Doesn't really go anywhere ... - Dementer review by NP
This starts with an intriguing premise where an escapee from a dark cult tries to begin a new life as a carer. The people she cares for are played by members from special needs communities. We then get intermittent flashbacks and bloody entrails with added offal.
And that’s about it really. The audience is led to believe things will happen and then they don’t. There’s no progression, no real explanation, just occasionally blood-soaked imagery.
As a series of set pieces, it creates a sense of jeopardy, but we’re not given a tangible reason why. What we end up with is a production memorable for its obscure oddness. My score is 5 out of 10.
