The main issue I had is the same as another reviewer. Turn the damn lights on people. Too many scenes where there was no reason for the lights to be off and it was just used as an effect. Otherwise I enjoyed this one. The end scenes are some of the creepier ones ive come across.

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.

Another day, another found footage horror flick made on familiar territory, and THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN is absolutely nothing special when it comes to the plot. A film crew show up to shoot the day-to-day life of an old lady with Alzheimer's, only to find that she's in the grip of something more sinister. What follows is a slower burner travelling down all the expected routes, gradually building to a noisy climax that feels vapid and hollow, and a twist ending you'll see coming a mile off. I found the whole subject matter quite distasteful, equating somehow mental illness and decline with the embodiment of evil, and the whole thing left an unpleasant taste in my mouth.
