Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Horrorible_Horror_Films Well, I do like the gore in this movie - it is genuingly unsetteling. Anyone that's been to the dentist will know why. The story really isn't that bad, Corbin Bersen's character's motivations do make a lot more sense than in most horror movies.I've seen worse acting, directing, script, etc. but at the end of the day this is still a bad horror movie. So it comes down to if you enjoy that type of thing or not. I tried to watch the sequel, but it was exactly, exactly the same thing as this movie. Just keep in mind if you enjoy people getting tortured at the dentist, then this is the movie for you!
lastliberal I am never going to the dentist again unless I see his wife beforehand. If he has some delicious piece of candy like Linda Hoffman, I'll pass.Corbin Bernsen played a demented dentist to perfection. he wasn't demented at the start, only after he caught his precious wife with Matt (Michael Stadvec) the pool boy.Then he used his dental powers to torture his patients, and his wife, in revenge.Really gory, especially if you don't like dentists anyway, and really hot when Linda Hoffman was on screen.It was a fun experience.
Spikeopath Dr. Allan Feinstone witnesses his beautiful wife having an affair with the pool cleaner, thus sending his mind out of control. Plotting revenge on the offending couple is merely the start of a gruesome regime of dental terror.So it looks cheap and Corbin Bernsen in the lead role of Feinstone is hardly a top performer, but as horror pictures go, The Dentist certainly hits a nerve {ahem!}. Director Brian Yuzna is perfect for this type of piece, nicely fusing Feinstone's off kilter visions with genuine scenes of horror, and there is no denying that the horror witnessed in the chair here is seriously messed up!. Outside of that the film really doesn't add up to much, it actually feels more like an 80s film than one from the mid 1990s, such is the cheese feel of the surroundings. Yet The Dentist is something of a must see for horror aficionados, whilst simultaneously acting as a further reason for those who fear the dentist chair to steer well clear of dental problems!.Bloody and at times squirm inducing, The Dentist is an above average genre piece that is just about recommended to those of a similar mind. 5.6/10
whammy666 I love this movie. As a kid, this was one of the first movies I saw that made me flinch. Sure, it is mild now, but back in the day, it was awesome. Dentists are one thing so many people fear, so why not do a movie about a killer dentist? It's cheesy, it's fun, sometimes it's scary, but it is awesome. And I have always had a love for medical horror. And Corbin Bernsen plays Dr. Feinstone perfectly, no one could have done it better. And for a low budget horror film, the effects and such are quite good. And I also love the theme music, it goes well with the film. Ken Foree (Dawn of the Dead) is also in this one playing a nosy cop, and does a fine job. There is a fair amount of blood, and some really cool torture/death scenes. Check this one out!
