One bad tooth fairy

The Title refers to a town as well as a state of mind. Neither is worth a detour, except by those who can't get enough of levitating fiends, endless banshee shrieking and eviscerating, and sudden bellows of high-discord music calculated to distract snogging film-goers from their immediate lusts.

A child witnesses its mother spirited away by the Tooth Fairy, a hag in a white mask who had been unjustly accused of child-murder and burnt alive by outraged parents.

When grown up, the kid returns to the primal scene and challenges an apparition whose one weakness is being photophobic - which excuses some very murky camerawork, but causes a lot of eye-strain just to see what's happening.

It doesn't stint on the red stuff and no fright-film clichè is left out. Bogey-fanciers may enjoy it; others may want to check out long before they all take refuge in the lighthouse.
