Violence & Gore: The ghost tends to grab her victims and later drop their scratched up bodies. A few punches are thrown in two scenes and gunshots in one scene. at the end of the film Kyle shouts to the tooth fairy "I See you bitch! and he then punches her across the face with fire, destroying her forever

Profanity:  A few religious obscenities and one f-word

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: One scene happens in a bar full of people who are drinking beer, and some who are drunk.
 
Frightening/Intense Scenes: The whole film revolves around a vicious vengeful ghost, so there are a lot of scary "what-was-that-noise" scenes and some frights.
The very beginning is the scariest part of the film. It may be hard to watch as Kyle runs away allowing the ghost to kill his mother.
The Ending of the film where The Tooth Fairy has her mask knocked off is really disturbing because her face is all burnt
 
Story: In the 1800's there was a woman that little children would take their old teeth (ones they had recently lost) to in exchange for a gold coin. A few years later, tragedy struck her, first a fire in her house which caused her to not be able to go into any type of light, and then she was hanged. There's a story that goes around the town of Darkness Falls about her, and she's called the Tooth Fairy. The story goes that she can't go in the light, and if you wake up and see her, she'll kill you. The usual saying is "Don't Peek." Well, there is a boy named Kyle who gets a warning from his friend Caitlin to not peek. Well, he wakes up on the night when the Tooth Fairy is supposed to come and get his last tooth and sees her. It all leads to more tragedy and the movie jumps to 12 years later. Now grown up, Caitlin calls Kyle because her little brother Michael is going through the same things he did as a boy, and wants his help. Kyle goes back to Darkness Falls to face his past
 
Likes : This is a brilliant film, this is one of those film that really show why some people were scare of the dark as a young kid & why some time the fear of the dark goes to adulthood this is one example of a film that shows that.
Inspired by the real dark fairy tale of the tooth fairy from brother grim story's & an age old story of waltzing mirtilda known as the tooth fairy who's husband died at sea which gave us the famous song waltzing mirtilda a famous Australian song.
 This story take you in to the heart of the darkness & your inner fears to truly terrify you to the bone.
On the DvD is has a true history back ground story of waltzing mirtilda which is a pretty sad story but a frightening back ground story for her, but this film is one of the best horror film's I've seen in a while. this is one film I recommend that you wont be disappointed with a lot of people will probably say it was a bad film not worth watching but I recommend you watch it for your self's because the story & back ground really sets the tone for this film's concept & the dark horror theme that really show why you should be scared of the dark.
I find this Narrator really sets the tone of this film brilliantly: It is said that over 150 years ago, in the town of Darkness Falls, Matilda Dixon was adored by all the children. Whenever they would lose a tooth they would bring it to her in exchange for a gold coin, earning her the name, the tooth fairy.
 But fate was not kind to Matilda. One night fire tore through her home leaving her face horribly scarred. Matilda's burned flesh was so sensitive to light she could only go out at night, always wearing a porcelain mask so no one could ever look upon her face.
One day two children didn't come home. The town's people blamed Matilda - they hanged her, tearing of her mask, exposing her hideous face to the light. And with her dying breath Matilda laid a curse upon Darkness Falls.
The next morning the little children were found safe and sound. The town buried their secret along with Matilda's body. Since then there are some who believe that Matilda visits the children of Darkness Falls on the night they lose their last tooth, seeking her vengeance on any who lay their eyes upon her face, fulfilling her curse: What I took before in kindness, I will take forever in revenge.

Dislikes : Some of the acting is a little off but if you can look past that, your find this film a really good film to watch.

Overall : Brilliant story, scare horror scene, worth watching.
 
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 for entertainment / 9 out of 10 for storyline/concept.
