The Quim Denture Massacre



Teeth is an oddity. It stars Jess Weixler as Dawn who discover that she has teeth in her vagina. As her sexual activeness grows, first unwillingly and later intentionally, Dawn realises the harm she can cause men.

This starts off as a unusual indie drama but strangely turns into a broadly comic farce when Dawn starts biting the cocks (and fingers) off boys, Doctors and stepbrothers. It's always entertaining and Weixler is a gifted actress, definetely one to keep an eye on, but the uneven tone suggests indecision on the directors part.

The story's a great metaphor for female puberty as Dawn goes from rejecting sexual actiity outright to the realization of how a woman's sexual power can be used to manipulate men. Still, as a male watching this film, nothing can prepare you for the sight of a bitten off penis. It took days for my balls to come out of hiding after witnessing this.
