The Dentist 2



Is this one as good as the first? Well, almost. It's kind of more of the same, just with different characters in a small town called Paradise. And a woman named Jamie that looks pretty similar to Brooke (the wife from the first film) except not quite as attractive. Like that really matters. More teeth pulling, more putting people out with Novocain and gas... but the directing, acting, pacing and editing are all still intact and made for a fun watch as a sequel. I'm just not really sure that it really was necessary.

 This one was directed by Brian Yuzna too? Killer!

Clint Howard is in this as well? Yes!

Dr. Feinstone cut a hole in the side of his leg to hide a shiv inside of it. Clever. Painful, but clever.

Dr. Larry Caine? Am I missing something here?

Aww, poor emo. Cutting yourself in the middle of the night.

Wow, that waitress has hideous teeth.

This old coot of a dentist needs to see a dentist himself.

"You have a cavity at the gum line. It would be best if I fill it." Is it going to hurt?" "It shouldn't."

Cockroaches in the mouth!

Clint Howard bites it as expected.

Alan's starting to fall apart again. Right before my very eyes.

Don't worry about Jamie, dammit. You're not with her!

Oh, he's getting caught!

 I will say this. The scene were the doc drills a hole in Bev's molar to play a game of "truth or tooth" because she won't tell him the info he wants was kind of painful to watch. Every time she wouldn't cooperate he shoved the pick into her tooth and they made it look pretty damn excruciating. Corbin once again stole the show and played an excellent psychotic that just can't keep it together and can't let his demons go. Still, I just recommend sticking with the original. Let's setup an appointment and I'll see you in six months.
