Has anyone seen "Dementia 13"? It's an excellent horror classic where a man dies of a heart attack, and this forbids his wife from getting any of his inheritance. So she forges a letter in his behalf, and then goes to her husbands ancestral home to make sure she gets a cut of the money. Bringing the note along for anyone who asks about her husbands whereabouts.
The note she writes says he's been called to New York City on important business. Once she gets to her husband birth place, Castle Haloran....she finds out his sister drowned in the pond nearby seven years earlier, and every year the family commits a morbid ritual to remember her. Her arrival just so happens to coincide with said ritual, and while there...she and the family begin to experience "dementia", aka a mental deterioration.
I thought this movie was scary as hell. Even for a guy like me who's a Chucky fan. It still amazes me that back in those days, there was no fancy visuals, no cgi, and yet they still managed to freak you out by just being simple yet effective with the story and the scares.

;You know, I bought DEMENTIA 13 a long time ago for really cheap because it was in this two-pack thing with the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. But I realize now that I never actually watched it! I'll check it out and get back to you.

You sound like me Michy. I've bought a ton of dvd's I've yet to watch. There's just never enough time in the day, week, or month. ''Dementia 13" I saw for the first time on tv about a week ago. It was a pretty good terror movie. It's being remade too. Not so thrilled about that.

dEMENTIA 13 has a terrible conclusion. The movie is one of those horror films that moves along perfectly and ends on a bad note.

Great movie. I dread the remake though, they'll never capture the films true essence of paranoia and fear.

I'll check it out and get back to you. "dementia 13" coupled with the original "notld"? That's a good pickup. #bravo8ny#
