The Tooth Fairy

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.

Darcy Wagner (Chandra West) and her ten-and-a-half-year-old daughter Pamela "Pammy" (Nicole Muñoz) are heading to the bred and breakfast of her boyfriend Peter Campbell (Lochlyn Munro) in the River Bend Road in Northern California. Peter has quited his career of doctor and bought an old house to have a calmer life and write a book. When Darcy stops at a gas station to ask for direction, she has an abusive treatment from the owners, the Hammond Brothers. Meanwhile Peter welcomes his first guest, the student Stephanie "Star" Roberts (Carrie Anne Fleming), while he works with his friend Bobby Boulet (Jesse Hutch) repairing the house. When Darcy and Pamela arrive, he explains that he had a dispute in the justice with the Hammond Brothers and asks Darcy to forget the incident. Soon Pamela befriends the girl Emma (Jianna Ballard) in the barn and she tells that the house belonged to the Tooth Fairy Witch that killed many children to get their milk-teeth; further, Pamela would be in danger since she still has her last milk-tooth. Pamela tells Emma's story to her mother and Peter, but they do not believe in her. But when their friends are slaughtered in the house, Darcy and Peter start to believe that something supernatural is happening in the house.

"The Tooth Fairy" is a surprisingly gore slasher with terrible story and screenplay. The cast has good performances but the story is poorly written. One point that irritates me in this type of movie is the indifference of characters with the death of someone close to them. For example, Bobby is slaughtered in one scene and forgotten in the next ones by Peter, Darcy and Pamela. Cherise is slaughtered in a room and her boyfriend Cole wants to get laid with Star Robert immediately after with the butchery still in one room. There are several unexplained deaths (Bobby, Cherise, Cole, Chuck and Ben and their mad sister) and there is no consequences or investigation. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "Lenda Maldita" ("Damned Legend")

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

The Tooth Fairy is about the ghost of an old deformed witch that lures children to her house to get a prize for their loose tooth and then takes their lives. The first few minutes introduce you to the 1949 beginning of the legend of the tooth fairy and then switches to present day. The worn out horror plot is pretty much saved by the solid acting. They could have done without the Hammond brothers and a few other scenes, but overall the gore scenes were bloody but quick which had a minimizing effect. The eye candy is pretty good for both genders. Camera work is good. Dialog is fair but cheesy. I expected the film to be a bare bones, low budget, slasher with very few redeeming factors. I was surprised by the quality of the film.

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.
