Dirty Details Done Dirt Cheap:
Francis Dolarhyde is a serial killer nicknamed "The Tooth Fairy" because of his tendency to bite his victims, leaving a rather unique and savage mark. Born with a cleft lip and palate, Dolarhyde later acquires two sets of false teeth - one a "normal" set for his everyday life, the other with teeth razor-sharp and jagged for when he kills. Dolarhyde is fascinated with William Blake's painting "The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun" and believes he is transforming into the "great Dragon" himself - the more he kills, the further his transformation. Dolarhyde chooses his victims from the home movies he develops as a film processing technician - he is eventually undone by retired FBI agent Will Graham, the man responsible for capturing Dr. Hannibal Lecter.
