Dementer Blu-Ray

A LIFE IS GIVEN, A DEVIL IS BORN ...

The acclaimed director of the indie horror film Jug Face (aka The Pit), Chad Crawford Kinkle, is back with Dementer, a psychological horror thriller that has been called "an unexpected gem" (Pophorror.com) and "an impressionistic, poetic occult horror film" (Nashville Scene).

Katie (Katie Groshong, Jug Face, A Measure of the Sin) flees from a cult that has scarred her both physically and mentally and is eager to get her life back on track. On her road to recovery, she takes a job at a care center that helps adults with special needs, including Stephanie (Stephanie Kinkle), a woman with Down syndrome. Katie is convinced that the "devils" are after Stephanie and is haunted by flashbacks of her experiences in the cult and with its leader Larry (Larry Fessenden, The Dead Don't Die, Habit) and takes increasingly extreme measures to ward off the evil that is making Stephanie sick. But what if her rituals do more harm than good? Demented is a bold and fearless tale of life on the fringes of society and a battle against demons both inside and out. Filmed on location with many non-actors playing versions of themselves—including Kinkle's sister Stephanie —this is a deeply personal genre film with an emotional impact that lingers long after the credits have rolled.
