TEETH
Teeth is a film that was traveling the indie film festivals last year and never had a national theater release, so it does not have a Box Office number. Though Jess Weixler, the lead actress, won the Special Jury prize for Dramatic Performance at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007, a reward she well deserved.
The plot, if you don't follow the Independent Film circles is this; Dawn is a special girl, she is the most active member of her and her friends Chaste Club, though when a new boy comes to town she begins having impure thoughts. When these two young teenagers go out for a swim, things move to far for Dawn and thats when she discovers her Vagina Dentata. Dawn then tries to understand, cope with, and eventually enjoy her unique vaginal teeth.
The movie is quite honestly great. It's unique, well preformed, and masterfly combines aspects of dark comedy with actual horror. The woman playing Dawn, Jess Weixler is great in this role, and I do hope to see her move swiftly into some mainstream work, she is simply great to watch on screen.
A lot of this movie is about sex, obviously, and abstinence. There is a scene that is truly creepy as Dawn comes to speak at an abstinence seminar where all the children spout in unison quotes from the bible.
I think the true message of this movie is; if you're going to have sex... Make sure it's safe.
