Teeth: "Still a stranger to her own body, a high school student discovers she has a physical advantage when she becomes the object of male violence."
I had the privilege of screening this movie with some buddies of mine last night and thought it sorta left me speechless, I feel like I have a duty to tell you people about how great it is.
In this movie, Jess Weixler (whose IMDB says she lives in Carroll Gardens Brooklyn and has her bday 2 days away from mine omg!) plays Dawn - a woman with teeth in her vagina. AND SHE PLAYS IT WITH REALISM! How anyone can seriously tackle this and make it believable amazes me!
This movie has an emotional core. How the hell they managed that is beyond me.
It does have "B movie" qualities, and some ridiculous, hilarious lines - some favorites:
"I haven't jerked off since Easter!"
and
"I love you. I love your butt."
The movie is chock full of you tube clip material.
There's plenty of hilarious/gross/shocking gore too.
I think it's going to be underappreciated by critics- but I think there's something so brilliant about the fact that these filmmakers and writers were like - fuck yeah we are gonna make a movie about a vagina with teeth, and it's gonna be awesome. There's total commitment here in carrying out the concept. And while I wasn't satisfied with the ending entirely, at least it said something. One other thing people might find annoying is how most men in the movie are bad guys. My friend Evan said she's like a super hero - but I won't explain why cause I want you to see for yourself.
Either way, this is a new favorite movie. I could watch this again and again just to see how other people react. It's going to be so funny in theatres. It definitely definitely leaves you screaming on the edge of your seat.
