was so that we could warn others who stumble upon it to stay away from it.
While the idea may sound like a good one and the concept be appealing for its uniqueness and approach to the horror comedy genre it is nothing more than a hollow story with tasteless gore that will leave anyone who watches it wondering why they wasted over
an hour of their life on the film.
