DEMONS OF THE MIND stretches the horizons of the traditional horror movie to encompass an additional dimension of reality. Here, the demons that strike, the monsters that lurk, are those that torture the agonized mind. The film dramatizes the conflict between the first stumbling steps of primitive psychiatry and the nightmarish obsession of tortured minds; the guilt and torment of the head of a decadent noble family, and his children's desperate longing for freedom and love.
