The Dentist

Okay. This Movie is a Pure Pleasure. It has the Ever so Violent Horror Mixed with a Little Suspense and a Lot of Black Comedy. The Dentist Really Starts to loose His Mind and It's Enjoyable to Watch him do so. This Movie is for Certain People, Though. Either you'll Completely Love it or You Will Totally Hate It. A Good Movie to Rent and Watch When you don't Got Anything else to do. Also Recommended: Psycho III

My title summary pretty much says it all. "The Dentist" is stupid, predictable, and not even scary in the least. To add insult to injury, it is poorly acted, and the script is laughable. The concept of a killer dentist could make for a fun movie, but this film is the opposite. It's just a bad spin on a good idea. Unless you have insomnia and can't get to sleep any other way, I don't recommend watching this film. If you see it on the shelf and have the urge to rent it, WALK AWAY. Rent "Dr. Giggles" instead.

THE DENTIST is an uneven, but quite effective little horror comedy that tries (and succeeds) at easy audience manipulation! The universal fear of dental pain will be amplified after just one viewing of this gorefest!

As Dr. Alan Feinstone, Corbin Bernsen turns a marvelously deranged performance in "The Dentist". With his already obsessive compulsive tendencies in high gear, the IRS hounding him, and a very suspicious acting wife; Dr. Alan Feinstone is losing his sanity more and more each day. When the Doc indeed does realize that his wife is having an affair with the local pool boy, it sets off a string of events that lead to torture, murder, ant total mayhem! "The Dentist" is a solid film! Bernsen makes the character of Dr. Feinstone relatable and hateable at the same time. Even though he is completely out of his gourd, the audience will still feel sympathy towards him. That my friends.....is damn good acting. A nice solid cast of supporting actors round out this gem of a film. Excellent direction, good killings and gore, and effective pacing will keep you entertained throughout the movies run. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I don't know how to describe this movie. It's definitely one of the weirdest movies I've seen in a long time. It is very unsettling at times but also boring in other places. The scenes of dental torture are very elaborate and may attract anyone who's into gore & splatter. I found myself holding my teeth during some of the aforementioned scenes. The clever thing about the movie is that it plays with our fears and The Dentist is therefore quite unsettling. The humor of the film is somehow hidden and may not be recognized by everyone. But if you're a fan of weird and strange entertainment and teeth getting drilled to dust this is just the film you were looking for. If you read the comment and feel somehow attracted by this kind of entertainment, give it a try! My rating: 4/10 (maybe a little too weird for my taste)

Doctor Feinstone is a dentist.He has a beautiful wife and a huge house with a pool.Suddenly he discovers that his wife is making out with the pool attendant-he realises that behind everything clean,there is decay.He starts to torture his patients...Corbin Bernsen is brilliant as the deranged dentist-he is completely believable.There is surprisingly little gore but the scenes of dental torture are quite nasty and grotesque.Highly recommended."The Dentist 2" is also worth checking out!

The team that brought you "Reanimator" made this intriguing horror movie that's quite different than the style of their past films. Movie is more concerned with building up to a select few "shock" scenes and the exploration of the mental breakdown of the title figure. However, the time spent on this material between the "shock" scenes is never boring, and actually has some genuine humor. Be warned, though - the eventual gore scenes are *extremely* stomach-churning, even for those who laughed at movies like "Dead-Alive". (Strangely, the most repulsive scene in the movie has no gore in it.) It's hard to believe this movie got an "R" and not "NC-17"! T.D. is a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see the sequel!
