Best enjoyed in a light mood with many cocktails

I saw this movie at its "world premiere" in Denver in October 2015. The cast and crew were on hand to talk about it before and after. This review is spoiler free because there is very little to spoil.

The film is a quick 80 min. So quick that it feels rushed, not much thought was put into the most crucial scenes. The actors said it took 3 weeks to shoot, 12 hours a day, but it felt more like they had banged it out in a few days. Things happen very suddenly and with very little weight or consequence. I'm guessing that's due to the very low budget. Most of the action occurs off-screen, something the crew claims to be intentional, but I suspect it was also the effect of limited funds and even more limited imagination, since there are plenty of low-budget films who managed way more creative solutions in the face of scarce financing.

There are, to be fair, a few really funny moments, but on the whole the entire script is too ludicrous to take even halfway seriously. If somebody invites you to see this film, bring a bottle of booze and settle in. You're in for a night of amateurish acting and terrible puns. These lambs may have teeth, but they're small and dull.

Thrilleresque

Two young ladies sign up to work at an organic farm in New York for a month with the plan to do some shopping while there. Once they arrive two guys pickup them up where they are then drugged and taken to shipping containers placed in the woods one red and one blue. Each container has a bed and a lamp.

The reason they are there is revealed when customers start showing up. The girls eventually get away with revenge on their mind. Now the film starts.

The film zips along at a good speed with some elements from Thriller (1974) and a few others but the film is not bad. These chicks kick ass. At one point they are singing a song together as they drive a truck to the next revenge kill.

Some parts are violent but the director is not going for gross outs. Worth a watch.

Mediocre at best

Budget flick.

Lacking in any real plot.

Acting is poor, script is poor.

These revenge movies fail completely if you don't create characters you empathise with.

Not sure what the movies is trying to be, it avoids the gore so isn't a horror, no tension so not a thriller.

Typical movie on IMDb though, full of people rating it as if its a modern day classic.

Don't know what these fake reviews are meant to achieve.

Its a poor film and no fake reviews are going to hide that.

Lambs Have Teeth but this movie needs Help

I found this on Amazon and it appeared to be promising which should have been my first clue that something was awry given that I discovered it on Amazon. As I said it started promising and the acting wasn't obviously awful and the movie low budget......at first. When things turn for the worse for the two protagonists of the movie it is like the film, the actors, the writers, everyone just gave up and the movie disintegrated into a -D list type of movie.

At no point in time did I feel like the girls were in any sort of danger. The movie attempted to show their abuse at the hands of their attackers but their lack of tears, grief and their fresh out the salon hairstyles did not give off an air of despair. A situation that would have anyone in pure panic has them seemingly detached and bored as they deliver their lines like they are doing a reading. Once they are on the path of their "revenge" the movie rushes along and loses any sense of logical semblance and because it is done so poorly you really just don't care.

4/10 and that is being extremely generous.

I found it entertaining

I've seen better, but I've seen a lot and I mean A LOT worse. You get what you clicked to watch. If you don't expect much you'll find it amusing. On a scale of match stick fire to full on dumpster fire- I'd give it an accidentally catching your favorite barbie's hair on fire.

Half terribly bleak, half imperfect fun

It's a very familiar premise, in this case flavored with a dash of Liam Neeson's first 'Taken.' And, well - between that familiarity and that garnish, it's safe to say any given viewer will know in no small part just what to expect. I can't say it's a pleasant watch, but filmmaker Terry Miles at least has the good taste to refrain from showing the full extent of the violence exacted upon the protagonists - less depiction, more suggestion. Fewer restraints are employed when it comes to depictions of the women's vengeance, and gratifyingly so - revenge is ever so sweet. Yet surprisingly, for all the blood that's spilled, still the full grisly brunt is withheld from our sight.

In place of utmost crimson and viscera, instead there a delightful playfulness in the second length. I wouldn't go so far as to say 'Even lambs have teeth' becomes a horror-comedy, but it's unquestionably self-aware, and wants to ensure the audience has a good time after subjecting us to distinctly unpalatable content initially. So wholly does the movie lean into that slant that the absolute, incredulous neatness with which the course of events transpires - all but echoing the storytelling approach of fairy tales in omitting non-primary elements from the story - seems purely intentional. It's a little bit ham-handed, sure, but to the point of enjoyment, not disbelief.

Blood effects look good, and technical craft in general is fine, including some commendable camerawork. The cast is suitable, and scene writing and execution are swell. The overall narrative is written well and completely, and ably washes over the unsavory facets of the plot with the amusing bits to help clinch a lasting impression of welcome diversion instead of unseemly (muted) exploitation. Any viewer hoping for a more abjectly thrilling experience may be put out, but if you're open to the feature's style, and its wish to only entertain, then you'll be in for a somewhat refreshing take on the sub-genre of torture-heavy bloodbaths that have proliferated in recent years. Never wholly captivating, but engaging all the same - and minding substantial content warnings for abduction, sexual assault, and general violence - 'Even lambs have teeth' is fairly worthwhile if you come across it.

Unoriginal and poorly edited, but not all bad

Two young women, Sloane and Katie, head out to rural America to work on an eco farm. They need the money so they can go on a shopping holiday to New York. They are offered a ride to the farm by some friendly local young men. Turns out the men's intentions aren't all friendly and they are soon held prisoner by them. They escape and plan their revenge. Meanwhile, the uncle of one of the girls, an FBI detective, suspects something is wrong and comes looking for them.

