Teeth (2007)

 

“A woman’s body is her battleground.” In the twisted, unsettling world of Teeth, the phrase takes on an entirely new meaning. This cult classic merges horror and dark comedy in a way that will leave you on the edge of your seat—equal parts uncomfortable and captivated.
Plot Overview: Dawn O’Keefe (played by Jess Weixler) is a teenage girl raised in a strict, religious community where she is taught to suppress her natural desires. But as she enters adolescence, something sinister starts to unfold: Dawn discovers that she has a set of dental teeth in a very unusual place—her vagina. What follows is a journey of self-discovery, sexual awakening, and a fight for control over her body as she grapples with the consequences of her unusual condition.
Why You Should Watch: Teeth is a film that blends humor and horror, but it’s much more than just a grotesque shock factor. The film’s darkly comic narrative addresses themes of sexual agency, feminism, and revenge in a world where men have often held power over women’s bodies. The shock value of the “vagina dentata” premise is matched by its sharp commentary on sexual trauma, the societal expectations of women, and personal empowerment.
