RELEASED IN 2007 and written & directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein, "Teeth" concerns a teen girl (Jess Weixler) who leads an abstinence group at her church. While dating she horrifyingly learns of a unique feature. Meanwhile, her wicked stepbrother is getting out of hand (John Hensley). Hale Appleman and Ashley Springer play guys interested in her while Josh Pais appears as her gynecologist. Lenny von Dohlen is on hand as the stepfather. This is a coming-of-age movie mixed with horror, akin to "The Rage: Carrie 2" (1999). It's professionally-made and dramatically compelling with some good stuff on the soundtrack, like "You Did" by Chuck Prophet (which runs during the credits) and a few snippets of Immortal Dominion songs. Gore fans should be happy, but IMHO they shoulda toned it down because few viewers want to see someone's Captain Winky cut off. If you can handle that, there's a lot of good here, even greatness. The movie reflects reality despite some surreal elements, amusing black humor and the horrific mythos. Examples of what I mean include: The two (step) siblings who take contrary paths, father/son rivalry, the moral response to sexual relations (save yourself for marriage or indulge?), the positive (or negative) influence of religion and the ritualistic/group-think spirit thereof, not to mention turning a supposedly negative quality into a positive.Weixler kicks axx in the challenging role of the protagonist and is just an all-around beautiful woman. Cutie Laila Liliana Garro (as Julia Garro) has a peripheral role. THE FILM RUNS 1 hours & 34 minutes and was shot in Austin, Texas. GRADE: A-

This is the funniest sh*t I've seen in a while. It starts off as some kooky Brady Bunch type of neighborhood with a blended family and within 2 minutes of the movie someones finger is pricked, drawing blood, by a vagina with teeth. The gynecologist was like "...Relax, Just breath, breath thru the pain" and then SNAP!, her vagina bit off 4 of the perverts fingers. When her step brother's pit bull (Mother) chewed up his penis I died. This will definitely be a cult classic. I wonder if someone somewhere in this weird world has a vagina with teeth or a penis with snake venom. The ending was weird. Did she bite the old mans penis off? Did she ever find a cure? So many questions. I think there are 2 morals of the story. 1. No Means No and 2. Don't be a Dick or it will be bitten off with a Vagina. Oh and make sure you read the discussion threads on this movie. It's some of the funniest commentary on IMDb.

After a series of strange incidents with her boyfriend and other men around town, a teen believes she has contracted a strange, mythical condition in her body and tries to find a way to keep it under control until she can live a normal life.This one was quite possibly one of the worst horror efforts released. Among the many flaws here is the film's rather challenging nature here, mainly because it's not a horror film and is instead a drama that includes a theme relevant to horror films and men in general. While the act present in the film is quite unnerving, the central premise of being unsure of what to do with it means that instead of pressing it to an advantage and being quite hesitant doesn't equate to an enjoyable time. Since this is coupled together with its intense religious dogma which presents her as a chaste virgin obsessed with the ideal of purity alongside her similarly-minded friends, this leaves the film so dreary, dull and lagging that nothing comes along to give the film any kind of momentum or energy not delving into any kind of action that really makes the condition something to be feared beyond the initial premise. Since each of the encounters come about due to almost raping her yet at the point where it was consensual nothing happened and she openly enjoyed and welcomed it takes out so much of the steam here that it really undoes the argument completely by saying she needs to just let go of her standards and want it to happen to let it occur without incident. This kind of situation really could've had more of an impact happening to a more sexually-active woman and make it more of a truly cautionary take here than what this one offers as it seems to say they deserve it simply for going for a virgin who just happens to have that condition. There's also the fact that this one doesn't have any real point in being labeled as a comedy since the dark, black humor here supposedly comes from seeing more get castrated which results in the only real funny material here as there's no jokes or humorous gags here yet nothing about any of these situations is in the slightest part funny and really lowers this one even further. While these issues hurt this one to the point of not even being a worthwhile horror film, the only positives here come from the graphic aftermath of each castration with the remains of each sniping shown in graphic, unflinching fashion with the spurting stump and disgraced unit all on full display here which leaves this one with rather squirm-inducing scenes in the water-fall and in the bedroom with her boyfriend, and the temptation of the sleazy step-brother closes that storyline nicely. Still, it's more the concept of these scenes meaning the most and the flaws here really sticking out.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Nudity, Graphic Language, Strong Sexual Content and themes and a Rape.

I saw this film with my girlfriends, and I won't lie, at some points it was shockingly hot! I mean, the fact that EVERYBODY wanted to f@ck this young lady was disturbing, cause she is not even thaaat sexy. Even a doctor tried to penetrate her, and I was like, what the f@ck did I just watch? But when she started to rip off all those penises, I envied her, truly and deeply. I thought, OMG, she has more power than the charmed ones. Well, to some of you it'll be just another mediocre movie, to me it was a hidden masterpiece, funny and disgusting enough to make me want to see the end. the acting was not so good, I mean, the script was so challenging, and I'd expect better performances from the actors, but at least they weren't sucky... So if you desire a dark comedy, with amputated men and a little bit of paranoia about religion (whitch I forgot to mention!) watch TEETH.
