Dementia is either a brilliant artistic statement or one of the most insane exploitation films ever made, and I'm not really sure which.

Other than dubbed in laughs and moans, Dementia is completely without dialogue, featuring only a strange musical soundtrack punctuated by the theremin-like vocals of Marni Nixon. The film begins with Adrienne Barrett (referred to only as 'The Gamin') awakening from a nightmare in her dilapidated apartment. She takes a switchblade from a drawer and sets out into the night. As she wanders around the city, she encounters 'The Evil One,' a sleazy pimp who winds up connecting her with 'Rich Man,' an equally scummy figure. She experiences hallucinations and visions that contribute to her paranoia and, seemingly, a hatred of men. In one vision, she travels through a graveyard, being led by a hooded man who reveals her nasty childhood to her by resurrecting the spirits of her abusive parents. Eventually, she murders Rich Man, and in the process descends deeper into madness, running from imagined fears and the local police. Is this for real, or is she merely hallucinating again?

Variety called it "the strangest film ever offered for theatrical release," while Preston Sturges assessed it "a work of art," hastening to add that "it stirred my blood and purged my libido." Walter Winchell urged moviegoers to "take the kids! (the ones you want to get rid of)," while the normally staid French cinéaste journal Cahiers du Cinéma concluded "to what degree this film is a work of art, we are not certain but, in any case, it is strong stuff."
