The Dentist (1996)

✖✖✖✖✖

A friend and I were looking for a good horror movie to watch while she spent the night, so we went on the Movies On Demand channel under the section titled "slashers" to find one.
We stumbled across this particular one titled "The Dentist."
It sounded the best out of all the rest, and we both visit the dentist a lot, so we figured "This could be a good scare!"

Well, I'll just say it probably wasn't worth the $2.00 we payed to rent it.

It starts off with some really boring dialogue, but a lot of movies seem to do that, so we weren't too phased.
Then it's hinted that "The Dentist's" wife is cheating on him.
Hmm... this could get interesting...

I kid you not, there is a sex scene in the first 10 minutes of this movie.
And not one of those "gratuitous, but not gratuitous enough to be awkward" scenes like I described in "Scream."
No.
You could pretty much see this lady giving this guy a blowjob, just you can't see his dick.
It's pretty gross, and goes on for a good couple of minutes.

The rest of the movie is pretty stupid.
All of the acting is terrible, and the cinematography looks like a 90's music video.

There were a couple of parts where we got a bit uncomfortable (and mildly freaked) at the situation (i.e., "The Dentist" starts pulling out a kid's teeth without anesthesia), and there was one scene where "The Dentist" is slashing at someone with a knife and it's shot from above, making a really pretty scene to watch.
Other than that, not too great.

My final word:
I don't recommend it. It really didn't seem worth the time.
