Teeth - a Movie Photographed by Wolfgang Held

Teeth will open on January 18 in New York and Los Angeles, and then nationwide on the weekend that follows.

This indie horror/comedy achieved instant cult status at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Exploring the vagina dentata myth, Teeth tells the story of high school student Dawn (Jessica Weixler, who won Best Actress at Sundance for this role), who is the head of her school's chastity program and a stranger to her own body. After being assaulted by her ideal guy, Dawn learns - in a shocking scene that has to be seen to be believed - she has a toothed vagina, says Wolfgang Held, the director of photography for this movie.

Here's the trailer:

And here are some comments from viewers: Laugh out loud, Brilliant film, brilliantly acted by Jess Weixler, Hilarious and satisfying, If you thought vagina dentata was a myth, you've clearly never been to the American Bible Belt, Not something to get your teeth stuck into, Great horror / comedy, Oh my God, etc, etc.

And you cand find also some less enthusiastic comments, as: Ehhh... mildly interesting... even Another Sundance Stinker (amateurish at best)

One of the folks who saw the movie is probably right anyway: Not a date movie. That's true, vagina dentata is not the kind of stuff to make you confident...
