the dentist be a really good thriller . and pretty disturb . i think we can all agree that the chance of run into a psycho dentist be much big than run into monster and vampire or zombie . that exactly why this movie be so scary . during this film and you will probably think about your own dentist a few time . whether he capable of do such thing . you good pray his wife doesn not cheat on him . that what the story be all about . a respected dentist in la snap when he find out his wife be cheat on him with the pool boy . ( that must be the great profession in the world and by the way . poolboys always take advantage of the housewife when the husband be at his work ) from then on our dentist and dr. feinstone and can only thing about take revenge . he can not concentrate on his patient anymore and a couple of them get hurt . thing aren not make easy for our dentist when he chase by an annoy tax controller and a curious cop and a suspicious staff member of his . at one point and dr. feinstone can not take it anymore . now he not only after his wife but after everyone who come near him . the dentist be write and direct by brian yuzna and co write by stuart gordon . you can take that a a recommendation to itself . these 2 person already give u a few great horror movie ( and personal favorite of mine ) like re animator and from beyond and society . with the dentist and they succeed once more to bring an entertaining and very chilling thriller . this film come right on time actually . the decade hadn not bring u many great horror film so far . i be not at all say this be a masterpiece and but it a nice change . corbin bensen be great a the dentist obsess by hygiene . i remember him mostly a a comedy or drama actor and but he can sure handle a psychotic character . the rest of the cast do good work too . the woman who play feinstone wife be really attractive . also and it be great to see ken foree act again . the actor from my all time favorite movie dawn of the dead play the cop in this film . yuzna cast him in from beyond too and 15 year ago and i thank him for that . i do not recommend this movie to everyone ( if you have a weak stomach and i will advise you to skip it ) but if you do watch it and you will enjoy it very much . you will be disgust . but that an extra reason and i think . it be a while since i be really freak out by watch a film . it a great topic to handle in the genre and yuzna do it in a great way . too bad this film be follow by a completely unnecessary sequel . my humble opinion on the dentist . positive .
