"Teeth"

Meh.
The story was way to predictible, although I thought that Jess Weixler turned in a great performance. The scenes with the nuclear plant in the background were only amusing the first 5 or 6 times. The first "ring" meeting was also great, but the second fell on its face.
I don't want to give to much away, but I enjoyed this enough for a single viewing and had no interest in seeing it again. I did not expect that to be the case.

Just watched this... it was cheesy in parts, but I think purposely so for comedy. I liked it enough to recommend for a few laughs, and some really fucked up nasty scenes. I honestly can't believe some of the shit from this movie could be shown while still being R rated, versus NC-17 or whatever... I actually had to turn my head away a couple times.

This is definitely a concept film, and not much more. Great idea, great setup, horrific and amateurish execution. For a 90 minute film, it just drags on forever. I called the finish literally 10 minutes into the movie. For the subject matter, it should have been way funnier/more ghastly. Instead, it's just boring. Skip it.

I just got my review copy...what a bummer. It had a get premise but was just so damn boring. Only a few times does the inner Graboid bite. The DVD is actually fairly loaded with commentary and deleted scenes though.

I knew I'd find a few great lines after a couple people finally got a chance to see it.

To those that bought the DVD....is their disc art similar to mine?

I'm looking to sell mine and I am not sure if its just my copy (as I got it early) but as the picture above shows, on the disc art there is a silhouette of "Teeth" as well as a picture of the leading lady. It appears it is not colored in...but I don't know if this is on purpose or not.

I got it as a review copy directly from Dimension (well, Paramount I guess) 2 weeks ago. I am asking if anyone else's copy looks like mine, or if its unique (or a factory error).

If any of you all really dig Teeth be sure to track down the original: Killer Pussy (renamed Sexual Parasite for US distribution).
It's hysterically bad!!

watched this over the weekend and "enjoyed" it. And by enjoyed I mean i was constantly crouched over in pain. I liked the humor in the film, especially scenes with the rings, or them trying to choose what movie to see. The main girl did a great job with the transition between innocent virgin to manhood ender. I have a feeling that this is the type of movie where the sequel can be a lot of fun now that they have set up the characters origins.

I don't understand how people here can call this film 'boring' without explanation...how could a premise so original be labeled a bore?
