The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ .5

I’ll be the first to say: she ate that!!!!

I’ve already declared on this blog that I don’t think I’m a found footage fan, but this film caught my eye because of the plot about dementia. I recently had my last grandparent diagnosed with mixed dementia and some days are very good for her, while others cause violent outbursts, irrational phobias and barely any English to express herself. I’ll be the first to admit that I never liked my grandmother before or after her diagnosis, so I guess the demonic aspects of this film was also fitting.

This film did a good job showing how gradual the changes in dementia occurs, I was honestly very intrigued by the informational aspects at the beginning of the film. The editing in the documentary parks may have been a bit cheesy, but I think that it led to a more successful and frightening impact.

Watch this for:

absolutely stellar special effects

very suspenseful POV shots

the helpful information about dementia

Similar titles:

Talk To Me (2023) (very cool supernatural horror, teens decide to not take a summoning ritual seriously)

The Descent (2005) (similar pathos surrounding grief, creature feature, horror in spelunking, you liked the last twenty minutes of this movie, you will live The Descent)

Hereditary (2019) (more family grief, cult horror)
