Review of Dementia 13 (1963) by Krista B — 14 Apr 2009
An extremely interesting and gravely underrated entry to the horror genre that weaves a remarkably tense tale of madness and betrayal. Everything about Dementia 13 screams masterpiece, from its surprisingly deep story to its chilling score.
Though its similarity to Psycho is obvious, Dementia 13 manages to attain a unique style and emerges undeniably its own. It's remarkable this has been written off as nothing more than a Hitchcock ripoff (although its ties to Psycho are undeniable), because this is truly a forgotten gem that deserves a lot of praise.
Absolutely recommended.
