Plot Synopsis

Dementia 13, set in a castle in Ireland, tells the story of the Haloran family. Lady Haloran, whose daughter Kathleen died in a drowning accident seven years ago, makes regular visits to her grave as part of a tradition. In her will, she has stated that everything must go to charity in Kathleen's honor, to the resentment of her son John and his wife Louise. If John dies, he receives no money. Unfortunately, he dies of a heart attack while he and Louise are out boating. Louise, unwilling to lose the inheritance, hides the body and visits her mother-in-law. Once she gets to the castle, things take a turn for the scarier when a mysterious axe murderer shows up.

Reviews

"Despite some inventive photography and decent gore for its day, its uneven pace renders it a curio for Coppola fans." — Ian Freer, Empirehttp://www.empireonline.com/reviews/review.asp?DVDID=117210

"For a film done on such an obviously low budget, it holds up surprisingly well. "Scott Weinberg, Apollo Guidehttp://www.apolloguide.com/mov_fullrev.asp?CID=3076

"It is surprisingly mundane despite its pedigree and production history – if the film was made by Francis Ford Jones, no one would care to remember it."Phil Hall, Film Threathttp://www.filmthreat.com/index.php?section=features&Id=2341

"Better than you'd think -- Coppola reveals his talent early." — Jeffrey M. Anderson, San Francisco Examinerhttp://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dementia_13/articles/795495/better_than_youd_think_coppola_reveals_his_talent_early
