Dementia
After being diagnosed with dementia, an elderly war veteran is forced by his estranged family to hire a live-in nurse, only to find she harbors a sinister secret.
Why it matters
A claustrophobic descent into aging paranoia, where memory loss blurs the line between victim and predator.
- Anchored by a quietly intense lead performance that captures the erosion of identity and trust.
- Practical effects and tight framing amplify the suffocating atmosphere of isolation and confusion.
- A slow-burning psychological thriller that taps into eldercare anxieties rarely explored in horror.
- Best for fans of intimate, character-driven horror who appreciate mood over gore or jump scares.
