every once in a while you need to watch a crap little horror movie to cleanse your brain so you can enjoy the good horror movies.... this was my night to do that.... and granted, i was a bit curious about the storyline.... i wondered how they'd handle it.... in reality it wasn't all bad.... it had a few good moments.... and i don't regret watching it.... however, i don't know that i need to watch it again to find the little details i may have missed the first time around.... okay.... the plot: a man buys a bed and breakfast and finds out that it used to be owned by a woman who killed kids and stole their teeth.... there's also a subplot about the two local mechanics who hate the new owner and want him out of the house.... which i think was just added to give the Tooth Fairy more people to kill and to pad the script.... anyway.... he has a guest come to stay early, a man who does the upkeep on the grounds, his musician friend and his girl roadie and finally his fiance and her daughter. (who is the one who looses the tooth that brings the Tooth Fairy back for vengence).... it's not a very complicated story and i suppose it doesn't really need to be.... it's straight to DVD fodder.... that's all.
there's a lot of stuff that's just not needed and confusing.... like weird slow motion shots that make no sense in the storyline.... it's almost like it's another way to extend the movie.... there's also a CLASSIC bit where one woman is killed in an extremely grousome way and another girl killed on the front porch by a nail gun.... but when the main characters leave to go look for the missing little girl, the musician and the boarder decide it's a good time to have sex.... WTF....? it makes no sense in the storyline and is just a plot device to show boobies.... it honestly bothered me to think that there are two VERY dead people in the house and they don't care enough not to knock boots in the same house.... it's silly and pointless.... but i guess it's worth it just for that.... the kills are mediocre.... the villian is decent.... the characters are cardboard cut outs just there for the Tooth Fairy to kill.... i'd give it 2 out of 5 stars.... it's not the worst thing i've ever seen, but it's also far from the best.... it's on Netflix OnDemand and a rainy nights viewing with beer and a few other people with you.... other than that.... stay away and watch something worthwhile.... or perhaps use it like i did.... to cleanse your brain for the next good horror movie that comes along....
