Not the movie to watch before visiting the dentist. Not the strongest script but the horror elements were great and Corbin Bersen was a lot of fun, a stark contrast to his roles on L.A. Law and Psych. **3.0/5**

45/100 A prominent dentist begins to lose his mind when we sees his wife cavorting with the pool man and proceeds to take it out on his patients. Corbin Bernsen always makes a good psycho and he was the highlight of the film. However, the script didn't really give him much to work with nor did it provide any personality, banter, humor or wit to anyone else making the whole film rather flat and lifeless. The cringe worthy scenes were quite often hampered by bad make-up presenting them more as freakishly grotesque than realistic. Not a great effort. -- DrNostromo.com
