Movie Story
Night Teeth follows Benny (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.), a college student working as a chauffeur in Los Angeles to earn some extra money. One night, he picks up two mysterious young women, Blaire (Debby Ryan) and Zoe (Lucy Fry), who hire him for an all-night party-hopping adventure. As the night unfolds, Benny realizes that his passengers are not ordinary partygoers—they are vampires with a deadly agenda.
Blaire and Zoe are on a mission to take control of the city’s vampire underworld by eliminating their rivals, and Benny finds himself caught in the middle of a centuries-old war between different vampire factions. As he drives them from one blood-soaked encounter to the next, Benny must figure out how to survive the night and escape the deadly game he’s been unwittingly dragged into.
The film blends horror, action, and a touch of dark comedy as Benny navigates the neon-lit streets of L.A., facing off against supernatural forces far beyond his understanding. Along the way, he forms an unexpected connection with Blaire, who begins to question her own loyalty and the violent life she’s led.
Night Teeth explores themes of power, survival, and the blurred lines between predator and prey in a world where the rules are written in blood.
