When Francis Ford Coppola was in Corman-school, roughly ten years before his epic "Godfather" movie, he was ordered to create a low-budget thriller that would be able make some easy money from the success of films like Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" and Robert Aldrich's "What ever happened to Baby Jane?". And so he did - putting every stylistic ingredient known from such movies into "Dementia 13", and generously adding some extra flavor here and there. The result is a wild, and very psycho, thriller, that is considerably less polished than "Psycho", but in terms of creativity and anarchism has a lot in common with for example "Evil Dead" or "Braindead".
For fans of dark, crazy thrillers, "Dementia 13" is a must see and highly enjoyable to watch, and for fans of Francis Ford Coppola it is an important piece of film history, being Copolla's first feature directing work.
