    The plot is certainly unique in this very unusual film that is darkly funny. It is not for all tastes, but is well paced and it certainly can be entertaining. Well acted.

    When I watched the trailer I really thought this could be a good movie because of its original content. But the humor and drama don't hold up well over the poor pacing and unreasonable direction it takes. The main character is pretty but seriously, no man seems to be able to cross her path without wanting to rape her?

    Concerning Dawn's killer vagina, the filmmaker had two choices. The vagina could either be in tune with Dawn's mind, or a rogue element in the girl's body that tunes her out. The filmmaker decided that a telepathic vagina, rather than an impervious vagina, better served his story. When Dawn(Jess Weixler) senses trouble, her "p****" throws a hissy fit and acts on the girl�39;s behalf. The men get what they deserve. Their advances are either non-consensual(to be frank, it's rape), or duplicitous. But what if Dawn actually fell in love, and wanted to express her love physically? Now that's one vagina monologue I'd love to hear; a plea to her vagina that it grant passage to a benevolent, albeit "angry" penis. Ryan(Ashley Springer) looks like he's in love with Dawn, but inexplicably, the film turns him into a rapist. This awkward tonal shift clumsily introduces the truth about Dawn's vagina. If "Teeth" had a brain, and more importantly, a heart and soul, it actually had the makings of an "Edward Scissorshands" for girls. Expand

    A totally original very, very black comedy. Yes, it does hit a lot of genres, but does so in a charming and entertaining manner.

    This movie is surprisingly witty. I'm not sure if its scarier, or funnier, but the combination makes for an outstanding take on a very strange topic.

    Brilliant film if you can make it through (four people at my screening walked out). It's way underrated. It will stand the test of time as a cult classic. Great suspense, performances (especially the lead), *extremely* funny, disturbing - just all around great. I'm very disappointed in the critics for being too squeamish to look past the severed penises.

    Surprising! The whole affair was satyrical, acted well, and gory. It reminds me fiercely of the Kill Bill series (actress, gore and such). But the real spark in Teeth is the wonderful heroine/villain. Just out there, full of ideas. The directing could have been improved, but I still adore this album.

    Best film I saw at Sundance 2007. I saw it at a press and industry screening and even that audience hooted , hollard and loved it.

    Schlocky and occasionally hilarious film. The lead actress gives a terrifically sensitive and assured performance in what must have been an extremely difficult role. An interesting mash up of genres. Director shows real promise in presenting something so original. A very well done B movie. I agree that it has definite cult classic potential.

    Complete and utter misandrist filth. I'd just love to see the reaction of those who praise TEETH if, instead, someone had introduced a film in which the male protagonist destroyed women's genitalia. Is our societal hatred of men actually reached the level that this is the next logical step?

    I don't why reviewers have been singing this film undue praise. This film is like Lorena Bobbitt's wet dream. Movies like this should be banned. The only people who would miss sexual mutilation in movies are sick psychos. Would you promote a movie where the protagonist was a man who went around destroying women's vaginas? I think it's a red flag that our society has become ridiculously misandric when an entire film is dedicated to destroying the body part that defines men as men. I've also never heard of a horror in which all the victims are one gender. I smell a hate crime. I bet all the victims are white too. Of course if all the victims weren't white males, it would be viewed as a hate crime. I hate being a white man, because few sympathize with us for the racist sexist hatred and psychological rape we have to endure. It seems that people actually endorse this. A friend of mine told me that one of the victims in the movie isn't even a rapist, he just tells about his consentual encounter with her, then she punishes him the worst way for that. Anyone who finds this film amusing (especially women) are doing Satan's work. He's the only one who could rejoice at sexual mutilation. Those that support this tripe, will have only themselves to blame when it starts to show women being treated in the same way in movies. After all, people are going to get tired of seeing the same thing over and over again. Speaking of which, isn't this film a little redundant? Castration over and over again... *throws up* That's the one thing I never want to see in a movie, and now a whole movie is dedicated to it. Expand

    One of the achievements of this movie is to present the audience with a question: When does a man deserve to have his genitalia violently removed? The answer is easy to come by since the writer neglects to include any positive male roles in the film. As the hero gets used to her newfound power, the audience is prompted to laugh (in horror, but laughter nonetheless) when she performs a spontaneous penectomy on a high school kid, simply because she regretted having had sex with him. I challenge someone to make a movie like this where the roles are reversed, where a man runs around mutilating women's genitalia for reasons ranging from serious to completely frivolous. I doubt anyone could accept the mutilator as the protagonist, as was the case in this movie. In terms of technique, the movie was well done, but the unabashed man-hating gets a little old. Expand

    Like a deranged version of "Clueless," the film is light-hearted, yet subversive, displaying a surprisingly wicked bite…literally.

    This is going to be a notorious film that young audiences will be daring themselves to see, but it's actually funnier, darker and more troubling before it turns into a carnival of repeated dismemberment.
  3. The most alarming cautionary tale for men with wandering libidos since "Fatal Attraction." It may also be the first horror movie that women drag men to see rather than the reverse.
