Review

comes from the funny horror film genre. it’s about a young girl who lives near a nuclear power facility and this fact has apparently caused her female parts to acquire teeth. what ensues is hilarity and horror for male members (and the members of males) of the audience. it’s not a film about how scary women are, rather it’s about the brutality of men. in each case the men take advantage of the girl in some way and they pay dearly for their transgressions. by the film’s end she comes to grip with her unique characteristics and embraces them. it’s reminiscent of horror films i’ve seen before, but can’t place right away. drags a bit in the middle, but it’s a fun one with a good idea.
