Teeth
Carrying a similar theme to Wolfgang Büld’s Penetration Angst, our protagonist in Teeth, Dawn, finds her private parts have a rather undesirable penchant for mutilating her lovers. On the flip side, they also make short work of giving would-be abusers and rapists their rapid comeuppance.
More a coming-of-age tale focusing on acceptance of one’s own sexual awakening, Teeth nonetheless has the ability to force a primal crossing of the legs in the viewer. Vagina Dentata… enough said.
Species Series
Garnering most attention for its H.R. Giger-designed creature back in 1995, the original Species was an all-star B-movie which told the tale of an alien hybrid seeking to procreate with human males – with deadly consequences for the men and anyone else who gets in the way.
Natasha Henstridge is striking as the alien seductress – even knowing the results of such a coupling, it’d be difficult to refuse! The first sequel invited Henstridge back and ramped up the gore and creatures as it switched the devastating results of sexual encounters to women rather than men, while entries three and four went on to do little more than drive nails into the franchise’s coffin.
Contracted
After becoming a victim of date rape at a house party, Samantha starts to believe that she may have picked up a sexually transmitted disease. Her body begins to degrade, forming sores, spreading rashes, varicose veins, and worse. Losing not only her body, but her mind, Samantha falls into a life of despair – her bewildered doctor unable to identify the mysterious infection – before the true horrific nature of her affliction is revealed.
Moral of the story: Always protect your drink at parties, and never trust morticians.
