CRITIC REVIEWS
“Bradshaw is a fantastic actor, his scenes are wholesome and his innocence bring a lot of charm to a character who is both timid and brave…”
“It’s by far one of my favourite films at Fantasia this year, including the full-length features.”
“The second USC student film in this program, Milk Teeth blew me away with its del Toro-esque… everything.”
“Arguably the best, and most on-brand, short in the collection is Felipe Vargas’ 2020 fantasy short ‘Milk Teeth.’ “
“As for the shorts, “Milk Teeth” is my favorite with its Guillermo del Toro sensibility, creepy monster, and cringe-inducing moments.”
“Aaron Bradshaw’s compelling, layered portrayal of Thomas, the young protagonist of MILK TEETH, provides a relatable emotional foundation for the film’s supernatural horror mythology, deftly drawing the viewer in.”
