Netflix Helps...Sometimes: The Tooth Fairy

Before Dwayne Johnson decided to look stupid by putting on cutesy-looking wings, there was the 2006 horror film The Tooth Fairy. Traditionally, some of the best horror films of all time consisted of a low budget, with an unusually creative story, like Psycho and Night of the Living Dead. But eventually there was a point where it got way out of hand. This, my friends, is a prime example.

The Tooth Fairy is the story of a young girl named Pamela (Nicole Munoz) and her family going on vacation. While riding her bike she meets a girl named Emma who tells her the story of the Tooth Fairy. Several years before, the Tooth Fairy has taken many other kids' teeth and tried to kill them.  Now it has returned, out to kill Pamela and all others who accompany her.

Honestly, this movie has some of the worst acting (Munoz is the most decent performance for Pete's sake!), most stupidest clichés (fake build-up), and worst idea for a story (taking children's teeth and killing them?).  There is nothing redeeming about this movie besides the fact that it is only 1 hour and 29 minutes long. It is like any other horror film that you see nowadays, so there is no use in seeing this movie.

I know this review is very unprofessional, but so is the movie.  I find no use in being fair.  This film is atrocious.  It receives an awful .5/4.  Please do yourself a favor and don't ever watch this garbage, no matter how much you are persuaded.
