The Dentist Collection (Horror, Thriller)

Behind every clean, white surface lies the stench of decay. “The Dentist Collection,” which includes digitally restored versions of the ’90s’ horror thrillers “The Dentist” and “The Dentist 2,” will be released for the first time on Blu-ray Tuesday, Jan. 24, from Lionsgate.

Corbin Bernsen (two-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee for “L.A. Law”) stars as homicidal dentist Dr. Alan Feinstone. In “The Dentist,” Dr. Feinstone seems to have the perfect, ordered life — until the discovery of his wife’s affair with the pool boy sends him off the deep end, unlocking the killer inside. “The Dentist 2” finds the evil doctor in a maximum-security mental hospital — but not for long, as he escapes to a small town and turns his attention to a new love interest and new victims.

Both movies feature an audio commentary with director Brian Yuzna and special makeup effects supervisor Anthony C. Ferrante, a still gallery and trailer. Additionally, “The Dentist” features isolated score selections and audio interviews with composer Alan Howarth and director of photography Levie Isaacks, an interview with actor Corbin Bernsen (“The Doctor is Insane”), an interview with cowriter Dennis Paoli (“Medical Malpractice”) and interviews with Ferrante and makeup effects artist J.M. Logan (“Mouths of Madness”). “The Dentist 2,” meanwhile, includes isolated score selections and audio interviews with Howarth and editor Christopher Roth, an interview with actress Jillian McWhirter (“Jamie’s New Neighbor”) and an interview with producer Pierre David (“A Tale of Two Dentists”).

Violent Night (Action, Comedy, Crime)

From the producers of “Nobody” and “John Wick” comes “Violent Night,” available to own on Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, Jan. 24, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. The action-packed holiday flick is also now available on Digital and currently steaming on Peacock.

When a team of mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound taking everyone inside hostage, they are not prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus. David Harbour (“Stranger Things”) stars as St. Nick in the holiday romp, delivering some serious season’s beatings to save the family and the spirit of Christmas.

Directed by Tommy Wirkola (“Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters”), “Violent Night” also stars Emmy winner John Leguizamo (“John Wick”), Edi Patterson (“The Righteous Gemstones”), Cam Gigandet (“Without Remorse”), Alex Hassell (“Cowboy Bebop”), Alexis Louder (“The Tomorrow War”) and Beverly D’Angelo (“National Lampoon’s Vacation” franchise). The film comes home in a collector’s edition that includes over half an hour of never-before-seen bonus content, including a feature commentary with Wirkola, producer Guy Danella, writer Pat Casey and writer Josh Miller; deleted and extended scenes; and the behind-the-scenes featurettes “Quarrelin’ Kringle,” “Deck the Halls with Brawls” and “Santa’s Helpers: The Making of ‘Violent Night.’”
