Now seriously, I'm not the type of guy who complains every time a villain doesn't make it through a movie with his life. There have been plenty of great movies with excellent antagonists who I am am glad survived their roles. Dr. Alan Feinstone is definitely not among them. As anal and irritating a character as he was in the first movie, (though I don't blame Corben Bernsen for that. He did the best he could with the script he was given.) the mad dentist goes about pretty much the exact same path of seemingly pointless destruction as he did in the first, and for pretty much the same reason. This banal rehash of the original film brings pretty much nothing new to the equation, and the lack of bitter, demanding, dentist cadaver at the end of the blood bath just makes the entire piece a complete wash. Afterall, the least they could do for making us sit through the same mind numbing gratuitous dental shock fest twice is give us a mutilated maimed and dismembered title character at the end and deliver the sanctity of knowing for certain that there will never be another. Overall, it was awful, and even if the last fifteen minutes were a brutal ongoing death scene for Dr. Feinstone (which would have made the piece at least palatable, I'll admit.) this movie still couldn't hope to get more than a three and a half.
score 1/10
