Night Teeth@cinetv558d
May I say that this is the worst film to be talking about at this point in time, but what’s better than a little bloody movie (quite literally) to spice things up? I’d seen this film just about when it was released, but I was more or less forced to see it again recently, courtesy of a loved one. It’s a pleasure as always, to share the films I’ve seen, both good and bad with you all. Which is exactly what we’re going to do today.
Night Teeth (2021)
Directed by Adam Randall, Night Teeth tells the story of Benny (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.) who takes his brother's place as a freelance chauffeur. From there, he is hired by two friends to drive them to several nightclubs in Los Angeles. He is unaware that these women are vampires. He also doesn’t realize that his brother, Jay, plays a role in keeping the peace between vampires and humans.
Somewhere else is Victor (Alfie Allen). A vampire who has grown bored with feeding consensually from humans. He begins to execute his plan of wiping out other vampiric lords, so he can take power for himself and ruin the truce the vampires have with humans. A night that was supposed to be spent simply for Benny just take over his brother’s job for a while becomes one to remember. A life-altering experience for the rest of his life.
So, I’ll start by saying that movies are meant to entertain. The reason why most of us criticize the littlest bit about a movie these days is simply owing to the fact that our lives are hard. We’re looking for an escape or an outlet for our anger and frustrations. We see a movie, and nit-pick the heck out of it, starting with the title and then to the opening scenes, invariably taking out the very essence of films which is to entertain, however mindlessly.
That being said. This wasn’t the best vampire film I’ve seen. Starting from the smallest issue to the biggest. There’s a reason why vampires are usually centuries old. Their decisions should be backed by a lot of wisdom. So, when I see vampires acting immature, it kind of runs me off the wrong way. You should be the most stoic and level-headed being on the planet, courtesy of living so long and seeing pretty much everything. I know that’s how I’ll be. Sadly, this was not the case.
Also, the protagonist didn’t give me too much to work with when it comes to likeability. It’s usually such a bummer you know. When the core person in a film is not a likable character for you. It kind of ruins everything minutes in, especially when said protagonist adds salt to injury by making equally unlikeable decisions. Not good, Benny. Not good at all. But, that’s alright I guess for a movie that’s meant for you to just laugh at and be on your way. This film being described by Google as horror certainly cracked me up, that’s for sure.
The film, however, was fast-paced, which I enjoyed because I was eager to get through it quick. The action began almost immediately and didn’t stop till the end. That in itself would have proven rather satisfying if the events weren’t also predictable several miles away. I guess this will be a, “We watch, we don’t judge,” situation. But seeing this film the second time sparked a lot of emotions. Loved the experience, though. All 1 hour and 47 minutes of it. Hope you enjoy!

Hola querida comunidad de Hive, espero se encuentre bien. El día de hoy quiero venir hablarles sobre una película la cual vi por qué la sinopsis me llamo la atención pero nunca creí que era del tema del que trataron porque no vi el tráiler je y hablo de “Fauces de la noche”, una película del 2021 de vampiros un poco rara.
Hello dear Hive community, I hope you are well. Today I want to talk to you about a movie which I saw because the synopsis caught my attention but I never thought it was about the subject because I didn't see the trailer je and I'm talking about "Maw of the night", a movie of 2021 of vampires a little weird.
Antes de hablar de la película podemos decir que cuenta con un buen elenco y actuaciones especiales, en la portada que nos presenta Netflix pude ver Debby Ryan (Blaire) quien la conocí gracias a Disney y no había tenido la oportunidad de verla fuera de ese tipo de películas o series como Jessie por eso me metí y después pude ver que contaba con otras grandes actores como Alfie Allen (Víctor) quien estoy viendo en Juegos de Tronos, también tenemos a Lucy Fry (Zoe), Sydney Sweeney (Eva),Megan Fox (Grace) y nuestro protagonista Jorge Lendeborg (Benny). La historia nos habla de un conductor que recoge a dos mujeres para ser su conductor en una noche donde se supone que pasaría de fiesta en fiesta pero cuando descubre que son lo que le queda es rogar por su vida.
