This weekend is all about Michael Dougherty’s Krampus, and if you’re the sort of fan who craves more original horror on the big screen, I implore you to head out to your local theater and support it. But it’s not the only horror film out today, as IFC Midnight has just unloaded Dementia.
The feature debut of cinematographer Mike Testin (Contracted), the Misery-inspired thriller was written by Meredith Berg and stars Gene Jones (The Sacrament, No Country for Old Men, The Hateful Eight), Kristina Klebe (Halloween), Peter Cillela (Resolution), and Hassie Harrison.
Synopsis:
A disabled war veteran is in bad hands when his family hires the live-in nurse from hell in this intense psychological shocker. George (The Sacrament’s Gene Jones) is an aging ex-soldier haunted by memories of Vietnam and struggling to reconnect with his estranged son and granddaughter. But when he suffers a stroke and is diagnosed with dementia, George is left in the care of Michelle (Halloween’s Kristina Klebe), a seemingly sweet nurse with a disturbing dark side. At the mercy of a psychopath with a hypodermic needle, George becomes a prisoner in his own home, caught in a sadistic game of cat and mouse as brutal as anything he experienced in Vietnam.
