![]() ![]() The main issue on display is the dreadful and utterly snail-like pacing that robs the film of a lot of the momentum it's trying to build. ![]() Along with a creepy lead villain and quite impressive gore for an indie effort, this one was really fun at times. With the being having abducted the family and taken them to the furnace in the barn for a fine confrontation, this has some nice action and plenty of cheese. So are the attack scenes out away from the farm as the chilling and creepy sequences in the bedroom of their friends' daughter or the stellar sequence at the trailer which has a lot to like about it as it leads into the finale at the barn. The opening chase through the barn from a shapeshifting figure before being burned alive with a victim is a solid start to this, while the resurrection and attack on the homeless man living on the farm is a genuinely brutal encounter. When this one works is due to the main creature getting loose which is rather fun at times. This one was a watchable if still somewhat underwhelming effort. Trying to make it a quick trip, a woman brings her son to her mother's remote farm to locate an important document left behind, but when they come to realize that her mothers' warnings of a dire creature from the past have come back to seek revenge on the family must stop the creature from attacking and killing their neighbors. Even so, the location is beautiful and well-photographed and some moments are well directed. And yet it suffers more than most with its limitations - it has no pace, and the acting varies from scene to scene. This is an independent film, and I like independent films. All accompanied by the strains of a mournful piano. In among the grubby soap-opera-level squabbles, the creature is revealed as a family curse, in a series of flashbacks spread throughout. Suddenly, there's a bit of gore and the tantalising idea of people suffering other peoples' pain when having their teeth hammered out. Things improve slightly when the Tooth Fairy turns up, all distorted voice and Halloween mask. It's difficult to think of a worse start to a film. Father Rueben (Will Dodd) looks even younger, resplendent with a few grey flecks of hair and growling for all he's worth to convince us of his 'advanced' years. Jen (Claudine-Helene Aumord) is visited by her resentful daughter Carla (Claire-Maria Fox), who looks exactly the same age. The first few scenes made me think the production was a spoof, so incredible were the casting choices. ![]() It's difficult to know what to make of this. Don't make it for the money, make something you're passionate about. Last thing i would like to say is please have a script and actors that can actually act, a soundtrack that captures the theme and the atmosphere of the movie and definitely an original and interesting script. The acting was pretty stiff and unnatural except for joe who was the only one who did a decent job. The cinematography and lighting was good at times but a lot of shots were timed poorly and there were plenty of awkward angles and scenes like there is this guy that runs towards the stairs when he hears her daughter scream and he is holding a scented candle and the way he walks in slow motion is so cringe. The second thing was the plot and the dialogue, the dialogue was really boring like its ok to include some drama between the characters but this shouldn't be like 90% of the script.I'm here to watch a movie about an evil tooth fairy, make her scary and have some interesting lore behind her instead of her just being some witch or the devil(which was explained in a flashback that lasted for like 2 minutes and was pretty cliche). Also it was too loud and i had trouble making sense of what was actually happening in the movie. The most obvious complaint i had was the soundtrack which had some epic infinity wars theme going on which didn't go well with the theme of the movie, like its a horror movie, set the mood and make it a little creepy. Ok so i clicked on this because of the catchy thumbnail and the whole idea of there being an evil tooth fairy seemed kinda interesting but this is definitely not what the movie had to offer. ![]()
