Dementia 13
Are you afraid of death by drowning? Have you ever attempted suicide? Have you ever thought of committing murder?
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Produced by The Filmgroup, Roger Corman Productions
An early proto-slasher that blends psychological scheming with gothic horror, building paranoia and dread through a family's dark secrets and an unseen killer.
A scheming widow hatches a bold plan to acquire her late husband's inheritance, unaware that she is being targeted by an ax murderer who lurks in the family's estate.
