There’s something about a toothed vagina that will make every guy cringe and every girl snicker quietly to themselves. And the plot of Teeth can pander to both of these audiences: on the one hand it is a misogynistic tale of man’s worst foe, a vagina that fights back against unwanted intruders and must be destroyed and conquered by the ultimate hero. On the other hand, it can be seen as a heroic tale of female empowerment over an andocentric universe that devalues female sexuality as either prude or sluttish. The film has the potential to play to either of these ideas, or both, very powerfully, but falls far short of either of these goals.
The movie’s protagonist, a young girl committed to saving herself until marriage, is horrified to discover her terrible attribute when the urges of her young, abstinent boyfriend become too much for the both of them to handle. She begins to wonder about her new-age genetic mutations (possibly caused by the two giant smoke stacks behind her quaint suburban dwelling that pour out pollution) and seeks the advice of the trusty internet to answer her questions. She finds that her situation is common in pre-Christian mythology and that she must find a hero to conquer the problem, and searches many available suitors, including her own adopted brother, to try and tame the beast inside her.
In the end, she decides to use the curse, or gift, to her advantage, and help to tame a world soaked in male hyper-sexuality. Teeth is very well-made and filled with talented actors who do their best to ham it up, but falls short of their goal of a smart, campy thriller and end up with a slow and brutal film that makes you squirm uncomfortably. While a novel idea, Teeth can certainly be missed.
O: What did you think of TEETH?
L: Its ok. the girl was good. its mean spirited as fuck. the scene with the dr is ridiculous
O: Yea it doesn’t really seem to go in the direction I thought it would its pretty slow and punctuated with brutal moments
L: Like how we doin with the girl getting raped and molested so many times. like come on. ill just watch last house on the left
O: Haha I know the relationship with her bro and his ass fetish
L: Dude what a fucking stupid movie.
O: It was really well made and a good idea but it didn’t really do it
L: Yeah. fuck teeth.
