In 1996 we were introduced to our psychotic dentist played by Corbin Bernsen, a man drove insane by the stresses of his job and catching his wife blowing the pool boy.

Two years later he breaks free from the asylum, switches state, changes his name and starts all over again.

But before you know it his inner darkside is unleashed and he torments his victims in the way that only he can.

This is a slight improvement on the first but still not exactly impressive stuff. The one standout thing that it does have is just how grisly and hard to watch the death scenes are. I mean seriously, it's pretty bad.

Harmless enough watch for fans of the original but as a franchise its hardly worth the effort especially as part 3 was cancelled.

The Good:

Direct sequel

The Bad:

Not the easiest of viewing

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I may never go to the dentist again

In this sequel to the surprisingly enjoyable 1996 original, Dr. Feinstone (Corbin Bernsen) escapes from a mental institution and heads to small town named Paradise. Continuing the IRS sub-plot from the first movie, Feinstone assumes the identity of Dr. Lawrence Caine - an identity concocted by Feinstone so that he could secretly stash away his assets without fear of the tax man getting to them. Caine (as he is now) pretends to have retired from big-city dentistry but is soon asked to become the town's dentist after the previous one is killed in an apparent accident. Caine reluctantly accepts the job, but soon falls to his psychotic urges and another brutal bloodbath begins.

This sequel unfortunately removes much of the fun elements that were so apparent in the original. Instead, 'The Dentist 2' seems to be more of an attempt at portraying Feinstone/Caine's activities from a more psychological standpoint. While the lack of background somewhat harmed the original, the over-emphasis on Caine's madness is what makes this movie rather tedious. As in the original, there are some shocking, gory and repulsive scenes of dental torture that should please gore fans but, alas, the movie's pacing is so slow that it becomes a chore to watch. The movie also suffers from multiple moments of implausibility, particularly at the very end where the film becomes so abstract and bizarre that one is left to question what was originally established; this is not a good thing. For all the storytelling and plot-flaws, Yuzna's direction is on-par once again and in the few moments where 'The Dentist 2' picks-up, the movie does become exciting and intriguing. Unfortunately these moments are spaced far too far apart from each other.

Corbin Bernsen is excellent once again as the sadistic, and seriously disturbed, dentist. Without Bernsen's exceptional ability at bringing to life the character of Dr. Feinstone/Caine I'd have to believe that this movie would come off as far worse than it is. Once again Bernsen credibly and convincingly portrays the almost demonic dentist and relies very little on the supporting cast. Linda Hoffman also returns as the unfaithful wife, but the story which brings her into the film seems completely tacked on just to give her a role. Jillian McWhirter was surprisingly good as the sexy love interest for Bernsen and is the only character the audience can really feel any sympathy for. The rest of the cast were very poor in their roles, though one may question if that had much to do with the script. It was virtually impossible to empathise with any of the characters unlike the original. At some points it was almost painful to watch and one wished that Feinstone dispatched his victims much quicker than he actually did.

Despite a far more sadistic Feinstone character and some good effects and death scenes, 'The Dentist 2' was relatively dull and retained little of the charm that the original possessed. For fans of 'The Dentist' (1996) this film is worth watching once, though I think that many will be disappointed. Bernsen's performance is the main highlight and although it is easy to find the over-emphasis on Feinstone's mental problems an annoyance, Bernsen's performance makes it somewhat tolerable. 'The Dentist 2' is a slow paced yet occasionally interesting and generally well directed movie. My rating for 'The Dentist 2: Brace Yourself' – 4/10.

Corbin Bernsen returns as the dentist who snapped when his wife had an affair and killed a bunch of people in gruesome fashion. Our "hero" manages to escape prison and resume life as a dentist in a quiet, unsuspecting suburban town with a police force that makes a soap opera cop look smart.

The cast has few notables beyond Bernsen, but his over-the-top performance takes this film to the mediocre yet very bloody and gory heights it aimed at. We don't get a movie that tries to be great, or even acutes who take the plot that seriously. What we get is what we expect: to be thrilled, chilled, repulsed, and petrified by the mixture of murder, mayhem, and dental equipment.

That we laugh and cheer when the hapless innocents are so deliciously dispatched in films like this is something for the psychs to wonder about, but until they figure it out, I'll be hooting and hollering right along with them.

If it didn't have tons of killing and gallons of blood, it would be good clean fun, but instead this movie is just good fun. Good, gory fun.

Enjoy when you have nothing better to do and want to see some torture and killing on screen.

