pineycreek6 I first heard about Oral Fixation by some friends at work and that made me and my boyfriend see the movie. We both enjoyed it a lot. I felt the story was good and had some unexpected twists that kept me interested. I'm not usually a fan of horror movies, (I don't like excessive blood and guts) but this film had more psychological horror with some creepy gory parts. The main actress playing the part of Rachel Marks was very convincing as the crazy masochistic stalker. It was a good reversal to have the patient be the villain instead of the dentist since everyone hates the dentist. This dentist is trying hard to be the nice guy but keeps making wrong choices. Oral Fixation is a good small independent movie thriller, well directed and written by Jake Cashill. It was suspenseful and entertaining and I would encourage others to go and see it.

ElNino71 I'm amazed about the amount of negative comments regarding this movie. If I had to guess, I would say this film was made for about $100k. To me, an aspiring independent screenwriter and director, I think the end product was actually quite good. While the story may not be everyone's cup of tea (nor is it mine), the film production is very solid. And there were more than a few scenes that had me squirming in my seat. When I think about the big budget, major studio films that I've seen over the recent years that are a complete waste of viewers' time and studios' money, it makes me appreciate Oral Fixation even more. Is it going to win an Oscar? No, of course not. But, as a high quality low budget thriller, I have a lot more respect for Cashill and his crew than some of the big shots in Hollywood. I would definitely call Oral Fixation, a 'high value' production, that will keep you entertained throughout.

d-lewis476 You know....friends and family of the production team do a movie no favours by unrealistically raising expectations about it in reviews and suchlike. Far better give an honest statement of its strengths and weaknesses. I mean this movie was an OK effort...but then I am very tolerant of formulaic and unimaginative horror movies. Too much time on my hands. But reading the comments so far, I was naive enough to expect something special....which this movie, sadly, wasn't. Still thanks for entertaining me for an hour or so. Kinda. Now to fill up the required ten lines for an IMDb review. To discuss the plot maybe. Pointless really. Nothing too special there. Still. Bourgouis dentist falls prey to unrealistic psychotic woman. She pulls out some teeth. Not very exciting from thereon.

cpd-13 Through a friend, I got the chance to catch an early screening of Oral. I really didn't know much about it, but, hey, free movie and all, so why not check it out? It scared the crap out of me.The movie was great for a lot of reasons, but what I appreciated most about the film was the carefully orchestrated sense of dread that permeated the entire film. Most often these days, when a director wants to terrify you, he has some fast cuts to blood and gore, plus a couple screams tossed in for good measure. Oral is all about the psychological and the director and cast clearly understand that the best way to terrify someone isn't through more and more gore, but through the subtle twist of character and plot.
