Le Dentiste 2

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.

This movie is basically the same as the first. He falls in love with girl, girl finds another guy, dentist takes revenge!! I'm not saying it wasn't any good but I am saying if you hated the first than you'll probably hate this one because there is not much difference but if you loved the first one then you'll love this one. Although his wife got her tongue cut off in The dentist I she is still alive and does she still want revenge in the dentist 2? Well find out and see The Dentist II. It gets ** stars out of 4.

...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

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.

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
