Directed by Brian Yuzna. Written by Stuart Gordon, Dennis Paoli and Charles Finch. Starring Corbin Bernsen, Ken Foree, Molly Hagan, Mark Ruffalo and Linda Hoffman.
Plot: a dentist goes off the deep end after he catches his wife cheating on him.
Dr. Alan Feinstone (Bernsen) is not a very good husband. Unsurprisingly, he catches his wife cheating on him with the pool boy. And he goes crazy. He starts hallucinating and hurting people at work. He kills a woman’s dog (they don’t show much of it though). Then, he disfigures his wife and kills her lover, too. And when his staff picks up on something being off, he starts to kill them.
DJ didn’t watch this movie with me because he’s afraid of the dentist anyway and didn’t want to see anything graphic. I didn’t think the graphics were too too bad, but the movie itself is highly strange. Much stranger then I thought it was going to be. I mean, the end completely goes off track and I’m not sure what really happened. I think he was just still hallucinating or something like that.
The cast is decent though. There’s boob shots, too. But all in all, I wasn’t very taken with the film. It was weird for weird’s sake. I guess I shouldn’t expect anything else from Yuzna and Gordon though. They’ve compiled a list of strange movies (Re-animator, Society, Castle Freak, Dagon, etc.).
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
