Tooth Fairy: Queen of Pain brings us Paula Coiz, Samantha Cull, Genna Loskutnikov, Giedre Jackyte, Marcus Massey, and Jo Barker. While it doesn’t quite blend supernatural elements with horror, it does do supernatural realism which is unique in its own right. It does proudly have a hint or two of fiction, given that it is a horror film.
The defenders of the Corey saga from the last three films are going to have a hard time in Tooth Fairy: Queen of Pain. This time there is focus on a new set of characters: a group of teachers with their students on an excursion to a remote cabin in the mountains. The downside to this trip that the local asylum had recently lost track of one of their most violent inmates. A crazed person who had a longstanding reputation for gruesome murders, A tooth fairy if you will.
The first three installments of the Tooth Fairy movies had so many flaws that it makes anyone feel grateful for what comes after, and because of this, there is logically a case that Tooth Fairy: Queen of Pain did not need to try much to make the series better. It marks the franchise with an overdue facelift and much-needed monstrosity. For a film that performed poorly in nearly all aspects, there’s actually a lot to be said for ‘beautifying’ such a villain, making them relatable and well, scary.
It was a clever idea to transform the tooth fairy to a ‘flesh and bone’ killer who softly speaks and wears a creepy mask. Not only is it clever but the concept is kept in the dark and only shown on the periphery for most of the runtime. This tooth fairy gives an impression of menace, which makes the events that unfolds much more impactful.
Like many movies, this one features a decent cast, some better than others, which makes the film infinitely more watchable. While a basic character, you may not feel deeply invested in their struggles, but in comparison to what we have gotten in this franchise’s past, this positively shines.
While some might mourn not enough blood being spilled, it is a story that does not always feel like it needs it. Another interesting thing is that Tooth Fairy: Queen of Pain mainly relies on tension and dread instead of overt gore and guts. Particularly at the end, your imagination helps create the fright based on the set-up the movie has provided.
With all that in mind, it’s not perfect, not by a long shot. The plot is sluggish in places, with an attempt to build suspense only to collapse somewhere in the middle. Probably never worse than during the several scenes set in the local pub. It is here that some of the subpar acting moments also stand out.
The absence of proper fleshed-out characters makes it impossible to become invested in who is living or dying and the end has a bizarre ‘twist’ that is not actually a twist at all. But it plays out in a manner that it believes is as good as Saw or something.
