This post is dedicated to my friend Emily Knittle, who has always been a fan of the vagina dentata.
The best thing about this trailer–besides the fact that it’s for a movie about a murderous vadge–is the text: “Something is WRONG with DAWN O’KEEFE…Every rose has its thorns.” I really just like that big, all-caps “WRONG,” as in “NO DUDE SERIOUSLY HER VAGINA HAS TEETH.” I don’t get the erratic cuts to black in the first minute or so; seems like a cheap horror movie trick, but hey, there actually is something kind of awesome about the audio-only moment where they gynecologist accusingly asks, “What did you put in here?!” and then proceeds to be attacked by a pair of ornery labia. The fact that we can’t see it only serves to make us curious about how exactly a man’s arm being consumed by a vagina might look. In this respect the trailer has loads going for it. The element of mystery–by sheer fact that you can’t exactly show the money shots in the advertising–adds a ton to the experience. Otherwise it’s just a rather shoddily assembled series of pre and post-coital reaction shots strung together amidst quick cuts to black (again, for no discernible reason other than to create a false feeling of suspense). But regardless of any flaws it may have formally, this trailer will forever be deemed worthy by virtue of its superior content. Who can argue with a villainous vagina protagonist? You don’t even need a trailer to sell this shit.
