TEETH **

Mitchell Lichenstein's film "Teeth" is about as sharp as a newly sharpened cut-throat razor and just as lethal and it's certainly not for the squeamish. The teeth in question could take your hand off but since they aren't in Dawn's mouth but somewhere else entirely perhaps it isn't your hand you should be worried about. Yep, Dawn has 'teeth' in her vagina and God help any guy who wants to rob Dawn of her precious virginity. Lichenstein's film is suitably nasty but it's also a clever, funny take on both blossoming sexuality and religious fundamentalism just as Jess Weixler's first-rate performance as Dawn lifts the film way out of the conventional horror mould. It's also the type of date movie that will have guys crossing their legs at opportune moments.
