Back to Teeth

I know this is a little late but I wanted to bring back the discussion of the talking parts and vagina dentata lecture we had. And more specifically the movie Teeth that was briefly talked about in class. I was able to check out the movie and even noticed that it recieved the Special Jury Prize at Sundance in 2007. Not only was this movie funny during many scenes but also a bit horrific, for a guy to see. I'm not sure how a woman would feel about this subject but I watched this with my roommate who said he was scarred for life. The movie was an interesting yet grotesque way of explaining how a girl can control her vagina. Throughout the film she encounters guys that try to take advantage of her who, in turn, lose their dicks, or essentially get them bit off. Most of these "bite" victims show a very nightmarish feel to them. And then the main character uses her "teeth" as a weapon against men she doesn't like. I'm not sure if that's a good way to take care of things; chopping other guy's dicks off. But I guess that's the view of the director and it worked well. I was surprised when I checked online that the movie had great ratings as well. Horror movies don't usually get good ratings but this was ranked one of the top Horror movies.

Here is one of those utterly disturbing scenes from the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=435fX473Nqo&oref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fresults%3Fsearch_query%3Dteeth%2Bscene%26oq%3Dteeth%2Bscene%26aq%3Df%26aqi%3Dg5g-m5%26aql%3D%26gs_sm%3De%26gs_upl%3D2359l3676l0l3802l11l9l0l0l0l0l270l1313l2.3.3l8l0&has_verified=1
