Teeth (2007) 8/10

Starring : Jess Weixler, John Hensley, Josh Pais, Hale Appleman
Director : Mitchell Lichtenstein
Running Time : 94 mins

Dawn (Weixler) believes in the sanctity of marriage, as such plans on remaining a virgin until she's married, but this life choice also stems from a secret she holds - she has a second set of teeth in a very private place which, when provoked, do everything in their power to protect her from the advances of teenage boys.

This horror story takes a lot from the early Cronenberg movies, with Weixler playing the victim inflicted with a terrible ability that turns her into an unwilling killer. The pacing is wonderfully slow, not allowing the idea if guys getting their willies bitten off get in the way of some great reaction shots and wonderful acting from Weixler herself. There are some moments that will send most guys checking that their little man is still there, but overall the humour of the piece is what won me over.
