About this movie

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. In his feature debut, director Mike Testin masterfully keeps the tension mounting - until it explodes in delirious violence.

Poorly developed plot, solid ideas but definitely lacking in execution. Decent acting though. Wish the ending was less predictable and didn't end without actually finishing the movie. Definitely disappointed, as there was a lot of potential there.

Just saw Dementia at a screening in NY. It was taughtly paced and gripping from beginning to end. Gene Jones get my nomination for best actor this year. Highly recommended!
