Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

utgard14 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.

ray-280 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.

leesflat I actually didn't mind this movie, shot in a straight to video way, as was the original. Please don't watch this movie thinking that it is a scary movie, just get ready to cringe at the horrible torture scenes. The acting is poor, apart from Bernsen's performance which was great, this has been made not as a serious film but as a bit of a craic. Sick, sadistic and very cheesy in places, it is impossible not to wince at some of the scenes, but I thought it was OK, nowhere near as good as the original, but good fun all the same.The position of the ex wife is a bit weird, the only reasons for her being in the film was for the ending, a lot of rip offs from other movies, but some of the deaths are quite interesting. The ending was tacked on just in case the makers wanted to make a sequel, which I don't think that should be made, or in fact will be. Feinstone shouldn't turn into Freddy, Jason, Mike Myers (not Shrek!!) et al.6.5 out of 10

capkronos 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.
