Customer Reviews

Disappointing!
After watching Yuzna's "Progeny", it is not hard to imagine how "The Dentist 2" should have been far superior to the former film. I was wrong - from the all too rushed storyline (Crazy doctor finally got out of jail... tried to get his life back but failed because he was indeed mentally sick), to the failed attempt at acummulating the tension of the final violent scenes (since the tension does not actually being built up, the last teeth massacre - there's only FEW of them - cannot revive this audience's spirit for liking the film), this film is a total waste. Yuzna's directing here is not as good as the more artistic effort of his in "Progeny", even though he uses interesting transitional devices like the irises and wipes that are uncommonly used in horror films (this sadly creates the "joking", "playful" nature of the film - though the subject of the film is indeed quite serious). Even the special effects of the film are disappointing (not much blood spurting around... nor any gum being rawly ripped). Who said that this film is only for the strong-stomached?

There are so many things that one can do in making a horror film on dentistry, and the killings shown here are very, very tame and lame. This film is not on a demented story about dentistry violence - it tends to fall towards the genre of black comedy. Maybe that is what Yuzna is after: Without success.

Pretty good, but nothing to get your teeth stuck into...!
The cover of the video drew me to this film,but don't expect too much. THE DENTIST 2 is pretty slow in places, but the gore and F/X are good, and it was funny in places. I haven't seen the first film and after seeing this I'm not sure I will bother, but it isn't a total waste of time. Gore hounds will like it. People who are sensitive of dentists...beware!

Dimented Dentists
This ones actually pretty funny and gory,If you rent it and dont expect too much,you'll love it.Everyone hates to go to the dentist,but this flick will make you lucky that you dont step into Corbin Bernsens office.The ending is pretty weird and lame.Watch it before your next cleaning!!
