Dr. Alan Feinstone is a rich and successful Beverly Hills dentist. In fact, he is so much more--a fine connoisseur of music, the owner of a palatial mansion, and the proud husband of a beautiful wife. There's only one problem--he's insane. Dr. Feinstone loves perfection, and he expects it of everyone. Unfortunately, no one is perfect. This unacceptable fact annoys the good doctor and leads him to commit his one small imperfection: murder. Murder is so messy, and Dr. Feinstone hates messes. But sometimes he just can't help killing a patient or two. (official distributor synopsis)

Downright disappointment. Little blood, little gore, the dentist office setting is criminally underused, lacking tension, lacking atmosphere and lacking a plot. And I refuse to add a star only for the name of the director, especially when the direction is generic most of the time. Below average.

Given the absurd subject matter and pure B-movie quality of The Dentist, it is actually rather entertaining. That is, if you know how to watch films without taking them too seriously, even if they have Mark Ruffalo in the cast.

"Dentista" is a good film, even though it may not meet your expectations. This really isn't something that is overly bloody, but I think that the chosen path of smaller naturalism is beneficial in this case. The dental chair is such a familiar environment that you can easily imagine the horror, and you may find yourself closing your eyes during certain scenes because otherwise you might feel really sick.
