2014 Directed by Adam Robitel
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 ending effects made my jaw drop, and that's a difficult feat when you watch as much horror as I do.
Found footage supernatural possession jam effectively executed with some genuinely creepy moments. I liked the setup and its take on possession, atmosphere, effective scares, and how halfway through the movie the camera man leaves and is like “NOPE I’M OUT, KEEP YOUR MONEY” lolol.
The ending is a total jaw dropping doozy with one of the best images on screen during that year, I did not expect that scene to happen. Although it felt a little long on a revisit, The Taking of Deborah Logan has plenty to offer for genre and found footage fans—especially Jill Larsen, who really knocks it out the park with her performance and elicited a very different emotional response out of me this time around after recently losing my grandmother to a horrible mixture of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and dementia. Heavy stuff.
A really well made found footage horror movie that's equal parts disturbing and tragic. Mia (Michelle Ang) is a student making a documentary for her PHD thesis about Alzheimer's sufferer Deborah Logan (Jill Larson) and her caregiver/grown-up daughter Sarah (Anne Ramsay). To start with, it's a real tragic story as we see Deborah's condition deteriorate and dementia starts to take over. The film takes a turn however when Deborah begins to show even more disturbing signs, she starts to self harm, clawing off big chunks of her own skin and she's prone to some terrifying fits of rage. Sarah begins to think that it may not be a deliberating disease that's taking over her mother but something much darker.

Super creepy! With the exception of Insidious: The Last Key which did nothing for me, Adam Robitel has delivered some solid horror and this is definitely one of those! The whole tired found footage angle is actually used well here and there are some truly inspired scenes!
I originally watched this when it was in Netflix and y’all know that Netflix is hella hit or miss with horror. Like most of it is total crap but every so often you get a diamond in the rough like this film and that alone make it worth suffering through all the bad shit, but you gotta be dedicated and luckily I am.

Though it is yet another found-footage horror film, Adam Robitel's "The Taking of Deborah Logan" has enough sense to use to gimmick in a way that actually makes sense. Avoiding many of the pitfalls of the overused gimmick, Robitel's film uses the format in a manner reminiscent of subgenre stand-outs like "The Blair Witch Project" and "Paranormal Activity." While the film itself may not be grand, it manages to apply the found-footage conceit in a way the supports its chilling and capably told story.
The film's narrative is built around a documentary crew that is making a nonfiction film about a woman with Alzheimer's disease. The crew spends its days and nights with the woman and her family, studying every…
After all the found footage films released after the 2010s there are of course quite a lot of low quality pieces, but in all honesty this is not one of those films. The acting is pretty believable for a movie of this caliber and the story is more intriguing than most although it ends on a conventional note. There are parts that are still very creepy even when watching it for a fourth time. This obviously has had some good work put into it but is certainly not something that transcends the early 2010 found footage shuffle.
Far from the worst found-footage movies but I don't think it's a top favorite for me. It's still really good for a mid-2010s late-era found footage movie. As if Alzheimer's disease wasn't scary enough on it's own??!
This was very freaky. But in a good way! I absolutely loved it.
Found footage mixed with a bit of posession. Always a good time.
