Posted June 12, 200817 yr http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/81/Teeth_poster.JPG/405px-Teeth_poster.JPG Teeth ...Every Rose Has Its Thorns "Writer-director Mitchell Lichtenstein's feature debut is a horror comedy combining elements of atom-age 1950s horror films with mythology and feminist theory. The result is a smart, sassy B-movie satire--funny, gross, and with a high squirm factor. A risky idea that could well have turned into a lower-tier Troma production, TEETH is a unique and surprising creation. Dawn (Jess Weixler) lives the life of a normal suburban teenager, except for the two nuclear reactors looming over her house. A goody two-shoes by any measure, she leads the local chapter of a chastity group, lecturing younger children on saving themselves for marriage. She finds herself stirred in unexpected ways, however, by new member Tobey (Hale Appleman). Dawn lets herself get closer to him than she has to anyone else, but when he rapes her, she discovers---in the most grisly way---that she is a true incarnation of the vagina dentata myth. As Dawn attempts to come to terms with her emerging sexuality and her second set of choppers, more men with bad intentions fall victim to their worst nightmare. Lichtenstein, sometime actor and the son of artist Roy Lichtenstein, reportedly first heard of the vagina dentata myth while studying under Camille Paglia, and his take on it proves to be as frightening (and bloody) as one would expect. As Dawn, Weixler is winning, and watching her transformation from meek to empowered is a blast to watch. A handful of wincingly gory sequences will have horror fans howling, but there are layers to the film for those willing to peel them back. Cult favorite GINGER SNAPS, which examined menstruation as a metaphor for lycanthropy, is an obvious cousin and great candidate for a double feature, but TEETH is completely its own." I saw the trailer for this film in the cinema the other day. It looks very unusual, surreal and just doesn't seem quite right (Probably why I want to watch it). Basically it's about a woman who has Vagina Dentata, a myth where a woman has teeth in her vagina, that is basically vicious and cuts off what goes in... Views?
June 12, 200817 yr From what ive seen, this is a film about a woman who has teeth in her Vay-jay... might watch :P
June 12, 200817 yr Saw a trailer for this.. Looks seriously bizarre, nasty stuff... I can see why people would want to compare it to "Ginger Snaps" in some ways... But, you could also say that it's close in spirit to Stephen King's "Carrie" as well, which dealt with similar themes....
June 13, 200817 yr Saw a trailer for this.. Looks seriously bizarre, nasty stuff... dont know if its really gonna be v bizarre, nasty horror thing or rather something thats gonna be endlessly debated in gender and sexulaity classes till like forever
June 13, 200817 yr The trailer does look weird doesnt it? I was laughing nervously and saying "W...T...F" :lol: I will have to watch it, it looks pretty nasty.
June 13, 200817 yr The trailer does look weird doesnt it? I was laughing nervously and saying "W...T...F" :lol: I will have to watch it, it looks pretty nasty. But its rated R in America rather than NC-17 - and i think i read that was because of the 'sexual nature' (not an out and out porno obv) rather than ultra-violent..think its one to make you think
June 13, 200817 yr Saw this last night.... Was :mellow: good film, might be a few scenes where you might laugh. Some serious scenes and be prepared (guys...) to hold onto something very precious :P
June 13, 200817 yr Author Id say it was bit like Slither and Shaun of the Dead.. So a bit of both... Shaun of the Dead :unsure: That was hilarious... this just doesn't... look it :lol:
