Vagina dentata is a mythical medical condition that Dawn discovers she has. The thing inside her takes over and punishes Tobey for this assault by castrating him. In the midst of it, Dawn awakens along with something inside her. Their makeout is such a struggle Dawn hits her head and passes out Tobey takes this as his opportunity to well, quite literally rape her. Well, I am sure no one is surprised: Tobey tries to make a move. When they find a cave they decide to take a rest. Plus she assumed he had the same moral code as her, so it would be perfect! Yeah, no.ĭawn and Tobey hang out by themselves for the first time, and this leads to some light kissing where Dawn eventually pushes Tobey away and recites, “purity, purity, purity.” He moves away from her and they go on with their day. I will say, Tobey (Hale Appleman) is pretty fine, so I don’t blame Dawn. When Dawn starts to be interested in this boy she meets at one of her abstinence conferences she starts to question her own morals. These step-siblings are basically the on-the-nose depictions of an angel and a devil. Dawn is depicted as the complete opposite of her stepbrother Brad (John Hensley) who is shown as a sex-crazed, metalhead low-life. She speaks at abstinence conferences and believes in modesty over everything. This film focuses on our main character Dawn (Jess Weixler). How can that not be a joke?” Let me tell you. Now one may be thinking, “’Teeth’ is a movie about a girl with the mythical condition vagina dentata, or vagina teeth. I started going around telling everyone how “Teeth” is actually an amazing exposé on the female experience. I fell in love with this movie as soon as I watched it. My friends and I decided to take a watch for ourselves around Halloween two years ago as it was the spooky season and we had all heard on separate occasions that “Teeth” was just a stupid, bad horror movie. But looking back the people that were saying this about “Teeth” were mostly young men…well, boys. I know I first heard of it as a joke or meme-like movie that was so terrible it was funny. Written and directed by Cleveland-born Mitchell Lichtenstein, “Teeth” is a horror/comedy that has gotten a bad reputation over the years. In light of the spooky season and the overarching fear of what is to become of female reproductive health as Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed, what is more perfect than a horror film that really sinks its teeth into the female experience?
