Summertime Chills: Teeth
Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at 9:34AM Robert G from Sketchy Details here with a look at a bizarre and refreshing horror film for those hot summer days.
I just have to ask: can't we get just one horror film where a trip to a large body of water doesn't spell disaster? Whether it's shark attacks, masked killers, or ancient monsters from the deep, water in a summer horror film is a bad thing. The younger the characters are, the more diastrous the events will be
Teeth is not an exception to this rule. The strange horror/dark comedy hybrid follows the story of Dawn, a high school abstinence advocate opening herself up for the first time to relationships. She meets a nice boy named Tobey who seems different from the rest. He's kind, sweet, and is not pressuring Dawn to do anything she doesn't want to do.
Of course they wind up in a big body of water. How could late summer fun like this turn bad?
Easy.
