Teeth (2007/Dimension Extreme DVD)

 

Picture: C+     Sound: C     Extras: B-     Film: C+

 

 

When you enter a film anticipating something over the top and getting something that for the majority of the film is very placid and calm, it’s inevitable that you’ll be disappointed with the end result.  Teeth is a film I’ve been waiting for for a while, so when I finally got my hands on it I was damn excited, but found myself underwhelmed with the end result.

 

Teeth tells the story of a girl who has teeth in her vagina, also known as vagina dentata.  She’s a good Christian girl at first, but based on the premise of the film, you know that’s all going to go away very shortly and she learns to use her super-womanhood to fight the evil man oppressors, since clearly every man in the world is a sexual predator. 

 

Where the film succeeds is in making this girl relatable and desirable despite her origins as a super-Christian anti-sex good girl and transforming her into a woman on a mission.  Where the film fails, however, is largely in the pacing of the film.  It starts off rather slowly and is expected to do a sudden turn-around into a world where all hell has broken loose and this set of vagina dentata has begun wreaking havoc on unsuspecting men, but really nothing all that extreme occurs and the end result is rather flaccid (no pun intended).

 

The film’s transfer leaves something to be desired, failing to establish scenery that could have been incredibly vivid and beautiful, but instead delivering a picture that’s passable at best.  I have no complaints with the sound, but it doesn’t take any real wizardry to make a film sound good enough.  Extras are decent, but don’t add all that much to the release to boost a need for this purchase.  Save this for a rental because it’s worth a watch if for no other reason than to see an interesting experiment into a really scary subject for any guy out there.