Before talking about the movie we can say that it has a good cast and special performances, in the cover that Netflix presents us I could see Debby Ryan (Blaire) who I met her thanks to Disney and I had not had the opportunity to see her outside of that kind of movies or series like Jessie that's why I got into it and then I could see that it had other great actors like Alfie Allen (Victor) who I'm watching in Games of Thrones, we also have Lucy Fry (Zoe), Sydney Sweeney (Eva), Megan Fox (Grace) and our main character Jorge Lendeborg (Benny). The story tells us about a driver who picks up two women to be his driver on a night where he is supposed to go from party to party but when he discovers they are what he is left with is begging for his life.
La película en sí, es bastante pasable en tema de violencia lo vi muy superficial, no lo sé si fueron los efectos pero realmente no me creí la sangre, los colmillos y esas cosas. Pero no quisiera hablar de ello primero quisiera hablar delos protagonistas de manera bastante superficial ¿Por qué´? Esta película es lo que sucede en una noche, realmente no soy muy fan de las películas que transcurren en un corto periodo de tiempo y esta película es de esas, ciento que no nos dejan ver con mayor profundidad a los personajes. Aunque intentaron hacer algo de profundidad para simpatizar con Blaire que es como la buena de la historia, porque Zoe es una loca y Víctor no es como que lo pasen por algo más que malo y nuestro querido Benny también es como que intentaron hacer algo con él, que no me la creí por completo pero bueno no es como que esperara mucho de la película.
The movie itself is quite passable in terms of violence I saw it very superficial, I don't know if it was the effects but I didn't really believe the blood, the fangs and stuff. But I don't want to talk about it first, I would like to talk about the main characters in a rather superficial way, why? This movie is what happens in one night, I'm not really a fan of movies that take place in a short period of time and this movie is one of those, a hundred that don't let us see more depth to the characters. Although they tried to do some depth to sympathize with Blaire who is like the good one in the story, because Zoe is a crazy person and Victor is not like they pass him off as anything but bad and our beloved Benny is also like they tried to do something with him, which I didn't completely buy it but well it's not like I expected much from the movie.
Yo siendo sincera no entendí nada al principio solo que habían vampiros, fue como a la hora que incluso Blaire fue que dijo el plan, donde yo le empecé a agarrar el hilo a la historia. Considero que no está mal la idea que tenían con referente a las alianzas y esas cosas. Lo sentí muy Cazadores de Sombras pero amo a Cazadores de Sobras así que jejeje lo único que no me pareció los afectos, tal vez porque he estado embelesada con películas que me han mostrado esas cosas como más realistas, ese aspecto lo sentí muy Disney de su parte aunque rescato mucho a las actuaciones de los vampiros, sobre todo la de Lucy Fry que se comportó como un vampiro bien extremo la verdad.
To be honest I didn't understand anything at first, just that there were vampires, it was around the time that Blaire was even telling the plan, where I started to get the hang of the story. I think it's not a bad idea that they had regarding alliances and stuff. I felt it very Shadowhunters but I love Shadowhunters so hehehe the only thing I didn't like was the affections, maybe because I've been enraptured with movies that have shown me those things as more realistic, that aspect felt very Disney on their part although I rescue a lot to the performances of the vampires, especially Lucy Fry who behaved like a vampire well extreme the truth.
Ahora sí, el romance pero pareció de mas, uno no se enamora en una noche, por lo menos yo no pienso que eso sea así en ese aspecto creo que peco porque no quisieron meter un romance medio forzado para mí, con respecto a los vampiros no es tan Crepúsculo. Referente al sol me pareció muy acertado y creíble y me dio muy buena impresión junto con el final, tuvo acción de cierta manera (algo rara la verdad) pero si se supo más interesante al final. Le daría un 5/10 no estuvo tan mala pero no es la gran cosas la verdad, bueno para mí no lo fue aunque si es entretenida para comenzar octubre, este es mi opinión con referente a “Fauces de la noche”, nos leemos pronto.
