I was lured in to watching the 2019 movie "Dementer" after having stumbled upon it and read the synopsis. I must admit that the synopsis definitely sold the movie quite well, and I was lead to believe that this movie could be something rather enjoyable.
Well, it was something alright. Enjoyable though? Hardly so. The storyline in the movie was just too slow paced and cluttered, feeling often like writer and director Chad Crawford Kinkle was just making up things as the filming progressed. I felt like the movie was lacking an overall red thread throughout the course of the movie, something to tie it all together.
Given the swing and a miss of a storyline, then the movie just didn't have as much appeal, entertainment value or offered as much enjoyment as I had hoped it would after having been spellbound by the synopsis.
The acting in the movie was adequate, though I can't really claim to say that the performances were outstanding in any way. At least none of the actresses or actors stood out as being more remarkable than others.
I gave up on the movie with about 15 minutes left before it ended. At that point I was just good and ready to claw my own eyes out. Up until that point I had been tempted to just call it quits twice along the way. But I opted to stick with the movie and hoping it would improve. It just never did.
"Dementer" is listed as a horror movie, which is also one of the reasons why I opted to sit down to watch it. Yeah, you might want to take that with an ounce of credibility. This movie was quite far from being a horror movie, it was - at best - perhaps a psychological thriller. But definitely not a horror movie.
My rating of Chad Crawford Kinkle's "Dementer" lands on a three out of ten stars. The movie just failed to impress or entertain me.
