The Demented

Demented (2021) is a bad movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a recently engaged young lady who is kidnapped, raped and tortured. While held hostage she has visions that warn her of things to come and things that have happened. Can a determined detective find her before it's too late?

This movie is directed by Nigel Hartwell (Dead by Dawn) and has a horror all star cast that consists of Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Bret Hart (WWF), Ari Lehman (Friday the 13th), Angel Williams (TNA) and Dakota House (North of 60).

I never thought I'd watch a movie with Felissa Rose and Bret 'The Hitman' Hart, but here it is. The storyline for this picture is pretty crazy, fairly straightforward but wild at the same time. The writing, acting and dialogue is very bad. The killer is annoying and you can't take anything he says seriously. The horror elements are dreadful and the CGI blood and throat slash scenes are a 0/10. While this has an all star cast, they are all way under utilized.

Overall, this movie is terrible but it was worth watching due to the random cast. I would score this a 3/10 but recommend seeing once.

Wow this film... I have no words. This is just weird snuff porn made by someone with a camcorder and green screen. Absolutely insane and badly acted. Can't believe this was once an option to BUY! Avoid like the plague.

Obviously the producer's barely disguised fetish with use of racial slurs, terrible dialogue, sex over horror, terrible special effects, etc, etc.

This is terrible and I just hope this gets lost and no one watches it accidently, the story makes no sense and seems like a poor excuse for the actor who plays "Chuck" to grab the breasts of the actresses, the story is too static and only takes place in the cabin for the majority of the time, I got nothing much else to say it was just maybe a waste of time either maybe worth it for how bad it actually was, I can't decide much on it and that's a problem.

The Demented do not have good intentions (no pun intended), the movie is the one who has them. Tackling a topic (again no pun intended with the wrestlers attached to this) like the one here, is not an easy feat. Spinning a bit and trying to make it special with twisting things up a bit (in the way it is told) is a neat feat too.

Still the movie has quite a few flaws to say the least. Even though we have some horror icons, there are more than a few cringe worthy moments. And then there are the not so easy things to endure. They are necessary for the story, but how much do you really want to see? And how much is necessary to drive home a point? Exactly - it does not go into exploitation territory, but it still is way out there. Your own sensible self will determine if this is something for you ... or maybe if you are a fan of one or more actors/celebrities in this.

Don't expect to see memorable kills or blood with this one. Overall, Demented has a very interesting story that could have been something a lot more than what it is if they would have embraced the snuff angle a little more. The snuff angle paints scenes of gore and mayhem for most horror fans but in Demented we get a masked man and a woman tied to a bed while not so vile or vulgar things are said to them. The killer is very underwhelming and the paranormal portion of the film lacks atmosphere and tension for it be effective. I respect the hard work that went into this one but I'm not a fan. As always, you should make up your own opinion about the film and not let my review do that for you.