Brian Yuzna is cast as a saviour by genre fans, and "The Dentist 2", along with the cherished "Society" might give you some idea why. Although the film offers little that could not be found in its prequel, it is somewhat better made, efficently exploiting dentophobia and riffing on the trust involved in a doctor-patient relationship. For the gorehounds, suffice to say three of the four people I watched this with walked out in disgust: taking the place of traditional death sequences are gleeful bouts of unanaesthetised dental destruction, performed with the aid of convincing models in unflinching close up. By this second outing Corbin Bernstein is really inhabiting the role of Dr. Feinstone, and his affectionately campy turn provides the film with much of its drive and humour. in one hilarious sequence he desperately admonishes himself in the shower: "nutCASE, nutBALL, wacko, loony..."

Though self evidently not to all tastes, this film certainly hits a nerve (sorry, that was accidental) and is made with some intelligence and respect for its intended audience. check.

...but not worse than the first Dentist. Actually, I think this sequel is even slightly better than the original (a rare thing to happen in the horror genre). Sure, there's nothing new about this film, but as I already told you: it's not worse than the first.

Dr. Feinstone (Corbin Bernsen) has escaped a mental hospital and continues his work in a small town called 'Paradise' after getting rid of the local dentist. But soon his itchy drill finger starts to mutilate his patients in another series of disgustingly elaborate drill & kill scenes.

Again, Corbin Bernsen does an excellent job as the psycho-dentist. And again, this film delivers very weird entertainment and gore galore. The ending leaves the possibility of another sequel.

If you have a slightly sick sense of humor you might like it, especially if you liked the first Dentist.

My rating: 4/10

After escaping from a mental institution, Dr. Allen Feinstone (Corbin Bernsen) moves on to the small Midwestern town of Paradise and becomes Dr. Lawrence Caine. Unsuccessfully trying to fight off personal demons and homicidal thoughts, the deranged doctor finally snaps, kills the town's only dentist and takes over his business, which results in several gory murders. Meanwhile his ex-wife Brooke (Linda Hoffman, returning from the original) is out for revenge.

This direct-to-video sequel manages to out repulse the previous entry with lots of gory close-ups of teeth being yanked out or chewed up with a drill, needles going into skin, cut out tongues and more. Most of the supporting cast are as grating as the non-stop dental tool background soundtrack. If you want gore and no more, you got it here.

Now seriously, I'm not the type of guy who complains every time a villain doesn't make it through a movie with his life. There have been plenty of great movies with excellent antagonists who I am am glad survived their roles. Dr. Alan Feinstone is definitely not among them. As anal and irritating a character as he was in the first movie, (though I don't blame Corben Bernsen for that. He did the best he could with the script he was given.) the mad dentist goes about pretty much the exact same path of seemingly pointless destruction as he did in the first, and for pretty much the same reason. This banal rehash of the original film brings pretty much nothing new to the equation, and the lack of bitter, demanding, dentist cadaver at the end of the blood bath just makes the entire piece a complete wash. Afterall, the least they could do for making us sit through the same mind numbing gratuitous dental shock fest twice is give us a mutilated maimed and dismembered title character at the end and deliver the sanctity of knowing for certain that there will never be another. Overall, it was awful, and even if the last fifteen minutes were a brutal ongoing death scene for Dr. Feinstone (which would have made the piece at least palatable, I'll admit.) this movie still couldn't hope to get more than a three and a half.

"The Dentist 2" is almost as good as its predecessor.It is slickly made and features some truly grotesque scenes of dental torture.I agree that the scene when Corbin Bernsen tortures a woman is pretty vicious,but I wasn't offended or shocked.Even "Marathon Man" has more powerful torture scenes.Anyway I found this film entertaining and enjoyable,so it's a worthy addition to your horror collection.Recommended,if you like Brian Yuzna's stuff!

Corbin Bernsen's psycho dentist escapes from the mental hospital and hides out in a small town where he soon picks back up where he left off, namely torturing and killing people. Gross sequel is not surprisingly a poor follow-up to the original, which wasn't exactly Nightmare on Elm Street to begin with. The biggest flaw with this one is that it's not much fun. It's also pretty dull and offered nothing new, just more gore and more gruesome deaths. I'm not naive enough to think that wasn't the target audience they were going for with this. Obviously people who watch for that stuff first and foremost will probably like it more than I did. I don't mind some gore, certainly not when done creatively and not like it came from the mind of a fifteen year-old boy. But when that's all a movie has or even tries to have...well, that bores me. See it if you really loved the first one. But if, like me, you only thought the first one was passable then don't bother with this mediocre sequel.

I loved this movie. I did not like it as much as the first one, but it is still a good movie. Most sequels are horrible, but this one is almost as good as the first one. I liked how the director filmed Dr. Caine doing dental work in Jamie Devers mouth. It's incredible how they do these camera angles!

I watch a crap Ton of horror movies and this is a decent sequel to the first Dentist. Really not much difference other than the cheesy ending. Still, to have such a good actor like Corb is such a win for even a flawed script.

