The Dentist is ultimately a corny disappointment, which is unfortunate because the film had so much potential to be a truly unsettling psychological horror. Corbin Bernsen is incredibly game, throwing himself into the titular role with a manic, menacing energy that deserved a much sharper script. Instead, the movie trades genuine tension for campy, over-the-top gore and cheesy dialogue, squandering a perfectly terrifying premise that will leave horror fans wishing it had a bit more bite.

Shitty guy finds out his wife is cheating on him and becomes some sorta "punisher" for rot/decay. Not quite as much of a horror as I wanted. The tension building for him to finally crack is nice, but it doesn't really pay off how I'd hoped. The blowjob scene is hot and there's some decent mouth horror from the props/effects they made, but really just skip this one. Also what's wrong with his IRS agent man.
