Plot summary
Housewife Katherine loses consciousness and loses her cell phone as a result. Lesbian waitress Trinh sends her sexually suggestive messages and pictures. Katherine's husband works with a man by the name of Phil.[1]
Payroll clerk Phil, who is confused about his sexuality, thinks that he is transforming into a werewolf because his hair grows so quickly that he has to shave every hour, he gorges on raw meat, and he is uninjured after being struck by a car.[2]

Production
The film's budget was less than $100,000 and had a filming schedule of 21 days in Los Angeles.[3] Lee and Lin separated the filming between themselves, with Lee filming the part with Katherine and Lin filming the part with Phil.[3] It was released by Lin's company Margin Films.[4] The term GenerAsian X may have been coined because of this film's release, with the X later being removed.[5]
Lee said in a 2012 interview, "Shopping for Fangs is about finding connections, which is a theme that threads through all my movies." He also said, "It’s hard to quantify cultural impact, but certainly years after, scholars and critics are still talking about Shopping for Fangs."[6]
Reception
David Noh, writing for Film Journal, said, "Under the circumstances, the actors manage to do rather nicely."[7] Edward Guthmann, of San Francisco Chronicle, wrote, "Despite some fresh ideas, attractive actors and a sly, surprising performance by Chin as the disaffected Katherine, this is a rough first effort."[8]
Home media
The film was released on DVD on October 6, 2009 by Pathfinder Home Entertainment.[9]
