    Not better than the first, but a worthy sequel

    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.

    Same ol' game...

    ...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

    The Dentist 2: Marginal improvement

    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
    Dethcharm

    Dental Illness...

    Corbin Bernsen returns as the hilariously homicidal Dr. Feinstone in THE DENTIST 2.

    Upon escaping from the mental institution, Feinstone sets up shop in the small, rural town of Paradise. This is made easier by the "accidental" death of the town's dentist. Now, the unwary folks have no idea who it is that's poking around in their mouths!

    This time, Feinstone finds love with a local woman, only to have her cheat on him, just like his wife did. As in the first film, Feinstone goes into orbit, setting off a murderous cascade. Meanwhile, his now vengeful, ex-wife tries to track him down.

    While not as insanely fun as the first film, this sequel is still worthy of repeat visits. This is due entirely to Bernsen putting in another sublime, crackpot performance!

    Watch for Clint Howard and the amazing Wendy Robie!...

    Corbin Bernstin is ready for another round or torturing patients!!

    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.

    • Alternate versions
      The 1999 UK video was cut by 51 seconds by the BBFC "to remove sadistic details". Deletions were made to close-ups of bloody detail and degrading/sadistic dialogue during the "Truth or Tooth" torture scene. The 2001 DVD featured the same cut print.
