![]() It’s very much like the strange occurrences of the Nightmare on Elm Street series and given the more supernatural bent of this franchise that’s not a surprise. ![]() Be it a toothache, a spot of blood, there’s always something to signify worse is on the way. What Tooth Fairy: The Last Extraction has going for it over the previous films is the rather clever pre-cursor to the tooth fairy’s arrival – things going wrong with people’s mouths. Mainly because, in a MASSIVE coincidence, the book from which the two girls read in the epilogue is found by a local hobo and he sells it to Sally… as he recognised it as the ancient book of the tooth fairy! Talk about stretching plausibility, even for a horror film. Last time round it was Corey that was haunted by the titular tooth fairy, this time round however it’s his daughter Sally who’s seemingly the target of the hideous hag. Along for the ride are friends Diane, Christy, Toby and Benny plenty of characters ready for the slaughter! Yes, the survivor of not one but TWO tooth fairy massacre is in for another dose of urban legend terror as he chaperones his daughter, Sally, on a summer holiday near Corey’s grandmothers house… and we all know what happened there. Three cheesy slaughters and a ridiculously large-head tooth fairy later and we’re into the story proper. Tooth Fairy: The Last Extraction kicks off with two teenagers (you know the ones, the kind of “teens” that proliferated genre fare in the 80s – who always looked about 30!) having a sleepover and one goads the other into reciting a passage that supposed to summon the tooth fairy. IN fact that first film was a blight on the record of Champ Dog Films who had – until then – been making inroads into the UK genre scene for some time, often overcoming shortcomings, be they budget, production values or performances, to create genre fare worthy of carry the tag of “ a great British Horror film.” Luckily for Champ Dog they managed to strike a deal with US distributors, finding success on the shelves of Walmart’s across the States… which, one would assume, is how we’ve got to a THIRD film in a series that didn’t start off that well. Stars: Andrew Rolfe, Annie Knox, Jo Barker, Evangelina Burton, Rob Drake, Ricardo Freitas, Lee Hancock, Lewis Hudson, Anthony Howes, Lucinda Nicole | Written by Tom Jolliffe | Directed by Louisa WarrenĪh the laws of diminishing returns… Tooth Fairy: The Last Extraction is the second sequel the less-than-stellar original film, which was pretty bad – even for low-budget British film.
