Tooth Fairy 2: Root of Evil

A group of friends from college rent a cottage for a weekend. Edgar invites Corey, who is so awkward he makes people really uncomfortable.  Paul hates Corey because there was a killer in their hometown who killed his relatives, but Corey managed to survive and blamed the killings on the tooth fairy. Paul thinks Corey had something to do with the murders.    

Actually it seems like the only people on the trip who like Corey are his best friend Edgar and Jess, a girl he has a crush on.  The other girls think Corey is mental. I guess I can see their point since he’s running around in the yard holding his head.  Also he’s yelling “leave me alone” at those voices in his head.

When Paul says they should spend the first night trying to summon a demon, surprisingly Corey is in. This leads down the path to a prank gone wrong, Corey being threatened, the tooth fairy being unleashed, and doppelgängers with raccoon eyes.  

The people in this movie aren’t that bright. Even once they realize someone  is killing people, they don’t find anything strange about someone all of a sudden acting weird and having raccoon eyes. Plus Corey shows up covered in blood, acting weird, and people are dead, but Jess is still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.  

The sound in this movie is a problem.  You can hear the white noise cut in and out as the shots change. Sometimes the sound is overblown like they set the levels too high, while other times it sounds like something is rubbing on the mic.  Occasionally it seems like there may even be a different voice saying the characters lines. Or the voices sound like they’re further away when they’re standing in the same place as the other actors.  

Also the foley is way off.  You hear what you think is the sound of rain, but then it’s supposed to be a fire burning.  Or a girl runs and the sound of her feet hitting the ground makes it seem like she’s made out of lead.
