Plots(1)
Dr. Alan Feinstone is a rich and successful Beverly Hills dentist. In fact, he is so much more--a fine connoisseur of music, the owner of a palatial mansion, and the proud husband of a beautiful wife. There's only one problem--he's insane. Dr. Feinstone loves perfection, and he expects it of everyone. Unfortunately, no one is perfect. This unacceptable fact annoys the good doctor and leads him to commit his one small imperfection: murder. Murder is so messy, and Dr. Feinstone hates messes. But sometimes he just can't help killing a patient or two. (official distributor synopsis)

Given the absurd subject matter and pure B-movie quality of The Dentist, it is actually rather entertaining. That is, if you know how to watch films without taking them too seriously, even if they have Mark Ruffalo in the cast.

Downright disappointment. Little blood, little gore, the dentist office setting is criminally underused, lacking tension, lacking atmosphere and lacking a plot. And I refuse to add a star only for the name of the director, especially when the direction is generic most of the time. Below average.

The Dentist is a good movie, even if it may not live up to your expectations. This really isn't something that's overly bloody, but I think the chosen path of lesser naturalism in this case works to its advantage. The dental chair is such a familiar setting that you can easily imagine the horror, and you'll find yourself squinting during some scenes because otherwise, you might really feel queasy.
