Movie Story


High school student Dawn works hard at suppressing her budding sexuality by being the local chastity group's most active participant. Her taks is made even more difficult by her bad boy stepbrother Brad's increasingly provocative behavior at home. A stranger to her own body, innocent Dawn discovers she has a toothed vagina when she becomes the object of violence. As she struggles to comprehend her anatomical uniqueness, Dawn experiences both the pitfalls and the power of being a living example of the vagina dentata myth.

If it hadn't been for the ridiculous attention-grabbing premise, I would have never watched this independent gem. TEETH is a surprisingly well-made movie not only because of the camerawork and acting, but the perfect blend of horror and humor. The movie doesn't take itself so seriously as to allow people to make fun of it, but it is beautifully laden with shock and drama. An outstanding, venturous feat -- a very, very good movie!
