Demented (1980) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a married woman who was raped, traumatized by the event and institutionalized. While she's in the institute her husbands starts a relationship with a much younger lady. We follow the woman as she deals with getting released from the institute and adjusts to being back in society and occasionally alone. She doesn't know she will have to deal with a cheating husband and some teens that want to take advantage of her traumatic experiences.
This movie is directed by Arthur Jeffreys, in his only movie project ever, and stars Sallee Young (Pandemonium), Harry Reems (Deep Throat), Kathryn Clayton (Platoon) and Edward Talbot 'Chip' Matthews (Raw Force).
The storyline is essentially I Spit on Your Grave all over again with poor kill scenes. I will say I loved Sallee Young in this. She was gorgeous and when she snaps her character is fascinating and well executed. There is a great throat slash scene in here, and the opening rape scene had the potential to perfectly project the film into a worthwhile storyline, but it never gets there. The cheating husband sub plot wasn't that interesting, but if the ending was better executed, this could have been worth a watch. Unfortunately there's no gore, limited intensity and mediocre kills.
Overall, this is a poor knockoff and not worth watching even for horror enthusiasts. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.
