Teeth (2007). Shying away from the lure of the cliché, Teeth was an original horror comedy whose premise will undoubtedly be appreciated wholeheartedly different by each of the sexes. The story wavered perfectly between genres, leaving those who must be able to pin a movie down a little discombobulated. A difficult subject to put on film, it toed the line such that it was graphic, bold, but not exploitative. Relative newcomer Jess Weixler gave an amazing performance given this was a horror comedy. The humor was witty and biting (sorry), but never threatened to take over the whole of the movie. Though a tad predictable at times, this never seemed to be detract from the story. The direction and camera work were competent enough, but the most attractive feature of this flick was found in its ineffable subtlety. Late.
