Goofs:

Factual errors: There are two stacks on the horizon repeatedly shown with black smoke belching into the sky. In some scenes, the stacks are covered with soot. The problem is that these stacks are really water cooling towers, same as what's used in a Nuclear power plant. They would only emit water vapors either transparent or white depending on the weather conditions and temperature. They also would never have black soot on the outside as they could never emit any smoke.

A True Horror/Comedy

If all you know about 'Teeth' is the premise, you probably think it's a typical B horror film. In fact, this movie is very good and very fun. I don't mean so-bad-it's-good, I mean good.

The key is that the movie is restrained. You get the shots that will make you cringe--the filmmakers don't skimp on the juicy stuff--but nothing outrageous. More importantly, 'Teeth' is well acted and written. In some indie films, the dialogue is so bad it's distracting. Not this one. In fact, movies in this genre can go overboard at almost any point--a rogue scientist arriving to explain everything, buckets of blood, or just a scene that goes too far and makes you laugh instead of scream. 'Teeth' deftly avoids the pitfalls. It is scary, funny, and never too much, at least not for me.

This movie isn't an Oscar-worthy drama, but it could be a cult classic. I, for one, left the theatre with my money's worth and then some.
