It’s an assured, deftly acted movie that builds its creepiness slowly and keeps its secrets well hidden till the end.

For the most part the film is compelling, with Jones' riveting performance as the alternately sympathetic and nasty protagonist anchoring the proceedings.

Dementia manages itself to be serious so the audience can behave it serious. Also, what I was not expecting in Dementia is just too much to explain so I thought myself, "Why bother?"

As a suspense film, Dementia is solid but unremarkable, even considering its ugly snarl of an ending. But hidden underneath, the film has all the elements for a compelling, sharp-edged family drama.

There is nothing happening here; just a boring TV movie with a little more budget than the ones on actually TV.
