My Review of "Night Teeth"

A typical young adolescent movie that will keep some of us amused.

Night Teeth is one of the latest offerings from Netflix in 2021. It's an adolescent movie about vampires so luckily it coincided with Halloween. Unfortunately it's not exactly a horror movie. There's maybe one jump scare in the whole movie but there's nothing really to be scared about with this one

It starts off with a narration of the world that this movie belongs to. They live in a place where humans and vampires coexist. Long ago Vampires used to just go out anywhere and kill humans for food but I guess sometime later there was an end to this with a truce. After this treaty was made vampires knew of certain zones that were off limits. The same goes with the humans.

On one particular night a character named Jay is in a car doing some errands with his girlfriend when all of a sudden something mysterious happens. He goes to investigate the situation and with great concern for his girlfriend's wellbeing, he tells her to drive home. Unfortunately that's never how movies go. She stays just long enough to be eaten by vampires.

Fortunately for Jay he knows who is responsible for this heinous crime and wants to enact revenge. Meanwhile our main character is a guy named Benny. He's Jay's younger half brother. I guess you can say he's probably the polar opposite of Jay in the fact that he's naïve and oblivious.

When Jay comes for a surprise visit home Benny jumps at the opportunity to hang out with his bigger brother. Instead he somehow opts to help his brother Jay by working as a chauffer for Jay's business.

On Benny's first chauffeur job he meets 2 women that aren't what they seem and the adventure really begins from there. Obviously we'll learn that they're vampires and that they have something to do or know of Jay's girlfriend's murder.

On the art direction I would say that this movie was cinematically very stylish. The colors really pop out at you with the contrast of neon like colors against a dark backdrop. When things are glossy they really shine in this movie. It's pretty crazy how nice everything looks.

Each of the actors did a great job in doing their part but I found they were a bit limited with the script that they were given. A lot of the movie was very very predictable. That's not entirely a shock because you can tell this movie is set out to target young adults. We have our usual love story and a very generic plot twist at the end. Still I think young adults will eat it up.

Surprisingly there wasn't a lot of action in this movie. You'd think for a horror movie that it would be pretty gory and violent but there's not a lot. I think they decided to do this so that the movie could have more of a broad appeal with a wider audience. Also it's set to target a younger adult demographic so it all kind of makes sense.

Even though it doesn't change a lot to make it stand out from the rest of the young adult movies out there it is still a competent movie. I still had a good time watching it because the actors were able to bring life to the story. This movie definitely got a facelift from the cinematography and the acting abilities of the cast.

Overall, that's all that really matters to me. As long as the movie was watchable I'm a happy person. This is the kind of movie that you'd just watch for fun and kill some time. I wouldn't have multiple viewings of it. That's why I have to give this movie a 6 out of 10. It's decent enough to keep anyone entertained but not enough to recommend.
