Netflix has released the first images of its new vampire thriller Night Teeth. Directed by I See You's Adam Randall, the film follows student-turned-chauffeur Benny (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.) who finds himself driving two party girls (Debby Ryan's Blaire and Lucy Fry's Zoe) to various events in LA. However, Benny soon discovers that the parties he is taking the girls to have a blood-thirsty bent. The night quickly takes a turn for the worse as Benny finds himself in the middle of gang-war between rival vampire clans as he desperately tries to survive until dawn.
Lendeborg Jr. is joined by Game of Thrones' Alfie Allen as Victor, as well as Megan Fox, Sydney Sweeney, and Vikings' Alexander Ludwig, who are playing undisclosed roles. Night Teeth also stars Raúl Castillo, who will play Benny's brother Jay, a character that turns out to be a vampire hunter and forces Benny to choose between family and the temptation of Zoe and Blaire. Production on Night Teeth was delayed in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but filming resumed in September of last year, with the film now expected to release on October 20.
The images released by Collider offer the first look at the upcoming thriller, and predominantly focus on Zoe and Blaire at various points throughout the night. They also show Benny falling under the sway of the two party girls as they flirt with him, and he seemingly becomes tempted by them in various ways. Another offers a glimpse of Fox and Sweeney standing assertively behind Allen's Victor, suggesting that the three are working closely together; although it remains to be seen in what manner exactly. Check out the images below:
With very little known about what Night Teeth will entail, aside from its core premise, these images certainly offer a great deal to speculate on. The images feature Blaire and Zoe heavily, and while they are key to introducing Benny to the clandestine vampire world of LA, it will be interesting to see how involved they are in the scheming that appears to be going on elsewhere. Likewise, Fox, Sweeney, and Allen appear to be in the midst of a confrontation, but to what end remains a mystery. It's also unclear whether the characters represent more to Allen's Victor than simply back-up, as they appear in the image.
A trailer for Night Teeth is yet to manifest, but with the film expected to release on October 20, it's safe to assume that Netflix will offer something up soon that should provide more detail. Still, even with just the images to work with, it looks as though the film be a fun vampire romp through LA's underground and may prove a hit for the streaming service. Fortunately, those interested in Night Teeth won't have long to wait to judge for themselves.
