This film was better than I had heard it was, but not by much. The acting really wasn't as attrocious as others had claimed, and the film has incredible use of creepy atmosphere to convey the darkness that keeps the children safe from 'The Tooth Fairy'. Other than that though, it is not much of a horror film.
Now, to give fair credit where credit is due, this movie does have some good tension buildup at the beginning, and a few places that may or may not make you jump, but other than that, my biggest complaint was that this creepy urban legend come to life just evolved into a very cheap imitation of Pitch Black, minus Vin Diesel of course. I'm serious, it becomes less concerned about plot, or the villan, and more focused on the main characters running away from the tooth fairy, hopping into any source of light they can find in order to stay out of the darkness that she can only exist in. There were many scenes where I was literally about to scream RIP OFF at the tv, but it's okay, since Pitch Black was slightly above average at best anyway.
Overall, not horrible, but as you were undoubtedly expecting, not that good either. It is an effective time waster (at a tight 75 minutes or so) and good entertainment for a boring night of movies.