Now yes, the romance but it seemed too much, one does not fall in love in one night, at least I do not think so in that aspect I think I sin because they did not want to put a half forced romance for me, with respect to vampires is not so Twilight. Regarding the sun I found it very accurate and credible and gave me a very good impression along with the end, it had action in a certain way (something weird the truth) but if it was more interesting at the end. I would give it a 5/10 it wasn't that bad but it's not the greatest thing, well for me it wasn't, but it's entertaining to start October, this is my opinion about "Maw of the night", see you soon.
›Night Teeth will quench your thirst for a new vampire film@daltono1633d

A blood hunt turns to bloodlust 🩸
I just keep getting lucky with my finds on which movie to stream next. Just the other night I was scouring Netflix with @flowerbaby and noticed a movie with fangs on the artwork. It was called Night Teeth and right away I was tempted to watch it. Usually, I will at least look up a trailer, but no not for this one. I was into the aesthetic they used for marketing and I trusted the fact that it wasn't going to be low budget since it was an official Netflix film.
I have always been a huge vampire fan and I do not mean the Twilight kind. The bloodier and more brutal, the better. I grew up watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with my mom, so I believe that is where it all started. I continued to love vampire-themed films as I grew older, watching movies and tv shows such as True Blood, Van Helsing, Underworld, Dracula, Daybreakers, From Dusk Til Dawn, Blade, and so many more that I cannot continue listing all of them. Recently I have even been playing a vampire RPG video game called Vampyr, stay on the lookout for gameplay videos of that in the coming weeks. All of this blood got me in the mood to see a juicy vampire flick. In comes Night Teeth to satisfy my urge.
This film is not packed with huge names, but it's also far from a low-budget film. The three main characters are Benny (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.), Blair (Debby Ryan), and Zoe (Lucy Fry). I had seen all of them in other things before, but never as a main character that I actually remembered for very long. Luckily all three of them kick ass in their own way in Night Teeth. The girls are a badass duo and not afraid to be sexy and deadly both. While Benny is goofy, awkward, and stuck with these crazy chicks.
There are a few other actors that you may recognize, but they are not main characters. For instance, Megan Fox sneaks in with her character Grace. She is in it long enough to remind you just how hot the vamps in this film are. I thought that I recognized her, but it wasn't until after the film that I realized who this girl was.
Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy from Game of Thrones) is also in this movie. His character Victor is more apparent than Megan Fox's slight role. I guess you could call Victor the main villain, but really I don't think what he was doing is necessarily bad. Everything that happens in the movie is precisely orchestrated by his hand and I'll leave it up to watch and see what his motive is.
Zoe is the crazy girl of the two main vampire chicks. She reminds me a lot of somebody like Harley Quinn, even looking very similar to Margot Robbie. The unpredictability that she brings to the table is pretty exciting. You never know if she is going to crack a joke or bite a neck.
Blair is the cute and much more kind of the two main gals. She becomes interested in Benny pretty much right away. Their flirting back and forth is cute but doesn't get hot and heavy until towards the later parts of the movie. Of course, this is a cause for concern since vampires and humans do not mix very well.
Benny is hesitant to assist these girls in their adventure around town, but he is stuck with the job and must tag along until they are satisfied. Once Blair and Benny finally kiss for the first time, he has a change of heart. He becomes much more willing to help and the secrets are out the door.
Although Benny isn't much of a fighter, he still gets in on the action. The girls are the ones who really take care of business. Vampires are much more powerful than humans and that explains them beating up so many dudes and not even breaking a nail.
If you have a thing for crazy chicks, you will be all about Zoe. She continually pushes things to the limit and will stop at nothing to satisfy her boyfriend Victor's master plan. This is a long night, but they are determined to finish the job before the sun rises.
There are a lot of memorable characters who pop in during Night Teeth. Some are brief and others come back for seconds. You will surely find at least one character to who you can relate. If you enjoy vampire movies, you may just love every single person that you meet during this film.
