Teeth is a horror-comedy movie released in 2007, directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein. The film revolves around Dawn O'Keefe, a teenager who is an active member of her school's chastity club. She firmly believes in abstinence and teaches her peers the importance of purity. However, she is curious about sex and starts to question her beliefs.
One day, she meets Tobey, a boy who seems genuinely interested in her. Despite her reservations, they start a relationship. During their sexual encounter, Tobey attempts to force himself upon Dawn, and she discovers that she has a unique condition- vagina dentata, which means she has teeth inside her vagina.
This discovery both horrifies and excites Dawn, and she soon learns to use her newfound power to defend herself against sexual predators. Along the way, Dawn has to navigate the judgmental society around her and ultimately comes to terms with her sexuality and unique condition.
Teeth is a darkly comedic take on the horror genre, grappling with themes of sexual assault, abstinence, and female empowerment. The film received critical acclaim for its fresh take on a well-worn trope and its nuanced portrayal of female sexuality. While it may not be for the faint-hearted, Teeth is a must-watch for horror fans looking for something unique.
