⭐️⭐️1/2
A supernatural fiend takes out townsfolk unfortunate enough to live in the place where she was lynched by an angry mob more than one hundred years earlier. Matilda Dixon was falsely accused of murdering two kids thanks to a horrible disfigurement by fire causing her to stick to the dark due to the light bringing nothing but pain and forcing her to don a porcelain mask, making her an easy target of blame. Now she takes the form of a creepy-ass tooth fairy (she used to trade kids money for their teeth... yeah... I know, completely not weird at all) who pays a visit to anyone losing their last baby tooth and you better pray ya don’t catch a glimpse of the creepy-ass creeper. A child who survived an encounter with the pissed-off ghost comes back to the town that accused him of murdering his mother (they don’t buy his story of a porcelain-masked specter) to help out his old girlfriend when her little brother claims the spirit is back. It won’t take long for a few unlucky schmucks to realize there is definitely a reason to be afraid of the dark. Bodies start dropping and the cops suspect the returning Kyle is taking out folks in their quiet and creepy neighborhood. Light on splatter and memorable protagonists, the film banks everything on its cool-as-hell killer and there’s nothing wrong with that. It doesn’t hit classic territory but Matilda Dixon leaves enough of an impact to justify a few rewatches. Angus Sampson shows up as a local shithead and Emily Browning out acts everyone during her brief appearance.
