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

Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

arthurwade-18694 Docu films are passe and even if they aren't they should be exceptionally well made- which The Taking of Deborah Logan is not. At least Paranormal activity managed to be scary but this film proves that the home video/documentary horror should be buried six feet under. (Avoid it and rent The Exorcist instead).

Michael Ledo The film starts out as a doctorate study of an Alzheimer's patient and seemed very realistic, Having not read anything about the film, I thought that was what I was going to see, until I caught the early clues of the paintings (before he showed me) and Deborah talking to herself. When the film changed into a hand-held horror film I still felt a little awkward watching a non-serious film on a serious subject...but I got over it.Yes the film was going along great and then it happened. the same thing that happens in all of these type of films which now passes for entertainment: Let's shoot in the dark/flashlight with a jerky camera and people shouting and screaming. Want to make it good? Pay the electric bill and mount the camera. I understand they invented this thing called a tripod.It is a good movie if you can handle the flashlight screaming and not being able to watch the film near the end. I can't.Guide: F-bomb. No sex. Nudity (Jill Larson aka Opal Cortlandt)

SnoopyStyle Mia Medina, Gavin, and Luis arrive to do a documentary about Deborah Logan suffering from Alzheimer's disease. She's still functioning but her condition seems to be deteriorating. She lives with her daughter Sarah Logan (Anne Ramsay) in an old mansion. As the group films, Deborah starts to deteriorate but something more is going on.This is a faux documentary horror. There is a slow build which leaves most of the early parts of the movie lacking in tension. In the end, the standard problem of most horrors is ever present. The film crew is not strictly tied to the situation. They could leave at any time. The only thing truly holding them is the desire to make the film. That limits the intensity giving them a large exit route. The found footage is done well which gives an amateurish feel while giving a full viewing of the situation. It's not scary and I'm getting tired of this genre. This one is fine as long as you still find this stuff enjoyable.

Sophie Kittyy I go back and forth between liking found footage films. I like about half of the ones I see, and the other half I don't like for the same reason I didn't really love this film: The shaky camera for this movie in particular did the opposite of feeling real, as a "found footage" film is supposed to. Something just felt overtly off. "The Taking" felt like an interesting premise in the beginning duration of its story. The whole Alzheimer's deal was actually the most disturbing aspect for me; something so real that was visually portrayed made me genuinely disturbed and saddened. It was around the time that all the funky supernatural stuff came into play - That's when I started becoming confused and distracted, and the film no longer had the potential to really be scary for me anymore. I think that they honestly could've used the Alzheimer's without such weird supernatural elements in addition. Basically, it just felt unnecessary, and left something to be desired. I think Deborah and her daughter, Sarah, were very well acted. However, even their performances couldn't really make up for the sloppy storyline. The second half of the story just left me disappointed and just no longer interested.
