Feverish Hybrid! Dementia is written and directed by John Parker. It stars Adrienne Barrett, Bruno VeSota, Ben Roseman and Angelo Rossitto. Music is by George Antheil and Ernest Gold and cinematography by William C. Thompson. Dementia is a dialogue free picture that charts a young woman's night time journey through the seedy city. She may be a psychotic murderer? Will her journey reveal all? Made in 1953 but not getting a release till 1955, Dementia is a wonderfully weird one of a kind experience. It should be noted that there are two versions of it, it was recut with an added narration and titled "Daughter of Horror", Dementia is the original cut. It is an hour of feverish film, awash with expressionistic touches and noir imagery, it's obviously cheaply made but it looks terrific
