Admirable film.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Darcy Wagner (Chandra West) and her ten-and-a-half-year-old daughter Pamela "Pammy" (Nicole Muñoz) are heading to the bred and breakfast of her boyfriend Peter Campbell (Lochlyn Munro) in the River Bend Road in Northern California. Peter has quited his career of doctor and bought an old house to have a calmer life and write a book. When Darcy stops at a gas station to ask for direction, she has an abusive treatment from the owners, the Hammond Brothers. Meanwhile Peter welcomes his first guest, the student Stephanie "Star" Roberts (Carrie Anne Fleming), while he works with his friend Bobby Boulet (Jesse Hutch) repairing the house. When Darcy and Pamela arrive, he explains that he had a dispute in the justice with the Hammond Brothers and asks Darcy to forget the incident. Soon Pamela befriends the girl Emma (Jianna Ballard) in the barn and she tells that the house belonged to the Tooth Fairy Witch that killed many children to get their milk-teeth; further, Pamela would be in danger since she still has her last milk-tooth. Pamela tells Emma's story to her mother and Peter, but they do not believe in her. But when their friends are slaughtered in the house, Darcy and Peter start to believe that something supernatural is happening in the house."The Tooth Fairy" is a surprisingly gore slasher with terrible story and screenplay. The cast has good performances but the story is poorly written. One point that irritates me in this type of movie is the indifference of characters with the death of someone close to them. For example, Bobby is slaughtered in one scene and forgotten in the next ones by Peter, Darcy and Pamela. Cherise is slaughtered in a room and her boyfriend Cole wants to get laid with Star Robert immediately after with the butchery still in one room. There are several unexplained deaths (Bobby, Cherise, Cole, Chuck and Ben and their mad sister) and there is no consequences or investigation. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Lenda Maldita" ("Damned Legend")

Opening a bed-and-breakfast in a quaint, small-town home, a man and his visitors for the grand opening find the home to be the legend of the vengeful tooth fairy who's targeting his youngest daughter and must stop the being's deadly rampage.This is a far better effort than it really should've been and has a lot to like about it. One of the better elements to this one is the fact that the brutality level is far above what's expected here as this one really lets the blood flow with some incredibly brutal and graphic kills that get shown in full detail, making the gruesomeness all the more pleasing and squeamish. Almost as important, the fact that this one manages to effectively put children in danger from the threatening ghost is a great sign, which really manages to make this one feel a lot more realistic for doing so as there's a legitimate force out there that children would be afraid of, which is helped along greatly due to the twist in the characters' back-story here, and is actively given a role in doing that which causes it to feel realistic and adds a new wrinkle to the proceedings. The overt supernatural tones present here make for even more fun here with the presence of the ghostly children, the catering to the supernatural traditions and the rather extensive and involved rules that have to be followed to keep everything in line to follow-up on are all quite a bit of fun and really make for this being a rather enjoyable effort. Even more so, the finale is where it really starts hitting it's stride with a multitude of frenetic chases, some intense stalking scenes and plenty of suspense and action mixed together into one wholesome, complete package that's quite entertaining. There's a few flaws here, mainly the fact that the film's decision to include the redneck brothers makes no sense as they're clearly cannon fodder from the start, their purpose in the film is utterly ludicrous and they serve no purpose at all for being in the film which makes the first half of this one drag on endlessly with all sorts of scenes dealing with them and their affect on the property. As well, the film's continual repetition of killing someone and not reacting to what had happened makes for some pretty off-kilter actions from the characters who are seemingly oblivious to what's going on around them, but these aren't that damaging overall.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and continuous instances of children-in-jeopardy including themes of death and murder.

Where to begin. This movie started out as something that seemed like a rip-off of "Darkness Falls". An old , disfigured woman living in the woods, giving kids presents for their teeth. Sound familiar? Then it changes. In "Darkness Falls", the tooth fairy only killed you if you saw her. The tooth fairy in this movie killed you no matter what. Why did they need the rocker, his hippie girlfriend or the Bubbas and their sister? I think the movie would've been fine without them. It seems like the producers sat around and decided that they needed to put extra people in the movie just so the tooth fairy would have people to kill. Although, it's nice to see a pretty blonde girl not being portrayed as a bubble-head for a change. Okay to rent, but I wouldn't suggest buying it.

This movie has one redeeming feature. At one point, after a character is attacked by an ax-wielding fairy, his brother asks him, "Why is your dick over there, Chuck?" After suffering through almost an hour of bad film, this almost made my drink come out my nose.Some of the acting isn't too bad, but the kids all stink and P. J. Soles should be ashamed of herself for doing this film. The story is weak and nobody does what you think (or what common sense dictates) they should.Of course, there are a lot of story points that don't add up. For example, in one scene the ghosts of young children must concentrate hard to move a physical object so they can prove they exist, a difficult feat since they apparently can't interact with physical matter. However, minutes later they all pick up branches off the ground and beat the Tooth Fairy with them. Apparently they CAN sometimes move matter and sometimes they CAN'T. Go figure.Lots of blood and guts, though...a few nice boobs. But this doesn't make up for the deficiencies.If you want a movie about the Tooth Fairy, go rent "Darkness Falls". I think it's great, though a lot of other reviewers don't share my opinion. At least it sets a mood.
