The Taking of Deborah Logan is another possession movie. In that regard you can expect to see the same possession type actions that you'd see in any other possession movie. The Taking of Deborah Logan is done in found-footage or documentary style. Again, you can expect the viewing experience to be the same as any other found-footage/documentary style film. Yet, I still found it entertaining. Deborah Logan (Jill Larson) is an elderly woman that is suffering from the onset of Alzheimer's disease. In order to help keep the house and pay for medical care her daughter agrees to have a team film her. Everything that happens after that is textbook possession stuff but somehow it was different with an old lady. I think the child possession was too overplayed so they went in a slightly different direction. There was a mystery element to it: who, why, how to stop it? Of course there were your jump scares, but there was an overriding creepiness to it that was directly linked to Deborah Logan's age. When someone so old, fragile and withering starts clawing at herself or disrobing it just looks so much more eerie. No one wants to see an old lady naked and no one wants to see an old lady peeling her skin off. Aah! I just got the heeby jeebies just thinking about it. Considering this movie wasn't very unique it was done well enough and it just separated itself enough to stand on its own.

Greetings from Lithuania. "The Taking" (2014) is a horror movie, but not particularly scary. It has old but cool idea, which could have been produced better. "The Taking" has some nice moments, but they are far and in between. The acting was OK. Directing was also OK. Overall, this a "first person" kinda found footage type of a horror flick. The premise is not bad, and the movie itself isn't bad, but it could have been so much better. It started promising, but by the end i didn't really care what will happen to anyone in this picture. All in all this is not the best not the worst flick out there - but i couldn't recommend it.

A surveillance/hand-held cam story about the dark secret of an old mother suffering from Alzheimers. The premise is excellent, and the first half hour sets up some interesting possibilities. I guess horror is all about fear of death - the still of a dead Alzheimers patient with her mouth open sums it up. The story goes supernatural at about the halfway point, and that's when I lost interest. I think the problem is too many characters, too many locations, too much back-story. After that it does drag, even with the manic activity in hospital emergency rooms and cop cars zooming around the place. The character I focused on was Sarah, the alcoholic daughter - her uptightness was really well played, and there was plenty of room for her to develop. But we also got the researcher Mia, the bolshy producer, the camera guy, Officer Tweed, the ornery neighbour, the whispering doctor, and so on - all heroic in their own little ways, but no focus on a single character who will solve the mystery. In the final sequence there is an amazing image of the mother with a child's head in her mouth - inspired horror - but it had little effect because I wasn't in a state of suspense. If they halved the production they might have doubled the effect. Keep it simple, focus on the major character, and maintain claustrophobia to the max.

There has been a recent wave of found footage possession films, ranging from so-so to pretty good. They can be pretty generic for the most part, and contain mostly the same elements. I have been fortunate to enjoy a few of them, and this one falls into that category. When a trio of documentarians decide to make a film about Deborah Logan's Alzheimer's, they get more than they bargained for as her "episodes" become increasingly violent and dangerous. As clues are revealed they start to realize the truth of what is going on. This film is terrifically acted, especially by Jill Larson and Anne Ramsey, who play the elderly Deborah and her daughter Sarah. The found footage gimmick is used to good effect, showing just what needs to be shown. The movie is frightening in all the right places and the ending is just what it needs to be, escalating the terror for a great finale. I enjoyed this one a lot and recommend it for fans of found footage and or horror movies. It is rare to find a possession movie lately that is worth your time, and this is it.
