Netflix's "Night Teeth" Adds Nothing but Bad Writing to the Vampire Genre

    The Netflix original movie "Night Teeth" starting Jorge Lendeborg, Jr. is dull.

The Netflix original movie “Night Teeth” is all talk but no bite literally. This hour and 47-minute movie are drained of any actual action or interesting plot. The film sinks its teeth into cliches and adds nothing to the vampire genre but neon lights. 

The story follows a college student Benny (Jorge Lendeborg, Jr.) who for some extra cash takes a late-night chauffeur shift from his half-brother Jay (Raúl Castillo) only to realize the women he's driving have a special appetite for blood. 

The main vampires Blaire (Debby Ryan) and Zoe (Lucy Fry) are on a mission, set up by Zoe’s boyfriend Victor (Alfie Allen) to overthrow the vampires of Los Angeles. However, without Benny's knowledge Jay leads a group of vampire hunters who are ready to kill. 

“Night Teeth” struggles where children who dress up as vampires with the fangs and everything for Halloween also do, talking. The dialogue hurt more than giving blood. 

With lines like, “I bet you give good blood” and “Once you’re gone, this city’s just one fat neck, waiting to get sucked,” it is hard to not consider a coffin. 

Megan Fox and Sydney Sweeney appear in the movie for around two minutes yet were the face of marketing for the Netflix Original. Grace (Megan Fox) is a strict girl boss vampire and dressed head to toe in what looks like Hot Topic, Eva (Sydney Sweeney) is her loyal sidekick.

Their introductions and exits all happen in one scene that was not needed in the film but was definitely needed to market this waste of time. 

Once Benny figures out that Blaire and Zoe are vampires, they explain all of the action packed, exciting things they have done while not showing a drop of blood. That is this movie's main issue showing and not telling. 

With only three real fight scenes that each last a few seconds the movie seems pointless. The romance between Blaire and Benny is forced and given too much screen time that could have been used for more action. 

The real motives and emotions of each character are never fleshed out leaving “Night Teeth” dull and in need of a dentist.
