the tooth fairy be set in a small town somewhere in northern california where peter campbell ( lochlyn munro ) have bring a farming property which he be renovate and plan to turn into a holiday inn and he be join by his girlfriend darcy wagner ( chandra west ) and her young 12 year old daughter pamela ( nicole munoz ) who arrive to help for the weekend . while explore the property pamela meet another young girl name emma ( jianna ballard ) who warn her that evil lurks within her new home and she tell a tale of an evil old witch know a the tooth fairy who take baby teeth from child and then kill them . pamela be worry and become even more so when she fall off her bike and her last baby tooth fall out and it not long before the evil ghost of the tooth fairy have her eye on pamela tooth and just for kick she also decide to kill anyone she come across . direct by chuck bowman i think the tooth fairy be just another poor straight to video low budget horror film that fail to distinguish itself from the countless other which litter video shop shelf and fill late night obscure cable tv schedule and basically it not very good . the script by producer stephen j. cannell and corey strode and cookie rae brown be a complete snooze fest for the first 40 odd minute and nothing of any great interest happen during this period at all and be basically dull exposition a if this stuff be go to surprise anyone . it introduce the character and set the tooth fairy legend up and that it . the second half of the film improve slightly but even then it hardly spectacular stuff and there be a few decent set piece gore scene but apart from that it all very predictable and forgettable stuff . the character aren not great and most of them be there purely to be kill off and the story have inconsistency like the story of the tooth fairy herself and it say she kill child after they give her their baby teeth so why do she go on an indiscriminate kill spree that have nothing to do with teeth . what happen to her after the prologue set during 1949. why have she come back a a ghost . despite be a ghost of some sort she seem very human have to open door herself and use weapon to kill people and there be no attempt to make any use of the supernatural element except the ghostly child who be play for maximum sentiment . director bowman do ok and it reasonably well make and there be a couple of half decent scene but nothing to get that excited about . there nothing i would describe a scary or atmospheric in here and do not take any notice of the comparison between this and darkness fall ( 2003 ) a besides the teeth thing theyre quite different . the gore be ok and someone be shove into a wood chipping machine and there a decapitation and someone have their penis chop off and the best scene when someone be nail to a door and then have their stomach hack open with an axe and their gut slide out . with a supposed budget of about $ 1 and 500 and 000 the tooth fairy be generally well make but there nothing special on show here . the act isn not anything great but it not too bad and unusually i do not find the child actor that annoy so that something i suppose . the tooth fairy be the usual just below average low budget modern straight to video horror fare that seem everywhere these day and if you can find a cheap copy then it might pass 90 odd minute if your not too demand otherwise it pretty poor and forgettable stuff .