It seems like a sequel made by a first time director, gone are the interesting side characters and weird tone building of the original, so, not great, usually I like slow burn horror movies that pay off in the end, but this one was just weak

Debuting on HBO like the first surprise, this is a pretty good sequel that brings that lunatic dentist (Corbin Bernsen) back in business after escaping a mental hospital and hiding in a quiet town, where he murders the dentist around the town because the guy did a poor job at filling one of his teeth in. He impresses the people in town and woos a lady he's madly in love with, but then goes psycho and takes his madness out on his patients when he finds the girl he loves kissing a guy. There are scenes that make you laugh and dentist torture scenes that will make you cringe. Corbin Bernsen is great as the dentist and delivers a lot of good lines. Between the first and second half, the pace moved a bit slow, but if you liked the first one and can take watching close-ups of teeth being either drilled or yanked out, you should enjoy this strange, campy film.

Although the film offers little that could not be found in its prequel, it is somewhat better made, efficently exploiting dentophobia and riffing on the trust involved in a doctor-patient relationship.

We've could have guessed it... The Dentist was brought out in 1996 and gained rather much success. That was quite normal because it was a relief in the disappointing decade of the 90's (disappointing for the genre of horror, that is) This film was original, funny in a black kind of way and very disturbing (because...it could happen, you know !!) So, it became a small success, especially in the rental market. You know what that means in Hollywood...sequel !!! the sooner the better !! This film really should be skipped, I think. It's exactly the same story, only a different setting. Dr Feinstone changes his name, travels to a small village (called Paradise...hmmm) falls in love with local blond babe, takes over the practice of the old dentist (this person died in a horrible "accident")and then he snaps again. That's it. More from the same, except a whole lot worse. Corbin Bensen returns as the freaky dentist and also his wife from the first film still has her part. She still wants revenge for what he has done to her and sends a private detective after him. All the fun has gone. The only interesting scene in the Dentist 2 is the small part of Clint Howard. In the first film, you actually felt sorry for his victims. Not in this one...You want everybody to die as soon as possible. Including the dentist himself. But he doesn't of course. Very stupid ending, by the way... I can't believe Brian Yuzna did this. I really respect him as a director but this is low. I guess he couldn't resist the big bucks. Oh well, who could blame him, everybody there does it. NEXT !!!

"You just couldn't have your tooth ache somewhere else, could ya?"

The mad dentist escapes, and for awhile, seems relatively sane again, living under an assumed name in small town Missouri. Then something gets under his teeth and it all goes horribly wrong...again. This sequel is pretty much on par with the first, except the running time seems excessively long, they could have extracted a few scenes to trim it up.

I was very much reminded of Stepfather II (1989) when watching this dull sequel. A lot of the interesting story and psychosis of the dentist was lost in favour of a boring serial killer story and predictable insanity. This was just not as gross as the original and not as interesting to watch. If there was a lot more killing then this would have been a fantastic sequel. Brace yourself as this is not really worth watching even if you've seen the first one.

I found this film plot-less and plain boring. There was no storyline whatsoever and the only good thing about this film is the humour, which wasn't very frequent. The film is meant to be a horror and Teletubbies would be more frightening than this!

Already I'm quite biased to this film as it is one of my all time faveourite horrors (and Brian Yuzna rules). However, this film still provides 90 odd minutes of mouth-bleeding madness for those who just want a bit of horror entertainment. If you enjoyed the first Dentist, this is well worth checking out as it eclipses the original movie by far, upping the ante in terms of gore, madness and bonkers direction courtesy of splatter master Brian Yuzna. However, if the you thought the first Dentist was awful or (if you're squeamish) a bit too gory, stay well away! This is definitely not for the faint hearted. All in all, a superb sequel to an ace original and well worth checking out if you're a horror fan (even if you're not I recommend it though).

My fan-boy rating- 10/10

Corbin Bernsen is back! This time the good doctor escapes the mental asylum and ends up in a new town, Paradise. He's got a lock box at the local bank with cash and documents with a new identity. Lawrence Cane is the new name. Dr. Cane settles into the community of Paradise nicely in the beginning. He still has delusions, but he tries to keep them at bay.

Dr. Cane rents a place from a nice young woman that reminds him of his wife Brooke. Lawrence keeps things under control at first, but jealousy over another man and a local gal from the bank snooping on him make him snap.

In the meantime, Brooke has fired a private detective to locate her husband so that she may try at get revenge on him.

If you liked the first movie you might as well check this one out too.

OH MY GOD!! I can't believe any movie could be worse than the previous Dentist. CRAAAAAAAAP!!

This one gets a -1000 out of 10 from me.
