Bullet Points: Night Teeth
Night Teeth sinks its teeth into the Netflix original movie catalog on October 20th. As Netflix continues to release new films every week, I will continue to keep you updated on the movies you should or should not add to your queue.

- The Plot: College student turned chauffeur for a night, Benny (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.) gets more than he bargained for when he drives two mysterious ladies (Debby Ryan and Lucy Fry) around Los Angeles. Will Benny survive the night? Night Teeth also stars Alfie Allen, Raúl Castillo, Alexander Ludwig, Sydney Sweeney and Megan Fox. Night Teeth is directed by Adam Randall.
- The Fox: Just how Foxy is Megan Fox in Night Teeth? I am known for my Bruce Willis laziness score using pillows in my Lazy Bruce reviews, so why not branch out with the Fox Factor? Megan Fox is one of our favorites at Bulletproof Action. Her red shoes. The way only Megan can say her lines. Megan’s awesome action acting. Unfortunately, the Fox Factor is almost nonexistent in Night Teeth. Have you ever went to the bathroom during a movie and missed a scene? That’s what Megan brings to Night Teeth. A blink and you miss scene where Megan dresses like a pagan witch about to go Trick or Treating. 1 out of 5 Foxy Foxes.
- The Vamps: Night Teeth’s biggest issue is deciding what kind of movie it wants to be. One second it is a badass survive the night thrill ride, the next minute it feels more like a Disney Channel movie of the week. I am not sure who the intended audience is supposed to be? I wish we had more scenes with Raúl Castillo. He plays Benny’s older brother and he enjoys hunting vampires. We first watched Raúl hunt zombies in Army of the Dead, now he is going after vamps. I guess all that is left is for Netflix to make a werewolf movie and cast Raúl as a werewolf hunter. Make it happen, Netflix.
- The Action: Night Teeth will not win any CG awards. It shows its budget with the shady CG effects. Some of the movie is exciting as Benny has one crazy night. This is a movie where the chase is more fun than the catch. The action is definitely a mixed bag in Night Teeth.
- Final Thoughts: Night Teeth is an easy breezy viewing experience. It is not the best effort from Netflix, but it is far from the worse.
- Grade: B-
