SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

jtncsmistad You may well recognize Gene Jones from any number of movies ("The Sacrament", "No Country for Old Men") but you likely don't know his name. Such is the lot of a character actor. Jones is exceptional as he takes the lead in the horror drama "Dementia". His interpretation of George Lockhart, a crusty codger with a horrifying past, is both affecting and ultimately chilling. Other than that Hassie Harrison as Lockhart's granddaughter is unbearably adorable. And we get further substantiation that Vietnam irrevocably f'd up the lives of far too many.Like every other damn war before, since or that may ever be.

Brandon When an elderly Vietnam vet, George, begins suffering from dementia, his estranged family hire a live in nurse to take care of him. However the nurse harbors a sinister secret and has an agenda for agreeing to take care of the man.The story kept me engaged the whole way through and was all around good. The ending was easily predicted but I don't feel like it was meant to be a big mystery and the story doesn't suffer at all from you knowing it. There was one element to the ending that I didn't see coming and was surprised they went that way (in a good way).The acting is the highlight of the film for me. George Lockhart and Kristina Klebe's roles notably. Lockhart plays the role of a dementia suffering veteran convincingly and switched between the characters various emotions expertly. Between this and her role in PROXY (2013), Klebe has proved that she can play bad ass women with streaks of madness to a T. Hassie Harrison and Peter Cilella do well with their roles as the distant family members and then you have the always excellent, Richard Riehle, as George's friend.I did feel like thinks kind of wrapped up a bit too early once things get revealed and it could have used a bit more expanding on that angle. All in all though I dug it and it's definitely worth a watch.

Seth_Rogue_One What was the point in drowning the dialogue in the end with superloud music so you couldn't even hear the big reveal?Or was that even intentional?My guess is that the revealing words simply was too trivial and the editors thought that the viewers wouldn't like it so let's just blast the violins.Other than that it had it's moments I guess, the old man was a decent enough actor... Awfully slow movie though but 'horror' movies with 'nothing happening' until the last 15 minutes are very popular these days.Yeah I don't know what more to say as I'm not sure what happened in the last 5 minutes because of the worst sound-mixing of all time.It wasn't great before it but acceptable (you could actually hear what the characters were saying after all) but my goodness felt like I was ripped off in the ending.

Amanda Mosier I really enjoyed this movie. The flow of the movie kept you interested and the characters were really easy to relate to. You feel for the family and everything they are going through. I really enjoyed the flashback scenes and how the camera portrayed George having an episode. The story kept me intrigued up until the very end. George was very convincing as someone going through dementia and having a tough time expressing what was going on in his head. Michelle which is played by Kristina Klebe done an amazing job as the nurse. At the beginning I was skeptical of her intentions but found myself encouraging her actions by the end. During the movie you really aren't sure who's good or bad. There aren't a lot of recent horror movies who bring to the table what this film did. A disturbing look into the eyes of revenge and regret.
