Le Repaire des ténèbres

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.

this movie is similar to Darkness Falls,and The Boogeyman(2005)but it's also much more graphic than both,and not as good as either.it's also slow and fairly predictable.it's also got shades of Deliverance and the Amityville Horror.plus,we get some new age flavour thrown in the mix and some of those scenes come off as a motivational/inspirational sermon.really,this movie is a hodgepodge of almost everything.even though it is gory,the makeup effects are not very realistic looking.in fact they look kinda cheap.aside from all that,there is some really awful clichéd dialogue.and i won't say when,but there is a point where a couple of the character's actions were not authentic or believable,given the circumstances.nobody in their right mind what would have acted this way.once you watch the movie,you'll know what i mean.there's also some gratuitous nudity for nudity's sake.it just wasn't necessary at all.the good news is that the acting was actually pretty good.better than this movie deserves.so,after carefully weighing the evidence,id say this movie was passable,but not good.my verdict for The Tooth fairy:4/10

Just saw this film and I must say that although there was shown in the beginning some effort to produce a decent film, this was absolutely horrible -- but not in the sense that was intended I'm sure.

It was like a child was directing this insult to intelligence with the belief that all would-be viewers are morons OR extremely hard up for entertainment OR both.... Thank God for fast forward! I can't imagine the type of viewer the producer had in mind when making this film. I mean, you have actors trying to be serious, albeit barely, and a script that cries for a total rewrite,.... I just can't say anymore. If Harlequin Romance decided to do horror films, this would be a good effort.

If you found this movie to be entertaining, then I strongly suggest that you seek out some guidance as to the purpose of movies. There is MUCH BETTER fare out there. Join a club, READ REVIEWS, but above all, avoid crap like this.

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.

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.
