THE DENTIST stars Corbin Bernsen as the mild mannered, titular tooth puller, Dr. Alan Feinstone. He has a clean, comfortable practice, and a beautiful wife (Linda Hoffman) at home. His life couldn't be better.
Uh oh!
Said spouse is having a fling with the pool man, and Alan sees them together! Coming apart at the seams, the good doctor goes into free fall, causing him to seek bloody vengeance on not only his wife and the pool guy, but anyone unlucky enough to think he's still sane!
When Feinstone returns to his office, his "patients" receive nitrous oxide, and a VERY thorough cleaning! Feinstone's assistants suspect something, but just try to ignore it. The best, most over the top, gnarly scene involves a visiting IRS agent (Earl Boen), who gets far more than he bargained for!
Watch for Ken Foree as the cop on the case, and Virginya Keehne as the young girl who just can't seem to get in to see Fienstone. She does a good Jamie Lee Curtis turn during the climax, and has the best line of dialogue in the entire movie!
Recommended for those who have an unnatural fear of dentists. After watching this movie, no normal dentist is at all frightening...
