DEMENTIA (1955) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - John Parker

Written by - John Parker

Starring - Adrienne Barrett, Bruno VeSota, Ben Roseman

 

"A film without dialogue or sound about a young woman's nightmarish murderous night. This film is quite a mysterious experience. From the lack of sound to the decision of director John Parker not to credit himself, this film falls right between exploitation and experimental, and is quite an original cinematic experience, with some surprisingly meticulous photography and mise en scene. While the original film is delightfully unclassifiable, a re-release called Daughter of Horror with a cheesy narration exist, but ruins the very nature of the film and must be avoided at all costs."
