Critic Reviews

John Stanley

It's over pretty fast, just 75 minutes, but it has its grisly moments and a few underwater sequences that are pretty creepy. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Francis Ford Coppola's first mainstream feature (after a few unremarkable skin flicks) is a little gem of gothic horror, stylishly helmed on a shoestring budget. Read full review

Chuck Bowen

Dementia 13 has always been a chilling and confident horror mixtape, fashioned by a man who was a few years away from consecutively producing four of the most famous of all American movies. Read full review

Bilge Ebiri

Despite the rough edges, you feel you’re in the hands of someone who enjoys telling a story, and knows how to do it — even when the story’s a disposable one such as this. Read full review

Collider Samuel Williamson

There's no question that it carries all the hallmarks of a low-budget Corman effort. That being said, there is the feeling in Dementia 13 that there's a filmmaker behind the camera that really cares about the story at hand. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

The location (an Irish castle) is used imaginatively, the Gothic atmosphere is suitably potent, and there's a wonderfully sharp cameo from Patrick Magee as the family doctor. Read full review

Empire Ian Freer

Despite some inventive photography and decent gore for its day, its uneven pace renders it a curio for Coppola fans. Read full review
