Le Repaire des ténèbres

Films like The Tooth Fairy are my favorite Horror sub-genre, a nice mixture of supernatural/ghosts/monsters with an "epic" legend for a background story. Therefore, I must have enjoyed it a lot more than the average viewer.

Like many other films that simply didn't shine, there's not much I could say about this one, for better or for worse. The cast and acting, the screenplay and story, the cinematography, everything wasn't half bad nor exceptionally good. The plot could have used a twist in my opinion, I always prefer twists in such films. The best thing here was the music, the main theme really was perfect for this kind of horror.

What I didn't understand was the unnecessary use of semi-gore shots and nudity. Who's ever made it a rule that Horror films had to be for adults only? The story here could have easily been suitable for today's children, so why plant this unnecessary adult content? Could have been just as good without it.

All in all, like I've said, I have no complaints and no specific compliments. I've enjoyed this film very much, yet I would understand viewers who'd find it lacking. Personally I'd happily recommend it.

I gave this a fair 5 out of 10 for effort. The cast are pretty steady. Film is about an evil tooth-fairy and I was more drawn in by the great cover then anything else. Conversational acting is better then the actual action, I think I would scream more if I was being nail gunned to the wall. If it wasn't for the amount of fake blood I think this could have easily been given a PG rating. Fair storyline but unlikely you will watch again. Some very funny parts. This film could have had the makings of a great horror but the plot was poor and only one good death scene. It isn't bad but it isn't good either. Worth watching to see how America like to try to scare you nowadays, IE not very much. Worth watching with the missus.

why is it that, when most critics reviewers, or people in general give a movie a bad rating, i like it. well i guess it depends on my mood, very rarely do i ever agree with the ratings. this movie is the perfect example, this movie got shellacked here on this site, well i for one am going to stand up for it,, the only thing i didn't care for in this movie was the dumb brothers, the movie could have done without them, other than that i have watched this movie over the course of two nights, not that i was bored to death, but just was tired and shut it off, anyway , picked up the 2nd half of the movie the other night , and was very impressed, the makeup, special effects was wonderful,,, i loved the character star.... but what guy wouldn't , the tooth fairy had some great moves.. i find this movie very enjoyable,, yes it's a little campy,, clique..ish. but it was FUN. entertaining, and scary at some points. and as for darkness falls, i also own that movie, and will be rating that one in the future, this isn't the greatest horror movie ever made by any stretch of the imagination, but it sure wasn't the worst, not even close.i will publish my top 10 worst movies of all time at a later date, but here's a quick tease,, 12 monkeys, was awful....... a note stephen j. canell the producer of this film is the same writer for n.b.c. of all those wonderful action series in the 80's a-team,riptide, and a host of others i can remember, so kudos to stephen j. canell on his very fine effort of the tooth fairy.

Employing much the same plot as "Darkness Falls" (originally called "The Tooth FGairy"), this video release was shot on a minuscule budget in Canada with a couple of name actors. It is more of a slasher film than a supernatural one. L. Munro plays Peter, a failed doctor who is fixing up an old house into a B&B. Unfortunately, a mad crone once lived there who sliced and diced kids. She appears to have come back when Peter's gal pal (C. West) and her young daughter arrive at the inn. "Darkness Falls" is a superior film. Here, there are few scares, although there is a neat ghost story worked in as a subplot. Another film of this type is "Stay Alive," which also is better than this.

Tooth faiy well its very similar to Darkness Falls its pretty much the same thing except a tooth fairy is after a little girl rather than a little boy and this tooth fairy is not afraid of the light and seems more hunts people with axes and power tools. Now Lochlyn Munro moves into this old cursed house turning it into a country inn giving up on his career as a doctor saying he just was not cut out for it, he has a young man whos going to be a football star and a pretty lady going to be a vet, along with his x wife and daughter staying around as the first guests, things get bad when the little one (nicole munoz) loses her last baby tooth the fairy lady will stop at nothing to get her. There is some great comedy here with the stereo typical rednecks they will give you a good laugh, there's a little bit of nudity we see some boobs so thats a plus and we have some cool deaths that involve big machines power tools and axes, so there's plenty of fun here. Check out the tooth fairy and see if she gets what she wants, Will she get it? you have to watch and find out
