pen wide: ‘Teeth’ has some bite but fails to deliver on…
Seattle Post Intelligencer – Jan 24, 2008
In science class Dawn finds personal significance in a lesson on evolution dealing with spontaneous mutations. The film’s first half contains a series of sharply satirical scenes. ne contrasts Dawn and stepbrother Brad (John Hensley): She rides her bicycle to school accompanied by heavenly choral music while truant Brad takes drugs abuses girls feeds his pit bull and plays with guns while death metal music blares in his devilishly designed bedroomThe turning point takes place when in a deft parody of 1980′s “The Blue Lagoon” an idyllic swim leads to a troublesome tryst. Boyfriend Tobey’s uncontrollable sexual aggression resurrects the fearsome teeth of the title which had been dormant since a childhood assault by Brad that cost him a finger. From here the film loses its bright satire and becomes a tediously predictable vigilante picture. Since nothing makes sense after the lagoon scene it might have been better had the toothy aspect of the film been limited to fantasy sequences The realistic use of such absurdity only drags the movie into a gutter where we the moviegoers have already been taken on too many occasions. Bill White is a Seattle-based arts and entertainment writer.
