We told you back in June that IFC Midnight had picked up the rights to Mike Testin’s old-school horror flick Dementia, and today we have a date for you to mark down to make sure you don’t miss a dizzying second of it!
Look for it on December 4th on VOD and in limited theaters. Gene Jones (The Sacrament), Kristina Klebe, Peter Cilella (Resolution), Richard Riehle (Texas Chainsaw 3D), Marc Senter (Red, White & Blue), Graham Skipper (Almost Human), Molly McQueen (Carjacked), Tony Denison (“The Closer”), and newcomer Hassie Harrison star.
Diagnosed with dementia, war veteran George Lockhart (Jones) must deal with his estranged family. Son Jerry (Cilella) and granddaughter Shelby (Harrison) force him to hire a live-in nurse (Klebe), only to find she harbors a sinister secret.
From producers Raphael Margules and J.D. Lifshitz: “Our goal with Dementia was to create a new, unique experience in psychological dread and terror, having more in common with films like Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? or Repulsion than the latest ghost/found footage/torture movie. A horror film with real characters, drama, and tension, with scares coming from suspense and atmosphere, rather than jump scares and general gratuity. If Contracted made people afraid of being intimate with strangers, Dementia will make them afraid to trust people altogether.”
