Shocking and memorable. A very special girl.

Warning: Spoilers
If you want something out of the ordinary. Something down right scary even to think about; and you're not exactly straddling that high moral ground...this movie just might be for you. Genital gore. High school student Dawn O'Keefe(Jess Weixler)is typical in concerns of suppressing her awakening sexuality. She is proud to be a virgin and leads a local chastity group. Dawn knows of her bodily purpose "down there", but a stranger to its function. Even more puzzling, she discovers she suffers from a mythical and cultural condition called Vagina Dentata, meaning a "toothed vagina". Troubled comprehending her anatomical uniqueness and trying to resist the overwhelming thoughts of the pleasure of the flesh...Dawn is more-or-less date raped and discovers the powerful and violent pitfalls of using her sexuality. There are several scenes that will make any conscious male to have second thoughts of where he "sticks it". Dark comedy, OK. Creepy, damn straight. Others in the cast: John Hensley, Josh Pais, Mike Yeager, Hale Appleman and Vivenne Benesch.