Pretty much your standard kidnapped captive-gets-revenge movie, a la I Spit On Your Grave, except this time there's two captives. Set up is good though and the movie moves along at a very good pace.

The pace is maybe too fast though. Editing is a bit choppy and weird, meaning you are suddenly fast-forwarded (figuratively) through a scene when a slower pace would have prevented confusion.

Some contrivances too which ruin the plot somewhat. The movie had a grittiness to start off with but there were too many outs in the plot development to sustain that.

Some good action scenes though and the revenge is sweet. Never dull.

I Spit on your Grave meets captivity

I enjoyed the movie for what it was: 2 chicks get kidnapped and put inside crates outside, get sexually molested for days, manage to escape and then get revenge on their evil doers. Nothing more, nothing less. However a unique little addition to it was their uncle who came to the town to try and find them. This added some humor to the film.

I'd classify it as a very dark comedy. It wasn't really funny until they escape and then it turns into a bloodbath and bad jokes.

The movie is far from original, but has a lot to be enjoyed about it. I'd say if you enjoyed I Spit On Your Grave, you'll enjoy this film.

Yes ISOYG is veru vulgar and pretty much a niche genre.

Fun revenge movie

People are so critical & act as if the are gurus for entertaining horror revenge movies. I've watched every type of horror, thriller & revenge type movies. This one was the typical escape revenge movie, but come on that's the freaking point. It's a mix of I spit on you're grave type of scenario which I wish they would have played out the revenge portions to each person a little longer like all 3 of those movies did. If you didn't like those 3 movies then don't watch this one because you will complain just as much about this movie as those. I just wish people would stop acting like they are the Roger Ebert of film critics for every genre of horror and/or thriller movies. Overall it was as expected and great.

Offers some watchable entertainment.

'Even Lambs have Teeth', is like a film of two halves. The first plays out like a teen 'Taken' movie (with a very serious vibe) and the second is like a revenge thriller, but much in the same vein as 'I Spit on Your Grave'. The only difference is it seems to change, being played for laughs (though the deaths are suitably graphic). For me the greatest strength, lies in a a whole host of zany, baddie characters. Seek it out, if you must.

Same plot, different movie

This movie plot has been done so many times and this film does not have any new tales on the old ones. Don't fix what isn't broken. The second half of this film also is so odd, you feel something happened and you missed it for the characters to seem like completely new characters so quickly. I will commend the special effects for the gory scenes but overall, not recommended.

Beyond Dull

Too much of the action left to the imagination. Extremely bad dialogue and while the acting wasn't bad, it was never elevated beyond mediocre. Sure, the girls were extremely pretty! But it wasn't enough to save this. A few good moments in a laughably horrible movie. And the soundtrack was completely nonsensical. It had no role in complementing the on screen activity at all. Absurdly distracting.

Shallow and Funny

Katie (Tiera Skovbye) and her best friend, the promiscuous Sloane (Kirsten Prout), travel to perform philanthropic work in organic farming for a month and then go shopping in New York for a week. Katie 's mother is traveling on vacation to Cuba and her brother Jason (Michael Karl Richards), who is an FBI agent, will drive the girls to the farm. He asks Katie to contact him every day using a code and leaves the girls in a bus stop to the farm on the road. However they accept a ride to the farm from the amicable locals Jed (Garrett Black) and Lucas (Jameson Parker) in a bar. However they kidnap the two girls and leave them half-naked and chained to containers in the middle of nowhere. Then they bring bizarre clients and force Katie and Sloane to prostitute for them. Meanwhile Jason looks for Katie and Sloane since he received messages without the code and contact Sheriff Andrews (Craig March), who is also part of the criminal ring. When Katie and Sloane succeed to escape, they seek revenge against the gang.

"Even Lambs Have Teeth" is a shallow thriller that becomes a funny comedy. The slut Sloane is an annoying character with her promiscuous behavior. The edition is poor and the story has no depth for the serious situation. The abused girls sing while driving the pickup truck as if their suffering was a school prank. The crime spree does not have any consequences. Better off watching "I Spit on Your Grave" (1978) to see the feelings of an abused woman. My vote is five.

Really satisfying

Come on people! What's with the negativity? This movie is a budget friendly locally made movie, not a ridiculous overpriced Hollywood product.

It reminds me of the late night flix you'd watch after your parents went to bed because you were too young. This movie was entertaining to watch and I had satisfaction for the main characters at the end. Do you ever fantasize about what you'd do to all the bullies who ever hurt you? Of course! Ever wonder what it'd be like to follow through? Watch this movie.

low budget exploitation film

In a park, six friends play a game where they take a random pill. Katie (Tiera Skovbye) is reluctant but Sloane (Kirsten Prout) talks her into it. The two best friends are headed to work on an organic farm. They get a ride from a couple of cute guys who take them to a second location.

The first half is basic sexploitation. The second half is revenge porn crossed with Home Alone. This is a low budget production. I am surprised that the two leads are actual actresses. This seems cheaper than that. The first half is cringe-worthy but at least, the story is functional. The directing is trash but everyone else is trying to rise above its low level production. The second half suffers much more from bad writing. It's missing little connective pick ups to smooth over the bad script. Whether stealing the keys or the cop car, the movie needs to show the mechanics of the process. They are able to buy a whole Home Depot to build improvised weapons but they just can't buy pants. They can't even wash their faces since they're busy revenging. Of course, they need to show their butts while raising their kill count. It's a whole look for revenge porn 101. Don't get me wrong. I love biting the guy's neck off. After that, it's a long downward slide.
