Critic Reviews
Campy, shameless and sophisticated, Lichtenstein's debut is gutsy and original, and it makes "Juno" look positively tame by comparison.
Read the full reviewFunny, very clever and still packs some cover-your-face bloody thrills that top any "Saw" or "Hostel" movie.
Read the full reviewTeeth is not only odd but it's genre-defying. The film doesn't limit its field of choice: it's a black comedy, it's a drama about teen angst, it's a romance gone bad, it's a B-grade horror film, it's an allegory about female empowerment.
Read the full reviewThe most alarming cautionary tale for men with wandering libidos since "Fatal Attraction." It may also be the first horror movie that women drag men to see rather than the reverse.
Read the full reviewIt's a brilliant concept for a horror movie, not least because the genre is usually so dedicated to male gratification, but the material requires a consistent tone, and first-time director Lichtenstein (son of pop artist Roy) can't quite get a handle on it.
Read the full reviewTeenage horror-movie spoof, John Waters parody, No Nukes protest movie, twisted sex-education film, quasi-feminist fable, outrageous stunt: Mitchell Lichtenstein?s clever, crude comedy, Teeth, is all these and more.
Read the full reviewA game, disarming lead performance from Jess Weixler, who won a jury acting prize at Sundance, goes some way toward making palatable this mish-mash, whose provocative nature could carve out a certain commercial niche.

nothing quite like it
"shakespeare once wrote, "There is nothing new under the sun."too bad he isn't around today to see this film.With a concept for a film that I can safely say has never seen the light of day before, this is an original, thoughful treasure...thanks in no small part to it's lead actress.Taking on many subjects..the dangers of nuclear power, the dangers of chaste virgintiy while denying the burgeonng feelings of blossoming sexuality... the empowerment of women over their own bodies...this film throws them all together and comes up with a serio comic horror movie that's sure to drop many a viewer's jaw.A consumate women's film written and directed by a man...Tennesee Williams would have been proud."
Not to be taken too seriously...
"The movie is campy and kinda fun to watch. My only real problem is that it took waaaaaayyyyy to long to get moving."
are you serious?
"this movie is so ridiculous. the only thing you can really do is laugh at men's stuff hitting the floor. i read the back, thinking i'd give it a chance.... but i really didn't see too much "women empowerment" in it, especially since she was *****, taken advantage of, etc. and all she could do was cut off the guys' you-know-what. please don't bother with this stupid stupid movie."
A truely entertaining night!
"My friends and I went to this movie as a total joke, we could not actually imagine this movie being real!! However, we were surprised at is, as it was very entertaining and totally "watch-able" I would reccomend going with a group of friends and not expect anything too serious....what a laugh we all had!"
You've gotta have fun with it
"Teeth is not a horror movie meant to be taken as a serious, thriller horror movie. True, the situations might be horrifying, but at the same time a part of you can't help but laugh at the absurdity of it. It reminded me a lot of Slither in the sense that it doesn't try to be the classical "someone goes on a killing spree" horror. PS- The "no nukes" undertone screamed of ignorance on their part however."
Rabid Redux
"A bluntly unmetaphorical remake of "Rabid" without even the much maligned rare mainstream appearance of Marilyn Chambers."
