The Tooth Fairy (2006)

Peter buys an old house to turn into a bed and breakfast. When his girlfriend Darcy and her daughter Pamela arrive for the weekend, Pamela meets a little girl who tells her the legend of the tooth fairy. Years ago the house was home to a witch who would kill children after taking their last baby tooth. Coincidentally Pamela has one baby tooth which is quickly knocked out in a fall.

For some reason that is not explained - perhaps that her home has been renovated? - the tooth fairy starts killing guests at the house and even some of the locals.

The strangest thing about this movie is that Darcy and Pamela do not seem to think it's important to tell anyone of the violent attacks on their person. First Darcy is attacked and almost raped at a gas station. When she arrives at Peter's she doesn't mention it at all until he asks about her broken window. How could it not be the first thing she said? Why didn't she call the cops?

Second, when Pamela is riding her bike through the woods and a hooded figure jumps out of the woods and knocks her off her bike, she never says a word to her Mom. Are you serious? You were just attacked by a freak in the woods and you tell her you fell off your bike?
