Horror Movie: The Tooth Fairy

It looks like the next best thing is ripping off our childhood fantasies.
And this movie seems to promise that and a lot more.
Lots of blood and agonizing screams from little and innocent children...
Oh well... Ok ok... You're right! I'm overreacting I guess!

Here's the picture... Remember that childhood myth we had about the tooth fairy?
Almost all kids picture her as a gentle and beautiful fairy who would come in the night to get your teeth and leave some money to replace it...

What if the truth wasn't quite so? What if she is not as beautiful as you imagine
her, and not so young? What if she is already dead?



"Amid the idyllic splendor of the Northern California woods, a quaint country inn offers respite for the weary traveler.
It also harbors a dark secret.

Almost sixty years earlier, it was the crumbling home of a malevolent witch who lured in children, stole their teeth, butchered their bodies, and cursed their souls to wander the earth forever.
Now, the witch's slumber has been disturbed, and
her vengeful spirit seeks the slaughter of all who stay there.
And for one eleven -year-old
girl with a loose molar and an active imagination, the ultimate horror begins with a visit from The Tooth Fairy..."
