Qua komedie valt er dus weinig te lachen. Veel kale figuren die allemaal vaak grappig willen zijn, maar dit eigenlijk gewoon helemaal niet zijn. Weixler probeert uit alle macht een leuk hoofdpersonage te zijn maar trekt in het proces te vaak een vreemd gezicht en schiet volledig in standje overacting. Lichtenstein gaat namelijk vooral kinderachtig te werk en laat de film nogal filmisch aanvoelen in plaats van echt effectief.Īcteerwerk is in ieder geval ver ondermaats. Ik zie er wel de lol van in, maar niet in de manier hoe de film het afschildert. Dit is eigenlijk de grootste middelvinger die je aan rapeculture kan geven. Teeth is een ongemakkelijke film die nogal edgy te werk gaat qua concept. Toch wel jammer voor een duidelijke horrorkomedie. Jammer alleen dat dit verder het enige echt grappige moment was van Teeth. Dit is precies de soort opening die op de dag van vandaag veel boze Tweets op zou leveren, maar ik kan er nog steeds om lachen. Three severed penises out of ten.Toch moet ik zeggen dat ik stiekem moest lachen om de opening. It’s biggest redeeming factor is that is isn’t based on a true story. Really, it just wasn’t enjoyable under any circumstances. However, for a horror comedy, I did not find this film funny nor scary. If you are into stupid, disgusting films, this could be the one for you. Eventually, our protagonist goes from sheltered church-goer to murderous temptress, and even feeds a penis to a dog! Gross, huh? Perhaps we are meant to laugh at the misfortune of the de-penising victims. In addition, themes of incest are typically not conducive to humor and thus I really have no idea where the “comedy” portion of the film is supposed to come from. It is incredibly predictable and boring up until the point where a bloodied, severed penis appears on screen (which occurs multiple times), resulting in gags among viewers. The acting is quite bland and multiple characters are completely stereotypical (most of the men that fall victim to the toothed vagina). It was ultimately a bad idea and I feel like my life would be better if I had not seen this movie. It has been mentioned, usually with cringes, throughout my group of friends multiple times, and I decided I’d try to give it a chance. Teeth has grown infamous in pop culture simply due to the concept of toothed vagina. Also, the main actress isn’t terrible looking? There was a disgusting but perhaps mildly satisfying conclusion? I don’t know, I’m really trying here guys! I suppose it is an interesting concept that hasn’t really been touched on in film before, but I’m not sure if it is a concept that can ever be done successfully. There wasn’t too much I enjoyed about this viewing experience. I apologize in advance if this section is a bit dull. This film, despite being a “comedy horror”, was quite disturbing (if not simply for the severed penises shown on screen) and the only reason I have written this review is due to the pressure of my fellow Film Freaks. As the movie progresses, Dawn discovers her abnormality, falls into denial, proceeds to acceptance, and then turns her abomination of genitalia into a murderous weapon. Being relatively sheltered and seemingly innocent, she has not discovered this at the beginning of the movie, save for a small foreshadowing involving an incident between herself and her brother when they were very young (yeah, you can see where this is going). Jess Weixler plays Dawn O’Keefe, an active member of a Christian abstinence group with… ahem, teeth in her vagina. Well, this is an interesting one, for lack of a better word.
