On paper that’s good, but the execution is awful. She’s an ex-stripper who wasn’t a fan of being treated like a sex object, so now she’s training to be a veterinarian. Horror movies have a troubled relationship with overtly sexual characters, but an attempt was made to humanize her.
SCARY MOVIES ABOUT TOOTH FAIRY MOVIE
Anyway, she gets defeated and the ghost kids are freed, but this is a bad horror movie so it ends with a tease that she’s not really defeated. The awful mask the actor was wearing didn’t help things, making me think of a Scooby-Doo episode. I honestly believed for a period of time that this was a normal person pretending to be the witch–there are some hillbillies who are mad at Peter to the point where they try to sexually assault Darcy–but then there are actual ghost children asking Pamela to help them defeat the witch, so the Tooth Fairy is just lame. Now, did those deaths sound… a little lackluster for a supposed supernatural entity? The witch in general is really disappointing, doing next to no actions that could be called “witchy.” She runs around with a hatchet, and even awkwardly climbs out a window at one point to escape capture. Peter, Darcy, and Pamela survive, along with an ex-stripper named Star who I’ll get to in a moment. There’s a himbo helping with yard work who gets fed into a woodchipper, then a hippie lady who gets nailed to a wall and has her limbs hacked off, then a skeezy rocker who gets his head chopped off. Anyway, the place gets a small cast of colorful characters, mostly so we have non-essential people for the Tooth Fairy to kill. Wait, weren’t Munro and West a couple in 2019’s Spiral, where they were part of a cult targeting gay couples? Huh. Lochlyn Munro) bought the place so he could write, leaving behind his girlfriend Darcy (Chandra West) and her daughter, Pamela.
She’s just generically evil because of leprosy, or something.īut yeah, the work of turning her old house into a bed and breakfast revives the Tooth Fairy. We don’t even know how she died, only that she didn’t stay dead, but that is more to do with people renovating her old home than the fact that she had teeth and/or souls. We almost get some rationale when we learn that taking the tooth and killing the child traps their soul, but to what end? Somehing like eternal life? Probably not cause she’s dead. Once again, we have a deformed woman who collects the last tooth from children for… reasons. The monster is disappointing, the characters are bland, and the whole thing is a waste of time. But where Darkness Falls had some effort put into it, 2006’s The Tooth Fairy is bad on just about every level. As I threatened on Friday while talking about Darkness Falls, there is more than one horror movie where the villain is a witch called the Tooth Fairy.
