The premise
Dr. Alan Feinstone has everything: a beautiful wife and a successful career in dentistry. However, when he discovers his wife's affair, he realizes that behind every clean, white surface lies the stench of decay.
Horror Vault's take
A respected dentist with a picture-perfect life begins to crack when a devastating personal betrayal shatters his carefully constructed world. What follows is a chilling descent into madness as his dental chair transforms from a place of healing into something far more sinister. Director Brian Yuzna leans hard into the primal dread most people already feel about the dentist, weaponising that vulnerability to genuinely unsettling effect. Corbin Bernsen delivers a memorably unhinged performance as a man whose grip on reality — and professional ethics — slips completely.
