"Teeth" The Movie

[wrestlingguy]

Has anyone seen the trailer for this? It's a Sundance movie, so I expect it will get some play. Here's the synopsis, from the movie website:

High school student Dawn works hard at suppressing her budding sexuality by being the local chastity group's most active participant. Her task is made even more difficult by her bad boy stepbrother Brad's increasingly provocative behavior at home. A stranger to her own body, innocent Dawn discovers she has a toothed vagina when she becomes the object of violence. As she struggles to comprehend her anatomical uniqueness, Dawn experiences both the pitfalls and the power of being a living example of the vagina dentata myth.


This movie was inspired by an old porn from the 1970's with a similar theme called "ChatterBox". The tag line of the movie is "every rose has its thorns". It opens in New York, and L.A. on January 18th.

I've heard about this movie on the Howard Stern show of all places! He said he saw it and liked it. It's going to be interesting, that's for sure.
And am I the only one who is going around singing 'vagina dentata' to the tune of Hakuna Matata from The Lion King? Yeah, I probably am.

That looks awesome. I initially thought Killer Condom rip off, but this looks nothing like it. Teeth seems to be a lot more, um, coherent.

[BeckaBoo]

OMG, this just sounds like the most F-ed up thing ever, i will not rest until i see this movie...

[Wagimawr]

waaaaaaaaaaaait so you can't even LOOK at it and it'll reach out and grab you?

ah well, that had to be there to make the movie, I guess

[indy500tchr]

one word...OUCH

[ClashCityRocker]

terrifying...toothed vagina? it'd bring a grown man to tears.

the only saving grace is "vagina dentata...what a wonderful phrase!"

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

It doesn't sound at all like "chatterbox". That was about a girl with a wisecracking & singing vagina. Tooootallly different. =o

The writer of the screenplay said it was inspired by the old movie called "Chatterbox".

Chatterbox probably would have been cooler for the name of the newer movie, based on the storyline.

I went to see Teeth last week, it was pretty funny, and the acting was surprisingly good. I wouldn't buy it, but it's definitely worth a trip to the theatre.

[Ernest Nagel]

Well, I can see there's probably no need for a "reservoir tip". Rigged for nobody's pleasure, it seems. I realize the product is intended to address a very serious problem but I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the ER the first time a guy shows up with one of these things dangling.

South African doctor invents female condoms with 'teeth' to fight rape
By Faith Karimi, CNN
June 21, 2010 3:22 p.m. EDT
Dr. Sonnet Ehlers shows a spiked female condom, whose hooks she says stick on a man during rape.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

* Doctor distributes anti-rape female condom during World Cup
* Jagged rows of teeth-like hooks attach on man's penis
* Device can only be removed by a doctor
* "It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it's on," doctor says

(CNN) -- South African Dr. Sonnet Ehlers was on call one night four decades ago when a devastated rape victim walked in. Her eyes were lifeless; she was like a breathing corpse.

"She looked at me and said, 'If only I had teeth down there,'" recalled Ehlers, who was a 20-year-old medical researcher at the time. "I promised her I'd do something to help people like her one day."

Forty years later, Rape-aXe was born.

Ehlers is distributing the female condoms in the various South African cities where the World Cup soccer games are taking place.

The woman inserts the latex condom like a tampon. Jagged rows of teeth-like hooks line its inside and attach on a man's penis during penetration, Ehlers said.

Once it lodges, only a doctor can remove it -- a procedure Ehlers hopes will be done with authorities on standby to make an arrest.

"It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it's on," she said. "If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter... however, it doesn't break the skin, and there's no danger of fluid exposure."

Ehlers said she sold her house and car to launch the project, and she planned to distribute 30,000 free devices under supervision during the World Cup period.

"I consulted engineers, gynecologists and psychologists to help in the design and make sure it was safe," she said.

After the trial period, they'll be available for about $2 a piece. She hopes the women will report back to her.

"The ideal situation would be for a woman to wear this when she's going out on some kind of blind date ... or to an area she's not comfortable with," she said.

The mother of two daughters said she visited prisons and talked to convicted rapists to find out whether such a device would have made them rethink their actions.

Some said it would have, Ehlers said.

Critics say the female condom is not a long-term solution and makes women vulnerable to more violence from men trapped by the device.
It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it's on. If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter.

It's also a form of "enslavement," said Victoria Kajja, a fellow for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the east African country of Uganda. "The fears surrounding the victim, the act of wearing the condom in anticipation of being assaulted all represent enslavement that no woman should be subjected to."

Kajja said the device constantly reminds women of their vulnerability.

"It not only presents the victim with a false sense of security, but psychological trauma," she added. "It also does not help with the psychological problems that manifest after assaults."

However, its one advantage is it allows justice to be served, she said.

Various rights organizations that work in South Africa declined to comment, including Human Rights Watch and Care International.

South Africa has one of the highest rape rates in the world, Human Rights Watch says on its website. A 2009 report by the nation's Medical Research Council found that 28 percent of men surveyed had raped a woman or girl, with one in 20 saying they had raped in the past year, according to Human Rights Watch.

In most African countries, rape convictions are not common. Affected women don't get immediate access to medical care, and DNA tests to provide evidence are unaffordable.

"Women and girls who experience these violations are denied justice, factors that contribute to the normalization of rape and violence in South African society," Human Rights Watch says.

Women take drastic measures to prevent rape in South Africa, Ehlers said, with some wearing extra tight biker shorts and others inserting razor blades wrapped in sponges in their private parts.

Critics have accused her of developing a medieval device to fight rape.

"Yes, my device may be a medieval, but it's for a medieval deed that has been around for decades," she said. "I believe something's got to be done ... and this will make some men rethink before they assault a woman."
