[Closer to Death] The Gore of “Grimm” and the Mauvais Dentes
I’ve been keeping tabs on the NBC television show “Grimm”, which has just begun its second season, mostly for its regular introduction to evil, murderous creatures I have never heard of before. This past Monday night’s Season 2 Episode 1 was no different to that effect. Enter now, the newest face to shred flesh to the bone and fill graves: the Mauvais Dentes.
Seemingly in direct relation to the German Rißfleisch, a tiger-like Wesen – the Mauvais Dentes literally means in French, mauvais “bad” + dents “teeth”. Its a saber tooth like creature that left more lacerated skin and dismembered bodies on my public television screen than any other I can recall, to date. Like a cat, they tend to toy mercilessly with their victims, and are well known for disemboweling abdomens and leaving one inch wide puncture wounds from a pair of really nasty teeth.
They are extremely strong, and fast, and can casually deliver any human to their immediate death without much effort. As seen here. By the way, the practical effects put forth on this show by its special FX crew, which dons a list too long to single any particular one out, is not outdone by anything else on public TV.
Unlike the revenant, Mauvais Dentes have no legends or folklore based in reality. This is something that could have been easily assumed, but I had to check. Just in case.
Season 2 of Grimm continues with original episodes through August and September on NBC, playing on Monday nights, 9e/10c.

Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.
Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.
If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.
In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.
“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.
“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”
Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.
Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.
In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”
The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
