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.

The film has slow start but managed to keep my interest. Starts off like most other horror films do travelling to a cottage deep in the woods! I was expecting this to be a slasher film by the poster art. But it ended up being a supernatural thriller with horrifying elements! More of an exploitation film into sex trafficking and the world and business of snuff films. I think this was good attempt of making a different type of horror instead of the classic slasher. Although the acting is bad at times, and clearly didn't have much of a budget there is a sense of realism and the message is very clear if you are a woman don't trust anyone.

I look forward to seeing the sequel to see where the story goes!

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.

It is clear that the guy who left the previous review didn't watch the film or is just someone that likes leaving bad reviews on everyone's films. Demented is not a documentary, it's a retro style horror film. It's worth a watch. Leave your comments on what you think about it!

Just no!

Where to start???

The film had the budget of a penny sweet shop and the kind of script that had been written by a child!

The acting was about as realistic as a Barbie doll and the plot had more holes in it than a pair of fish net stockings.

I can safely say that I feel the cast and crew owe me for the hour and a half of my life that I wasted watching this film and for the counceling I will need to recover from the garbage that is Demented.

Worst of all it ended with to be continued. To the writers, cast and crew please please please do not make or release a second part to this film.
