Before the Corleones, Coppola dipped into the crypt. Dementia 13 is a lean, haunted inheritance—where grief twists into greed, and the dead don’t stay buried. A drowned child’s memory lingers like fog over an Irish castle, while an axe-wielding killer stalks through shadows. Shot fast and mean under Corman’s wing, it’s gothic noir with a pulse. You can feel the young director pushing against the coffin lid.
