No from this girl comes with a Bite!

Teeth (2007)

Dir- Mitchell Lichtenstein

Dawn (Jess Weixler) is a virtuous girl who has made a promise she would remain chaste until her wedding day, that is until she is raped by a boy who she thought was the one true love. Dawn's rapist soon learns most painfully that this young girl's "No" comes with a bite. "Teeth" is a black comedy about an adolescent girls emerging sexuality and the adaptation that allows her to fight off the unwanted sexual assaults she faces. Jess Weixler stars as Dawn, she is sweet and kind but soon learns that her naive lessons about abstinence will be cast aside when she begins to understand the extent of her newly found mutation. Teeth had a limited release, but its appearance at the Sundance Film Festival garnered an acting award for Ms. Weixler. Since then Teeth has attained positive reviews and enjoys cult status for its unique and original concept. As a fan of black comedies, I found Teeth to be intriguing and recommend it for fans of teen angst, revenge, and female empowerment.

Aaagh! I'm tweakin', dude!

The Wraith (1986)

Charlie Sheen stars as a mysterious figure who returns to avenge the death of Sherilyn Fenn's murdered boyfriend in this mediocre thriller. More of a car chase movie than a horror film, The Wraith does boast some cool race scenes, some weird characters with funny haircuts and a cool turbocharged Dodge. The Wraith mixed car chases with elements of the supernatural and has become quite a cult classic since its release over 30 years ago. In recent years I have enjoyed watching this movie again and again for the chase sequences and the soundtrack that is quite well done for a seemingly minor film. Can you find another movie with a pair of brainless minions named Skank and Gutterboy? If you answered The Crow, then you just discovered another revenge based thriller worth checking out. Look for Randy Quade and Clint Howard sporting an Eraserhead inspired hairpiece. Most of all enjoy the Dodge Turbo Interceptor and a very young and sassy Ms. Fenn.

Children of the Jug

Jug Face (2013)

Dir- Chad Crawford Kinkle

A young girl who lives a remote rural community faces a series of challenges when she learns that not only is she pregnant out of wedlock but that she has been selected to be a sacrifice in a ritual ceremony that will ensure prosperity for her community. Jug Face reminded me of Children of the Corn in that the community lives in fear of a supernatural force that has control over their lives and destiny. However, we tend to see rural horror movies from the perspective of an outsider who wanders into the community and is at odds with what they find. One of the best examples is the 1973 movie The Wicker Man featuring Edward Woodward. Doe-eyed newcomer Lauren Ashley Carter stands out as Ada, who despite her naive appearance is fiercely loyal to her family and friends as well as displaying a rugged spirit that may challenge what her community expects from her. Jug Face is a fresh perspective in this unique genre, and with Ms. Carter's portrayal of a community member wanting to defy the community expectations, this is a movie that is worth checking out especially to see the fresh newcomer Lauren Ashley Carter.

It's like Groundhog's Day but the mean girl gets whacked

Happy Death Day (2017)

Dir- Christopher Landon

A college student named Tree wakes on her birthday after a wild night partying, and through the course of her day, she shows herself to be a massive bitch who shows little concern for those around her. As the evening commences, she finds herself face to face with a masked figure who murders her. She awakens immediately after and notices that she is reliving the same day with the same fate awaiting her. Many people are comparing this film to Groundhog's Day, and they are correct in some respects. It is a film that utilizes a loop to show the protagonist having to repeat the same day while she tries to determine the identity of her assailant. Happy Death Day does differ from Groundhog's Day in that Tree does alter her routine significantly as she tries to deduce who may be stalking her. In this respect, the movie is more similar to The Edge of Tomorrow in that each life she relives takes her one more step closer to finding the identity of the murderer. Happy Death Day does inject dark humor into the series of events as Tree learns to become a better person even if she still gets murdered. The level of violence is not as bad as many other slasher films resulting in a teen-friendly PG-13 rating. Overall this is a pretty original take on the slasher genre, with praise for Jennifer Rothe as the main character.
