The Dentist

                 This movie is as bad a pulling teeth. Oh wait that’s the titular’s characters job. It is a shame he hates it so much. That is the same way I felt about this movie. Granted, I more or less knew that, when I chose it from my free On Demand movies. Granted it stars Corbin Bernsen in the leading role and as the only recognizable face in this deplorable film. What exactly was his claim to fame, one TV show? How proud you must be.

            Lets get to the plot. I’m not sure that there was much of one to begin with. Alas,here we go; A disgruntled dentist goes crazy and starts torturing and killing people after he discovers his wife is cheating on him.

              The writers weren’t terribly creative in creating this character. Much like the character in this movie. Torture may be a more welcome fate than reading this script. (Action: Voluptuous blonde gets ravished by sexy pool hand. ) Where have I seen that before? I don’t know, I  forgot, I always try to blank out the bad memories. This movie is a bad memory. I just wish I could forget it.

            The acting is just pathetic, the writing inept and the the entire concept of knowing who the slayer is from the beginning, doesn’t that kill the point of the whole horror move concept to begin with? The title of the film should not tell you who the villian is. The whole idea of a good horror movie is never knowing until the end who did it, or how. That’s what adds an element of surprise to the film. I only wish that had spent the one hour and thirty two minute length of this film on a more fruitful endeavor. Like writing an acceptance speech for the Sarah Palin victory dinner. Oh Wait.
