The Haunting of Helena
After
losing her first tooth, a young girl starts having visions of the Tooth Fairy
hiding in her closet, demanding more teeth. Naturally, her mom is a bit upset
and tries to get her daughter help, but everywhere she turns, she just finds
weird details that add to the mystery in dark and disturbing ways. Directors Christian
Bisceglia and Ascanio Malgarini do an excellent job of giving their film a tense,
atmospheric feel that will make the hairs stand on your neck, while at the same
time keeping it firmly grounded in a twisted sort of reality that makes even
the strangest visual images seem real. The acting is top notch, particularly Harriet
MacMasters-Green as the mom. Good as it is, the film rockets into the realms of
greatness when the real mystery is revealed in the final reel.