Hopefully, this sparked some interest for you to check this film out. It is available to stream on Netflix. Below is the trailer for your viewing convenience.
We are still in the presence of horror within the Netflix catalog, although I am very demanding in the genre (I have my own tastes), I like a movie with a good story that leaves you glued to the bed or the couch. **Night Teeth is not one of those movies unfortunately, and for a vampire thriller with a different story to which they could get a lot of potential, it was not as high as the other films aimed at a young audience, besides its resources are repetitive. If you want to know my opinions with more details, I invite you to read my review to the end.
E S P A Ñ O L
Seguimos en presencia del terror dentro del catálogo de Netflix, aunque soy muy exigente en el género (tengo mis propios gustos), me gusta una película con una buena historia que te deje pegado a la cama o al sillón. Night Teeth no es de esas películas lamentablemente, y es que para ser un thriller de vampiros con una historia diferente a la que le pudieron sacar mucho potencial, no estuvo tan a la altura de las demás películas dirigidas a un público juvenil, aparte de que sus recursos son repetitivos. Si quieres saber mis opiniones con más detalles, te invito a leer mi reseña hasta el final.

Sinopsis
La trama nos deja conocer la historia de Benny Perez, un chico de secundaria con un gran talento para componer música. Un día, decide ayudar a su hermano con su trabajo de chofer reemplazándolo por una noche, pero las cosas comienzan a complicarse cuando Benny tiene que hacer de chofer para dos chicas extrañas, que después de descubrir su verdadera naturaleza deberá ingeniárselas para sobrevivir ante todo un mundo oculto y oscuro bajo sus narices.
I like stories that can be created from a specific theme, and I think this movie has a point for that by bringing us a new and interesting plot about vampires. However, the story plots (which I think are very important) were not powerful enough to keep me from seeing how absurd the whole thing looks.
The writer of the movie doesn't seem to have planned well the creation of the characters, who really fall short: only three vampires are going to dominate the streets of Los Angeles? And then what comes next? I really didn't understand that part or they didn't know how to execute it since it seems that we are talking about different vampire mafias distributed in power. This new mythology they have created is appreciated, but there are a lot of loose ends left unexplained.
Although I liked the photography very much, since in my perspective it looks very artistic and futuristic the combination of neon colors with a night environment, I think the editing left much to be desired, since there were parts that seemed ridiculous and even copies of other previous films, I do not know if the scenes were a tribute or were made on purpose to give laughter, but if it was the director's goal the second, then he did a good job.
The other thing, is that for a movie aimed specifically for a young audience, it fell short in many things. It seems more like a lesser quality copy of other films of this style and genre. Starting with the way the plot develops and the twists and turns it takes, in my opinion, it looks like a Disney produced movie, not to give the industry a bad name, but the way things unfolded were absolutely ridiculous.
Within the performances we can see good quality, even the main character, although I didn't like his character at all. The characters I liked the most were Lucy Fry as Zoe; her interpretation of a psychopathic vampire girl who seems to be ecstatic all the time for drugs was so good and at the same time a bit hilarious. As well as Alfie Allen's (Game of Thrones) performance, his performance as a patient villain with a huge thirst for power is convincing, too bad his character didn't give all the points needed to finish understanding his goals, and instead, just leaves us with an intelligent vampire with an unquenchable thirst for power.
The protagonist, played by Jorge Lendeborg Jr. is a typical teenager involved in a situation beyond his comprehension. He seems like a copy of Dylan O' Brian's characters that perfectly connects with the young audience, however I find that his personality and goals seem to be well structured, although in some things he fails because I don't see the sense of him still existing in the story, but I think that's more the screenwriter's fault. There are also other good performances such as Megan Fox as a sexy vampire, although we only see her for 5 minutes, I thought her character should have been given a little more development.
Opinión personal
Me gustan las historias que se pueden crear a partir de un tema en específico, y creo que esta película tiene un punto por eso al traernos una trama nueva e interesante sobre vampiros. Sin embargo, los argumentos de la historia (que me parecen muy importantes) no fueron los suficientemente poderosos para no ver lo absurdo que se ve todo esto.
