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.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Reno Rangan It was released a while ago, but I was not interested in the horrors, because they are not my kind. For an atheist, horror films are mostly a joke. I do like or enjoy watching them, but I do it very rarely. This is not one of that. Frankly, I don't know why all the horror films are same, but different cast, location and situation.If you have seen sufficient films in your life, then you would also find it nothing special. This a found-footage kind where a student making a thesis on an old woman with alzheimer. As usual, something goes wrong and all hell breaks loose. So finding the root cause and stopping it becomes the main task for all who are involved with it.I am sure those who watch films rarely might have more fun with it. I mean edgy moments with all the scares. From a new director with a decent cast. This is another title from the recent that to have a name Logan. Like all the horrors, this too ended with wide open, but so far there's no news about a sequel. I hope they won't make it. I did not enjoy it, but still you could if you are not my kind as I've explained.4/10
sol- Keen to learn more about the disease that led to her grandfather's death, a PhD student convinces an elderly woman with Alzheimer's disease to be the subject of a documentary, but the student begins to wonder whether something supernatural is afoot as the old woman's behaviour grows stranger in this mystery thriller. While the notion of making a horror movie out of a real serious medical condition sounds a little wrong, 'The Taking of Deborah Logan' gets off to a solid start with the characters only noticing occasional odd things about her. Jill Larson is very good in the lead role too - particularly in her more lucid moments as she expresses concern about being filmed. The movie falls apart a bit in the second act though as a clear supernatural possession element is introduced, subtracting from the mystery of why she is acting so weirdly at night. The third act though is where the film really trips up and becomes very repetitive with characters constantly shrieking and so much unsteady and unfocused nighttime camera-work that it is hard to become immersed in the action. Indeed, this is one of those 'found footage' films that may have perhaps benefited from a more conventional stylistic approach. The eccentric, unexplained behaviour of the elderly is a fairly decent movie theme, but this entry does not always feel like it achieves its potential.
vishnu-dileep08 The movie starts with a documentary of Mrs. Deborah Logan just to give the viewer's a thought about the deadly disease Alzheimer and how it affects a person and what can be done to slower the process. So as Mrs. Logan is being documented the crew finds out there is more to the story than just the disease.The plot was really good and it was executed really well. All the elements of scare were there perfectly in places it was needed. I did not feel any kind of loose ends in this movie as each part of this movie turned out to be very interesting. The ending left me puzzled and just wow "I did not expect that". The actress who played Deborah Logan did a very good job and even the rest of the actors blended really well.Yes I would recommend everyone to not miss this movie.Notable ActingJill Larson her other famous movies you can watch are Shutter island and many moreAnne Ramsay My Rating 10/10
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.
