Die Zahnfee 2 - Die Wurzel des Bösen

Well, initially I was lured in by the cover/poster for "Toothfairy 2", as it actually looked rather interesting. Granted, I didn't really believe that this was going to be a masterpiece within the horror genre. But still, I believe in watching a movie and giving it a chance; especially when it is a movie I haven't seen before.

Right, well "Toothfairy 2" was bad. It was just downright atrocious and abysmal. In fact, it was so bad that I didn't even make it halfway through. I just simply gave up on it, as the storyline was way too mediocre, but worse yet were the special effects and make-up. And that was the reason why this movie died for me; I just couldn't stand looking at those horrible special effects.

Now, it didn't really work in favor of "Toothfairy 2" with the level of acting that was put on by the actors and actresses in the movie. Let's just say that they tried, and leave it at that.

"Toothfairy 2" felt more like a home video project than it actually felt like a properly produced movie. Now, some might actually like that approach for a movie and find it charming and enjoyable. I, however, am not one such person. I watch a movie with the intention of being properly entertained by a movie that is properly made.

I am rating "Toothfairy 2" a more than generous two out of ten stars. It was bad, yeah, but it wasn't up among the worst of movies that I have had the misfortune of suffering through. However, I have no intention of returning to ever watch the rest of this movie.

I can't believe this script got made into a real movie. Now, whenever I decide to post a comment after viewing a horror I start by taking in consideration the budget: that one right there is the deal breaker or maker.

Clearly Toothfairy 2 was done with a micro budget, so I am going to cut it some slack. After doing so, let's talk about it a little. Everything was truly painful to watch, and such productions are usually mythical, yet, here I am holding hands with one. Seriously nothing good to say about it sadly, thus I am going to give it 2 stars, not 1 because I have seen worse, but one more shouldn't really make a difference. No reason to recommend it, no idea how this was green lighted, all in all, I just don't want to get into it too much.

Trust me when I say this: it sadly is a complete waste of time and money. I don't think such a movie will help anyone's career if that is what they were thinking. Also, the Toothfairy itself, Oh..My..God. I genuinely thought it was a joke, but no...that's its appearance here. Anyway stay away! You have been warned!

Cheers!

The movie is more like a home project than an actual low-budget movie. Effects are so poor. Actors and actresses are not that good. Camera handling is too way bad. In a couple of words, it is perversely lame. Event all that, the main character is cute. He's the only reason I rated it with 2 Stars.

I found this " gem" but I had no idea there were previous films by the same producer. So I started with this one. Again, I got tricked into watching it due to the scary cover of dvd! But no such luck. It has jump scares but not too scary! There is a slight backstory about an entire family killed and teeth removed 20 years earlier. So now a bunch of friends go to mountains for a fun weekend. Tooth Fairy Monster finds them (how?) and has other violent ideas. But on trip is a jerk Paul who thinks Cory is killer and wants to scare him. He does but Cory is fragile and flips out! The real killer Tooth Fairy killer takes out a few friends. Ripping out their teeth and killing them. Monster is scary and gory teeth scenes. But corny plot! Slow moving! End is good. Cory is rescued. But has a creepy grin at end of movie. Maybe?? Watch and see.

This was so bad it was painfully annoying! As bad as it is in every aspect - acting, script, lighting, camera work - the worst part was the audio! During silent portions, the silence was, well... silent. You heard the sound effects - birds chirping and what-have-you - but as soon as someone would talk, you could hear pink noise in the background. This was most noticeable when there was a pause in between sentences. It sounded like the vocal track was recorded in open air without any kind of noise dampeners (think built-in microphones on handheld audio recorders) and then cut apart to attempt to reduce the amount of noise present throughout. Oh... and sound effects? Good grief! When someone is walking, I think they literally used the old sound effects trick from back in the days of radio shows - clopping shoes on a surface right in front of the microphone. Nobody walks THAT loudly in real life! Especially not in the woods!

Then you have the lighting. Of course, the scenes were it with modern day hollywood bulbs. That is to say that you have three lamps in a room and all three somehow only seem able to light a three foot circle around each bulb. The rest of the room is in almost total darkness. I don't know why or when this became the standard lighting scheme for hollywood, but I wish they'd quit it.

The acting is just pitiful. The tooth fairy is just playing dress up. Nothing makes any sense... I mean, these people are supposed to be going to a school reunion, but there is only seven people and two of them look too old to have been in the same class with the others. And who goes to a school reunion out in the woods anyway?

I wasted my time so that you don't have to. You're welcome.
