Demented is a 1980 American rape and revenge horror film directed by Arthur Jeffreys and starring Sallee Elyse and Harry Reems.[1]
The plot involves a woman who, having been raped by a gang of men and institutionalized, suffers nightmares while under the care of her unfaithful husband, and takes a violent revenge when a group of teenage youths decide to play a prank on her.
TV Guide awarded the film two out of five stars, writing, "The film gets off to a slow start, but once Linda's mind snaps and she begins seducing the kids, then dispatching them in assorted grisly fashions, the film actually becomes a fairly funny black comedy."[2]