El escritor de la película parece que no planificó bien la creación de los personajes, que la verdad se quedan bastante cortos: ¿solo tres vampiros van a dominar las calles de Los Ángeles? ¿Y después que viene? Esa parte de verdad no la entendí o no la supieron ejecutar ya que parece que estamos hablando de distintas mafias vampíricas distribuidas en el poder. Se agradece esta nueva mitología que han creado, pero hay muchos cabos que quedaron sueltos y que están sin explicación.
Aunque la fotografía me gustó muchísimo, puesto que en mi perspectiva se ve muy artística y futurista la combinación de los colores neón con un ambiente nocturno, creo que el montaje dejó mucho que desear, puesto que habían partes que parecían ridículas y hasta copias de otras películas anteriores, no sé si las escenas eran algún homenaje o fueron hechas a propósito para dar risa, pero si era objetivo del director lo segundo, entonces hizo un buen trabajo.
Lo otro, es que para ser una película dirigida específicamente para un público juvenil, se quedó corta en muchas cosas. Parece más bien una copia de menos calidad de otras películas de este estilo y género. Empezando por la manera en como se va desarrollando la trama y los giros que va tomando, en mi opinión, parece una película producida por Disney, sin ánimos de darle mala fama a la industria, pero es que las cosas como se desenvolvían eran absolutamente ridículas.
Dentro de las actuaciones podemos ver buena calidad, incluso del protagonista aunque su personaje no me gustó para nada. Los personajes que más me gustaron fueron el de Lucy Fry como Zoe; su interpretación de una chica vampiro psicópata que pareciera estar extasiada todo el tiempo por drogas me pareció tan bueno y a la vez un poco hilarante. Así como también la interpretación de Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones), su actuación de villano paciente con una enorme sed de poder es convincente, lástima que su personaje no dio todos los puntos necesarios para terminar de comprender sus objetivos, y en vez de ello, solo nos deja a un vampiro inteligente con una insaciable sed de poder.
El protagonista, interpretado por Jorge Lendeborg Jr., es el típico adolescente envuelto en una situación fuera de su compresión. Parece una copia de los personajes de Dylan O’ Brian que perfectamente se conecta con el público juvenil, sin embargo me parece que su personalidad y objetivos parecen estar bien estructurados, aunque en algunas cosas falla porque no veo el sentido de que él siga existiendo en la historia, pero creo que eso es más bien culpa del guionista. También hay otras buenas actuaciones como la de Megan Fox siendo una sexy vampira, aunque solo la vemos por 5 minutos, me pareció que a su personaje debieron darle un poco más de desenvolvimiento.
Night Teeth, is a movie that doesn't have much to offer. It's entertaining, yes, it is, but it's another youth style movie that is just more of the same. It has a good story but it lacked to work more and tie up ends, because it seemed to me that it was just a bloodbath with not very firm final goals. It has a style of photography that I love, with overwhelming music for the soft moments and action, but with absurd characters and a protagonist with repeated personality with whom I did not feel any connection. Young audiences may hail this film, as it has all the elements that make it good in its style, but for me they are repetitive and for the most part, I don't consider it one to remember or be impressed with after the fact.
Conclusiones
Night Teeth, es una película que no tiene mucho que ofrecer. Es entretenida, sí, así es, pero es otra película de estilo juvenil que viene siendo más de lo mismo. Tiene una historia buena pero que le faltó trabajarse más y atar cabos, pues me pareció que solo era un baño de sangre con objetivos finales no muy firmes. Tiene un estilo de fotografía que me encanta, con música apabullante para los momentos suaves y de acción, pero con personajes absurdos y un protagonista con personalidad repetida con el que no sentí ninguna conexión. El público juvenil puede aclamar esta película, ya que posee todos los elementos que la hacen buena en su estilo, pero para mí son repetitivos y en su mayoría, no lo considero como para recordar o impresionarse a posteriori.
