Teeth (2007)

Teeth (2007)

Dawn was a spokesperson for a Christian group. during one of their gatherings, she met with Tobey whom she found attractive. secretly they met beside a pond in the forest. they swam into the cave nearby and started making out. feeling uncomfortable, Dawn tried to convinced Tobey to head back. but Tobey became aggressive and wanted to rape her. Dawn fought back with all her might and upon inserting his part into her, it got bit off instead. horrified, she fled. she researched on her situation and realized she had "vagina dentata" (toothed vagina), often told as cautionary folktales warning of the danger of sleeping with strange women.

the plot was undeniably original, unused probably for its absurdity and goriness while being difficult to tackle in many angles. the story started out slow, dragging its way until she discovered her "uniqueness" and started transformed from an innocent Christian girl into some bizarre revenge-seeking thing. it was like some black comedy that only the main character was having fun while the rest of us watched in dread. horror wise, the film could do better other than just giving us viewers some halfhearted visuals with the hope of spooking us. hopefully at least those who sleep around could have a food for thought by watching this film, else it really would have given no impact whatsoever.
