Years ago demented dentist Dr. Alan Feinstone was sentenced to spend his life in a maximum security mental hospital. Now, he's escaped and determined to practice-AGAIN. Resettled in the tiny farm town of Paradise, the good Doctor conveniently disposes of the local dentist and he's open for Business! Within moments of wielding a scalpel on his first patient, he is transformed into his former deranged self. The more patients Alan sees, the more brutal his cleaning techniques become. When a few residents suspect something peculiar about the town's new dentist, Alan vows to treat them all before they drill up his chilling past. (official distributor synopsis)

I managed to see about 0.005% of this movie when I was rewinding the cassette to watch Face/Off. I saw a bit of one scene (an operation?). Since then I have been scared to death of going to the dentist and I don’t want to see this movie ever!

The Dentist II seems like a weaker sequel to me, lacking any proper culmination, even though the last scene is at least somewhat entertaining. The setting is good, but the whole thing is too repetitive to really entertain me. It's quite a shame because there was potential for the character here, but when it just treads water, it becomes somewhat pointless and you end up getting bored.
