What starts as a poignant medical documentary about Deborah Logan's descent into Alzheimer's disease and her daughter's struggles as caregiver degenerates into a maddening portrayal of dementia at its most frightening, as hair-raising events begin to plague the family and crew and an unspeakable malevolence threatens to tear the very fabric of sanity from them all.

The Taking of Deborah Logan Audience Reviews

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
gypsywashedeyes Dont watch this movie if you're an in-patient in hospital, creepy stuff. the only negative i really have is the annoying screaming in certain scenes, it just makes it less authentic in my opinion
FilmsFillMyHoles After hearing the premise I had high hopes for this one: an old lady, Deborah Logan, is in the early stages of Alzheimer's and a bunch of medical students stay at her house with her and her daughter to document the disease. After the next couple of nights Deborah starts to act incredibly strange, especially at night and as her condition gets drastically worse and worse the crew starts to believe that she might have become possessed by a sinister spirit.That's a pretty great freaking concept.BUT! the film was a let down. It felt like three completely different horror movies jammed into one, each with a very distinct plot, story and horror elements. The first act I enjoyed quite a bit. It's the closest thing to the main plot. It felt like an above average psychological horror film. It's kinda creepy, the acting is pretty good and the atmosphere is captivating. It's not as subtle as it should have been, but it's the best part of the movie.MINOR SPOILERS:Then came the second act, which introduces a serial child murderer whose spirit possessed Deborah's body and made her act all sinister and psycho for some reason to complete some ritual to become immortal or whatever. This took all the mystery away from the beginning and made the movie far less interesting and kinda bad. The ending is even worse, it's a freaking schlock-fest. In the last five minutes it became flat-out ridiculous: in a scene the old lady's jaw somehow disconnects and she tries to swallow a little girl literally like a goddamn snake...Though THIS IS NOT A GOOD FILM at least IT'S PRETTY ENTERTAINING and has decent acting. I'd recommend checking it out, but don't expect too much and try not to take it very seriously, you'll at least have some fun that way.
adonis98-743-186503 An elderly woman battling Alzheimer's disease agrees to let a film crew document her condition, but what they discover is something far more sinister going on. The Taking of Deborah Logan is a very creepy film that succeeds both as footage film but also as a thriller the film is produced by Bryan Singer the director of X-Men, X-Men 2: United, X-Men: Days Of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse he also directed Superman Returns. The only problem that i found with this film was mostly the footage and there's a lot of shaky cam just to let you know and it repeats stuff from previous films such as a death of a cop, the ending is what you expected it to be and there's a lot of things that remind you Paranormal Activity but much better directed it's by no means a perfect film but it does have some pretty good characters, acting and the story was interesting and by far the most creepy scene is where Deborah is trying to eat Kara like she's a goddamn snake. I was surprised and i had a lot of fun with this film 8/10.
AshmoreFilm This movie was a total disaster. The performances were Beyond melodramatic. The plot was totally predictable and the characterizations (especially that of the big scary dead French serial killer/serpent) were entirely infantile. If horror fans on Rotten Tomatos are giving this 5 stars ... And IMDb gave it 6/10 ... Then horror fans must be extremely hungry for something worthwhile. Another typical Point of View Camera film for shock value. No true cinematic girth at all.The Taking of Deborah Logan is a 2014 American horror film and the feature film directorial debut of Adam Robitel, written by Robitel and co-writer Gavin Heffernan.
