Strange things afoot in teaser for Dementamania – watch here!

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

We’ve been writing about DEMENTAMANIA since 2008, so it’s quite nice to finally see something substantial from the trippy thriller, which recently enjoyed its world premiere at UK Frightfest. A teaser trailer guaranteed to disorient you has arrived and can be seen below.

Directed by Kit Ryan and starring Kal Penn, Sam Robertson, Holly Weston, Vincent Regan and Geoff Bell, DEMENTAMANIA goes like this:

Frustrated with the social injustice he must face every day and the bureaucratic culture of the office he works in EDWARD ARKHAM is at boiling point. Although successful in his job, working for a leading IT consultancy, years of routine have taken their toll, his work now seeming so unbearably monotonous, fuelling his frustration and bitterness.

When Edward is stung by a mysterious bug, it results in a painful and aggressive rash. It also unlocks the door to a secret world inside his head causing nightmarish fantasies to manifest themselves within vivid hallucinations. As the rash spreads and threatens to envelop his entire body, his visions become more real and reality begins to drift further and further away. Are these apparitions solely bound to the confines of his mind or are their other unknown forces at work and is he part of something more sinister than he could possibly imagine?

No word on when DEMENTAMANIA comes out, but we’ll keep you updated. For now, go nuts with the teaser.
