Bruno VeSota B Ben Roseman R Richard Barron E Ed Hinkle L Lucille Rowland What Dementia Is About
Dementia is an experimental noir shot entirely without dialogue or narration, built from suggestive violence and psychosexual imagery; it was banned by the New York State Film Board in 1953 and only released in December 1955. Distributor Jack H. Harris later re-cut it, stripped John Parker's director credit, and added narration voiced by Ed McMahon, releasing it as Daughter of Horror in 1957. Who it's for: anyone drawn to fringe American independent cinema and experimental cult horror tangled up in its own censorship history. Who it's not for: viewers wanting a conventional narrative structure and clear dialogue, since the film moves entirely through silence and image.
