7/10
"Much like Dawn's ill-fated gyno visit, a peek beneath the folds of this clever and surprisingly amusing little horror comedy holds a few surprises for curious gay viewers."  AfterElton.com  Brian Juergens

2.5/5
"You'll have to forgive the pun, but it simply lacks bite."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

C
"Writer/director Mitchell Lichtenstein tosses in thematic elements of incest and pedophilia as so much narrative hamburger helper, but by then the movie has already worn out its welcome."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

2/4
"Though good for a few laughs, the one-note Teeth is just another trite rape-revenge fantasy."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B
"A spoof of B-movie monster flicks, a satire of modern-day puritan ethics, and a tongue-in-cheek female-empowerment story."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

3/4
"A well crafted clashing of sub-genres and themes that works to its advantage, making it an instant cult classic..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

2/4
"The film's mix of cheap gags, macabre coming-of-age story, social satire and Cronenbergian body horror is apparently meant to gel into black comedy, but it never quite does."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

2/5
"Lichtenstein has a lot of ambitious ideas for his debut film but lacks the skills to pull any of them off"  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

B
"Seriously dude, no means no."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

4.5/5
"I'm of the opinion that audacity is something to be admired in today's cinematic world, and Teeth has audacity to spare."  Cinematical  Scott Weinberg

"The picture is unfocused and indistinct; there's a noncommittal quality to the filmmaking. Teeth hinges on one strong idea but doesn't know quite where to take it, wobbling awkwardly between going for laughs and making its semi-delineated points."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
