Toothfairy 5 (2022) User Reviews

Funny, rediculous, slow

[jtedrow-50299 · 3/10 · 13 April 2024]

At first, when the killer is introduced, I thought to myself, "it's about to go down", not realizing it was gonna be in a bad way. The slowest killer ever, but somehow managing to wack everyone. I mostly just enjoyed laughing at how it was just Salad Fingers, but instead of spoons, he wants teeth.

68% angry at how dumb and helpless everyone is, apperiently incapable of using their limbs. 32% distracted by petting my cat, and playing Pokémon Go. I feel almost guilty for not finding anything to appreciate, besides the humor. Was it suppose to be funny? Can't say. Just don't expect anyone to have a fighting chance against grandma.

I'm not quite sure what angers me more ....

... that I wasted my time watching this stupid movie or knowing that people were paid good money to write the ridiculous script and direct it. I can't fault the actors because they all did a decent job but the script is a parody of horror movies. A school where no phones are working. You can hide behind a toy theater's red gingham curtain and no one will see you. A mass murderer is on the loose and a single police constable shows up for the duration of the film. A mass murderer is behind you and you'll keep trying to unlock a door which definitely won't open instead f running for your life or picking up a chair to defend yourself. This movie is a nightmare ... and not in the fun nightmare way that scares the heck out of us.

Better than what it should be but let down by several big factors

Following the brutal murder of a friend, a survivor who had escaped the wrath of a tooth-obsessed serial killer decides to get past it by having a party at work upon returning which stirs up the returning killer once again looking to finish the job and forces her to battle the killer once again.

This here wasn't too bad but still had some worthwhile elements. Among its better ideas is a workable setup that gives off a rather fun means of getting the rampage going. Offering up the trauma of the previous rampage and trying to get over what happened while clearly still affected by it, this is far more emotionally charged than expected which plays into the makeup of their after-school party as a series of ongoing interpersonal storylines are shown to be ongoing during these segments. While still featuring enough about the killer still on the loose through the school playing with the other students and teachers which adds an intriguing psychologically chilling component to these scenes. That also gives this one some halfway decent and enjoyable confrontations with the killer that once again come about mainly through dental trauma. The first attack on the surviving victim that serves as the extended prologue is a nice callback to the emotional trauma of the past while utilizing some tense confrontations and decent enough gore for this style. The scenes at the school are much better, with the victims going off on their own and being unaware of the killer at the school provoking some solid chases around the campus. These are quite fun leading into the finale which features the survivors forced to battle back against the killer with some fine bloodshed to give this one some likable features. The film does have some big issues involved. The biggest drawback to this one is the killer herself who's an incredibly underwhelming villain here as the whole idea of their rampage comes across as so inherently lame it's hard to evoke any care in what's going on. The whole point of their misguided mindset being the featured viewpoint makes her come off as too disturbed to have gotten away with everything, and with the clumsy nature of the explanation sequence making everything feel like a waste of time this is genuinely an underwhelming part of the film. It's almost as bad as the low budget here which is on display quite frequently, from the lake mask to the execution of the attacks and the one-location setup which are the factors that hold this down.
