The Dentist 2
The Dentist 2
An escaped mental patient poses as retired dentist Dr. Caine in Paradise town. His new life seems perfect until jealousy over his landlord Jamie triggers his murderous urges, just as figures from his past arrive.

The Dentist 2 drills even deeper than the original, doubling down on the oral mayhem and pushing mouth horror to molar-clenching extremes. Corbin Bernsen returns as the utterly unhinged Dr. Alan Feinstone, now escaped from an institution and practicing under the name Dr. Caine in a suspiciously trusting small town. There’s a pulp pleasure in watching dental instruments weaponized with to create full-blown periodontal panic attack. The sound design alone—the clacking of metal instruments against teeth is usually enough to give me goosebumps.
Not essential viewing, but if you’ve got a sweet tooth for nasty ‘90s horror sequels, this one bites in all the right ways.
