There aren’t a lot of truly effective cautionary tales in movies; fewer still involve girls with razor chompers in their cooch. That’s where TEETH comes in.
The official synopsis: TEETH tells the story of high school student Dawn (Jess Weixler) who works hard at suppressing her budding sexuality by being the local chastity group’s most active participant. Her task is made even more difficult by her bad boy stepbrother Brad’s (John Hensley) increasingly provocative behavior at home. A stranger to her own body, innocent Dawn discovers she has a toothed vagina when she becomes the object of violence. As she struggles to comprehend her anatomical uniqueness, Dawn experiences both the pitfalls and the power of being a living example of the vagina dentata myth.
Here’s a look at the new poster for the flick — the image is slightly but cleverly evocative of the classic JAWS poster, except the toothy terror is between a teenager’s lower lips. The movie opens (ahem) early next year — fellas, cover your privates.
