About
If you enjoy satirical, over-the-top horror that leans into cringe-worthy tooth trauma and a spiraling breakdown, this could hit the spot; Not for you if dental gore, harsh language, or campy violence isn’t your thing.
Pros: wince-inducing dental horror; dark, campy humor; entertaining lead performance | Cons: uneven pacing; thin or messy story; not very scary
