Even Lambs Have Teeth (2015) Reviews

• Best enjoyed in a light mood with many cocktails

  I saw this movie at its "world premiere" in Denver in October 2015. The cast and crew were on hand to talk about it before and after. This review is spoiler free because there is very little to spoil. The film is a quick 80 min. So quick that it feels rushed, not much thought was put into the most crucial scenes. The actors said it took 3 weeks to shoot, 12 hours a day, but it felt more like they had banged it out in a few days. Things happen very suddenly and with very little weight or consequence. I'm guessing that's due to the very low budget. Most of the action occurs off-screen, something the crew claims to be intentional, but I suspect it was also the effect of limited funds and even more limited imagination, since there are plenty of low-budget films who managed way more creative solutions in the face of scarce financing. There are, to be fair, a few really funny moments, but on the whole the entire script is too ludicrous to take even halfway seriously. If somebody invites you to see this film, bring a bottle of booze and settle in. You're in for a night of amateurish acting and terrible puns. These lambs may have teeth, but they're small and dull.

• I found it entertaining

  I've seen better, but I've seen a lot and I mean A LOT worse. You get what you clicked to watch. If you don't expect much you'll find it amusing. On a scale of match stick fire to full on dumpster fire- I'd give it an accidentally catching your favorite barbie's hair on fire.

  clearly multiple false reviews have been submitted for this movie so let me give you a genuine one after sitting through this. so movie opens with some teenagers screwing around as they do, doing some drugs blah blah blah. they get high and we get opening credits. scene has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movie and none of the characters in this scene beside the 2 lead females are in the remainder of the film. so moving on these girls are headed to some farm so they can work and earn money to go to new york for a shopping trip? they wind up making the clearly terrible decision to catch a ride with 2 stranger dudes to this farm as opposed to getting their scheduled bus and wind up getting drugged, kidnapped and thus begins their ordeal and they supposedly get raped and tortured (but you wouldn't know for sure because the movie fades to black anytime anything bad happens so basically everything is suggested ) and we watch as they make their miraculous escape and carry out their revenge. so now that i've summarised the terrible paper-thin plot lets talk about the acting. to cut it short, some of it was OK the rest was truly shake-your-head terrible. the script was dumb as hell and full of holes and there was at least half a dozen moments where i sat there wondering if i should just switch off or grit and bear the rest of the movie. the 2 leads did OK with what they had and that's why I'm not completely down rating this movie. the terrible script puts them in stupid situations and they make the best of it (for the most part) but sometimes they say things or do things that just make you think "what the F. really?" shame cos it did show potential but it was one of the poorest most predictable horror movies i've ever seen. just a much weaker version of i spit on your grave / last house on the left. go watch those instead or something like martyrs (original), frontiers, inside, switchblade romance, or any genuinely solid horror movie. 3/10

• It had a potential but...

  I saw it at a film festival and it was the film I was looking forward to the most since I'm into horror films, and the few reviews here seemed very positive and rating is quite high - but it was a great disappointment to be honest. There were massive plot holes. Like the whole content would have happened in a parallel universe, where nobody notices anything weird. The priest tied on the car, and set on fire, how come no one noticed?? What about security cameras? The girls walking around almost naked and covered in blood, and again, no one notices. How could they always have fresh make up on and their hair never looked oily after being locked in there for god knows how long? How did they get away with all that? Why didn't they make a big scandal out of it afterwards to warn others and close the farm business? How did they immediately found the homes of these guys and got in there? Before they didn't have any brains and suddenly they got so fearless and smart? These were only some of the questions that popped into my head. Horror is a very difficult genre to make since you have to make it look logical, this one was like a teenage dystopian fairytale. Also the characters lacked depth, acting was extremely bad - everyone knew right away who was the psycho.

• Shallow and Funny

  Katie (Tiera Skovbye) and her best friend, the promiscuous Sloane (Kirsten Prout), travel to perform philanthropic work in organic farming for a month and then go shopping in New York for a week. Katie 's mother is traveling on vacation to Cuba and her brother Jason (Michael Karl Richards), who is an FBI agent, will drive the girls to the farm. He asks Katie to contact him every day using a code and leaves the girls in a bus stop to the farm on the road. However they accept a ride to the farm from the amicable locals Jed (Garrett Black) and Lucas (Jameson Parker) in a bar. However they kidnap the two girls and leave them half-naked and chained to containers in the middle of nowhere. Then they bring bizarre clients and force Katie and Sloane to prostitute for them. Meanwhile Jason looks for Katie and Sloane since he received messages without the code and contact Sheriff Andrews (Craig March), who is also part of the criminal ring. When Katie and Sloane succeed to escape, they seek revenge against the gang. "Even Lambs Have Teeth" is a shallow thriller that becomes a funny comedy. The slut Sloane is an annoying character with her promiscuous behavior. The edition is poor and the story has no depth for the serious situation. The abused girls sing while driving the pickup truck as if their suffering was a school prank. The crime spree does not have any consequences. Better off watching "I Spit on Your Grave" (1978) to see the feelings of an abused woman. My vote is five. Title (Brazil): Not Available
