The daughter of a woman in the early stages of Alzheimer’s diseases allows a documentary crew to capture her mother’s battle to help with the medical bills. The filmmakers are initially charmed by Deborah Logan (Jill Larson), an attractive, cheery subject. Soon enough, the signs of Deborah’s mental decline surface. Those symptoms start diverging from what the crew expected from an Alzheimer’s patient, including spasms of violence that put them all in jeopardy. Is Deborah truly sick, or is something else preying on her? (Reel Entertainment)

Unfortunately, just your average found-footage, but worth watching just for that scene with the human-snake head. Ew!

In comparison to the Czech found-footage movie Ghoul, this one is far weaker. It’s nice that the camera isn’t shaking like a leaf on a windy day, but as far as the story goes, there was nothing engaging or remotely scary. I must admit that it’s better than the entire Paranormal Activity film series, but it’s still lacking in atmosphere. Anyway, I must say that the ending was absolutely shocking. It made it worth it to sit through the hour of run-of-the-mill boredom. I wonder how the creators thought of that and what was their inspiration. There was nothing scary about the movie and suddenly, there was a second of footage that can haunt my dreams even a week later.

Decent stuff!! The Taking of Deborah Logan is a very enjoyable found footage flick from the beginning, you don't wait for anything, the film moves very fast, the main actress was very disturbing. I was also interested in the whole Alzheimer's thing. Towards the end the film throws in a few creepy scenes (you'll watch that one at least twice, you've never seen anything like it before!). Surprisingly, the film is also very good technically, so yes, this one can be recommended. The creepy and disturbing feeling is definitely there. 65%

The film has quite an interesting progression and isn't entirely predictable, and some moments are unexpected. But I still feel like I've seen it before. Yes, there are some scary scenes, especially one really gruesome one that sticks with you, but I can't exactly jump for joy about it. Well, at least for a found footage film, it reaches the average.
