      Dr. Lawrence Caine: New game, Bevvie... truth... or tooth!

    • Alternate versions
      The 1999 UK video was cut by 51 seconds by the BBFC "to remove sadistic details". Deletions were made to close-ups of bloody detail and degrading/sadistic dialogue during the "Truth or Tooth" torture scene. The 2001 DVD featured the same cut print.

    The Dentist 2: Marginal improvement
    In 1996 we were introduced to our psychotic dentist played by Corbin Bernsen, a man drove insane by the stresses of his job and catching his wife blowing the pool boy.

    Two years later he breaks free from the asylum, switches state, changes his name and starts all over again.

    But before you know it his inner darkside is unleashed and he torments his victims in the way that only he can.

    This is a slight improvement on the first but still not exactly impressive stuff. The one standout thing that it does have is just how grisly and hard to watch the death scenes are. I mean seriously, it's pretty bad.

    Harmless enough watch for fans of the original but as a franchise its hardly worth the effort especially as part 3 was cancelled.

    The Good:

    Direct sequel

    The Bad:

    Not the easiest of viewing

    Things I Learnt From This Movie:

    I may never go to the dentist again
