A bottom of the heap amateurish loser, "Dementia" suffers from just about everything from its journeyman cast to its lousy directing to its awful screenplay to its obvious shoestring budget. Not worth the time. (D+)
Intense and very interesting for a low budget film.
Photography very good.
Acting of Matt Schulze, Azura Skye excellent. Other cast good too.
Very intense story, as a mental patient looks like easy pickins for the nurse's psycho boyfriend.
Would recommend it to anyone who enjoys horrific thrillers.
The beach atmosphere could have been more developed, and I would like to have seen more subplots, but it's low budget.
Could have gone further in experimentation---crazy stuff.
Not for everybody. Obviously misunderstood by these reviewers here.
Seen as a cult film as it is still around--which is a good category for it.

I found this movie to be quite a pleasant surprise. I thought this was going to be a low-budget/teenybopper loving/why did I buy this(?) flick. I bought for next to nothing so I didn't think I'd lose a lot if I hated it.
This movie caught my attention right away! I see half the people here disliking it. Okay. So, the plot is simple. There are holes but, so what? We're knowing what they are knowing of each other. Which is nothing. That's just fine. That's how things really are.
This movie is also so hot! It actually got me excited and it seemed like a very fun flick to make. I envy the people who got to star in this and I am going to recommend this movie to people who like twisted, sexual thrillers.
One thought I kept having throughout this was 'these people are so *demented*'.
I rarely give comments but, this was one that I just had to. I found the acting to be very fun and I think the director did a good job. This coming from a snob...

So i'm watching this in 2021 because of a random trailer of this film I found on YouTube and i have to say I'm impressed. Yes it's an indie budget but it's totally worth your time if your into twisted physiological thrillers. It sexy, twisted and intense. Loved Matt Shulze in this also, a really talented actor and he was super convincing in his role. To sum up, watch and support this indie movie!

The movie is the real deal and one of the best horror, thrillers i've seen in long time. Matt Schulze did an excellent job as did the rest of the cast and the plot and editing had me my edge. Worth the rent for sure!

Some really hot scenes with a spicy plot that had me wanting more. The tension between Matt Shulze and the two women is really well constructed and had me guessing to the end on what would happen next. This is why Dementia has a cult following, looking forward to more films like this from the director.

A great and unexpected film--not for everybody. Innovative and daring, quirky and brilliant. The tension of Matt Shulze and the two women is excellent--the script is completely unpredictable. It's an amazing ride. I've seen it twice now, and will see it a third time. You either love it or hate it.
The location is quite amazing, the west coast beach community, in the country... the remote location adds to the excitement when Sonny shows up to terrorize his ex-wife and the target.
Great film about greed and lust, and of course the scenes are very explicit, and thrilling.
I would recommend this film without hesitation, especially to those bored with the ho-hum movies cranked out by hacks.
Cheers.

THE PLOT: Okay, here's a quick rundown on the plot. The story is about Katherine, who's a heiress recovering from a mental breakdown, and her foreign nurse Luisa. As time passes a friendship begins to form between the two women and they become closer and, in time, attracted to each other. Things seem to be going good for a little while, until Luisa's sadistic ex-husband Sonny re-enters her life with a scheme to get back at Luisa and take over Katherines fortune. As his manipulative plan comes to life a twisted tale unfolds, a plan that can only end in murder.
FINAL THOUGHTS: In the end I was quite pleased with this movie. I was especially fond of Matt Schulze's acting, he played the part of a sadistic ex-husband very well. You gotta love the psycho's. I'd highly recommend this movie to anyone

A disturbing little film, not particularly well-executed except by Matt Schulze. His performance as the deranged-yet-compelling Sonny lifts the movie out of the trash can. The women are not convincing, and the supporting cast just seems lost, even Jesus Nebot, who's probably the best of the lot. For Matt's fans, this is worth watching simply for his performance, but anyone else will probably be bored.
Had a bit of everything and some of the scenes were really explicit and full on but I loved it. A super sexy and intense film about lust and greed. A real gem of a film.
