“..Though good for a few laughs, the one-note Teeth is just another trite rape-revenge fantasy, the promise of its fierce premise unfulfilled..”

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!
