As amateurishly made as it is, Teeth runs on a kind of angry distrust toward boys.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 24, 2011

I'm not sure I've ever seen rape, incest or abuse dealt with so vapidly.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Whether you view it as a primordial image from the collective unconscious or a practical warning against promiscuity, vagina dentata makes an indubitably memorable impression -- and an ideal premise for a tongue-in-cheek teen horror movie.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 28, 2008

Given how thoroughly all the subtext spells out the message, then, it seems unnecessary to make the actual text so raw, grotesque and graphic.

Given how thoroughly all the subtext spells out the message, then, it seems unnecessary to make the actual text so raw, grotesque and graphic. Granted, a horror movie about vagina dentata was probably never destined to be tasteful, but Lichtenstein's comp

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 27, 2008

Teeth works so well and is so original for at least the first half that it makes the slight fumble near the end zone forgivable.

| Feb 12, 2008

Teeth's whirling moral compass actually provides the perfect metaphor for the teenage sexual urge in postpubescent overdrive.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 1, 2008

Every time the scary music kicks in and another dumb male clutches his crotch, the theater bursts into uncertain giggles like a needed release

| Original Score: A- | Jan 29, 2008

[The] castration scenes aren't nearly as excruciating as his awkward timing and worse-than-obvious pacing.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 25, 2008

Extremely funny, very clever and still packs some cover-your-face bloody thrills that top any Saw or Hostel movie.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 25, 2008

Debuting director Mitchell (son of Roy) Litchtenstein creates a lot of dread but not a consistent tone.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 23, 2008

There's no scarier myth for males, and [director] Lichtenstein turns various images of emasculation into a black comedy that flirts, fairly tediously, with pornography.

| Jan 23, 2008

A feminist horror movie, an updated version of old-fashioned exploitation that lobs a few gentle barbs at the way we are now.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 22, 2008

The picture is unfocused and indistinct; there's a noncommittal quality to the filmmaking. Teeth hinges on one strong idea but doesn't know quite where to take it, wobbling awkwardly between going for laughs and making its semi-delineated points.

Full Review | Jan 18, 2008

Actor turned writer-director Mitchell Lichtenstein has bitten into one of the oldest myths in human folklore with Teeth, an imaginatively demented horror-comedy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 18, 2008

Teenage horror-movie spoof, John Waters parody, No Nukes protest movie: Mitchell Lichtenstein's clever, crude comedy, Teeth is all these and more.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 18, 2008

It is inventive, bold and unquestionably pushes the envelope, and while the fangs it bares aren't quite razor sharp Teeth still has the incisors to make quite a nasty impression (and that's a good thing).

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 17, 2008

Campy, shameless and sophisticated, Lichtenstein's debut is gutsy and original.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 17, 2008

The gratuitous and often overly garish mayhem is made more palatable by the assured comedic turn by Weixler.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 17, 2008

Writer-director Mitchell Lichtenstein is onto something really fresh in his feature debut, flipping a graphic warning for men into an empowering fable for women.

| Original Score: B+ | Jan 17, 2008
