Oh yes! Brian Yuzna directs and Stuart Gordon co-writes (with 2 other guys) this movie about Corbin Bernsen as the title role of a D.D.S. who thinks that filth and decay are rampant! The poor guy goes wacky and starts killing people in VERY painful (yet very orally hygienic) ways! But, who can blame the poor sap! On his anniversary, he catches his wife goin' down on the pool boy, the IRS is breathin' down his neck, he's under suspicion for raping a babe while she was gassed out, and his nurses (one of which can shoot flames out of her ass!) are slackin' on the workload! So, he mutilates his wife and hacks up the pool boy, then he chokes out his nurse with pantyhose (happened to me once... okay, twice) and breaks the taxman's jaw before drilling the guy's tongue! However, a gorgeous piece of jailbait in a mini-skirt and white knee-highs (be still my achin' libido!) stumbles upon his work, and saves herself with, "I promise to brush 3 times a day and I won't eat any candy"! So, she lives, and Doc (he didn't go to school for 8 years to be called Mr.) Feinstine is later caught by the fuzz at a dental school. In an ironic twist he becomes a victim/patient at his new home, the local asylum! Look for Ken Foree as a detective while you watch your newly stolen copy of this movie! Now, off with you!

DVD X-tras: Bios and filmos for the cast (where I learned that Bernsen was in a similar "killer D.D.S." role in the made-for-TV flick, MURDER BY APPOINTMENT), as well as the trailer... nothing too spectacular, but I got it on e-Bay for $10, so what do I care?!
