The Dentist Ratings & Reviews
- Jordan JonesJanuary 8, 2026My main issues that I have with The Dentist...is that I found it really lame, lazy & basic, on the motive behind what made him snap!!!! Another really big issue I had was that, they really didn't capitalise on the title of the movie. Because most people have a phobia of dentists...it's a well known fact. So why not have most of the kills, be actually dentist related instead to live upto the films title. Corbin Bernsen was great in this...he's the big and main positive of this movie. Unfortunately imo everything surrounding him wasn't done and executed anywhere near it's potential. And again this movie could have been so much better...in terms of concept, motive and ultimately make us all feel afraid to go and see a dentist ever again!!!!
- David TelfordAugust 17, 2025Such sharp horror and gently leans into a little comedy to ease the brutal facts that are so unfound in life i did love that movie 🍿🎥
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025Corbin Bernsen plays a dentist that discovers that it’s actually the pool boy who’s been filling his wife’s cavities. 👉🏼👌🏼😬, and he sets out to extract revenge on her and all of his patients. Didn’t care for the story much, but have to admit that the mouth violence (particularly the sounds of it) were pretty great. Bernsen’s dentist is just crazy AF, though, and there’s apparently nothing Detective Low Rents Fishburne can do about it. At least, girl got her braces off. That’s a great feeling.
