    This movie gets stars for intense teeth drilling scenes, but that's what you expect, and there isn't much else.

    Sure, it's low budget...but still holds you on the edge of your seat.

    Bernson is great and the violence is surprisingly shocking and disturbing at times. Brian Yuzna pulls no punches when it comes to extreme situations and, if you like that kind of approach, you'll probably like this one.

    I don't like Dentist to begin with, who does. After this movie I like them even less. This is a Pretty Good Film from Lions Gate. The Sound of the Drill comes through my speakers and just sends chills up my spine. What the dentist does to those he wants out of his life will make ...( read more)you cringe. The instruments are enough to make you say oh H*#$ No. Its worth 3 stars and its worth a rental with friends. But to add to one's collection I think I will pass. 3 Stars

    Corbin Bernsen makes fun of himself........funny......and more realistic than people think. Dentist are very disturbed doctors.

    keep covering my eyes in this movie...
  • June 7, 2009
    Deeply deeply deeply disturbing in it's realism and it's shocking scenes of dental torture. It's a very pessimistic, heartless, cruel film and it depicts some of the most evil behavior I've seen in a mainstream horror film. I have no idea why so many people hate this film. I thou...( read more)ght it was scary as hell!

    If this is the movie that I think it is from On Demand, then it was... hilarious. I believe it's STILL On Demand...

    "no information available"...further information isn't really necessary anyways...it's about a crazy dentist.
