Dementia (also released as Daughter Of Horror) is a film noir style romp through a young woman's insanity. There is no dialogue, only the narrator (Ed McMahon) speaks, against a musical backdrop.
The film is perhaps most famous for its appearance in The Blob, where it is the movie playing in the theater when the Blob strikes.
As the narrator invites us to explore the horrors of an insane mind, a young woman wakes from a nightmare in a cheap hotel room. We follow her through the skid-row night and encounters with an abusive husband; a wino; a pimp and the rich man he panders for; a flashback to her traumatic childhood (she killed her father after witnessing him murder her mother); violence; pursuit through dark streets… Again the young woman wakes up. Was it only another nightmare?
