Dementia: An Experiment in Terror

I agree with the other reviewer (Max) in this is a terrible film (or VIDEO since it was shot on video). It's SUPER clear to me that the people writing these 10 star reviews are the film makers themselves -- or friends. Especially filmteacher2000. Why don't you let the public actually decide if this is a good film and just read the reviews and not review them yourselves? This video is full of clichés - bad acting - and bad, bad, film making all together. I have to agree with Max in the fact that the use of the "news" reporter was comical, the voice distortion expected, the mask on the villain even more expected. And what was with the use of B&W & color? If I could give it negative stars, I would have given it -10. It doesn't deserve to be rated on IMDb.

This movie goes down as one of the worst I have seen -- even for a B flick. First of all the makers didn't really research the word dementia. The storyline and the characters do nothing in the terms of what true dementia is and how it affects people. The acting is bad, the camera work is bad, the editing is bad, the music is horrible, etc. etc. This "film" is full of clichés - the "demenita" specialist interview, the use of B&W to show a flash back, the use of the mask to hide the bad guys, the audio distortion on the dialog to make it more "spooky".

I sincerely can't imagine that the makers thought they were putting out a good piece of art. And I even further can't believe it made it on to IMDb -- I would hardly call this piece of trash a movie.

kind of weird and low quality, but i still liked it. It's funky and offbeat and not as violent as it should be, but it gets you thinking. This would probably be a very cool movie with a bigger budget too.

I could really see some remake with better actors. The acting is okay, but not great. The story is much better and the setting is strange. If you watch it and you like hostel, then you will probably like this, but it's not as bloody as hostel. Though the acting is about the same. I think this came out before that movie but i never saw it in theaters, i just rented it at a video store that has weird low budget things. If you like that kind of movie then you will like this too probably.

For the commenter that said that thus "sux" and that the definition of "dementia" was misunderstood --- Here's the Definition, and tell me that you have any idea that you know what you're talking about or actually watched this movie.

American Heritage Dictionary - n. 1. Deterioration of intellectual faculties, such as memory, concentration, and judgment, resulting from an organic disease or a disorder of the brain. It is sometimes accompanied by emotional disturbance and personality changes. 2. Madness; insanity.

Whether you like it or not, this movie is filled with "Dementia" -- sure it's goofy low-budget and if you have a clue and actually "get it" then you know the filmmakers weren't after art in your mind, but just entertainment.

If this ain't your bag, don't watch it. I bought it fully knowing what to expect (which wasn't much) and I got even more from this.

I am a devoted and life-long horror movie fan. Dementia: An Experiment in Terror, is one of the most genuine and authentic films, detailing confinement and torture, and the horrific effects it has on its victims and viewers alike. Watching this movie will actually transpose the viewer from the audience into the dungeon-like atmosphere where these atrocities take place.

Realistic and professional job of acting and direction has made this movie a potential cult phenomenon. Once the viewer is caught in this web, I am sure that their every movement will only increase their attention and focus, with the further potential to asphyxiate their very thought process.

This movie has actually changed my life...making me more acutely aware of my surroundings and the potential horrors that may be lurking at any moment...at any place...at any time...when I least expect it...

THIS MOVIE IS DOWNRIGHT SCARY!!
