Despite getting high marks from critics, The Taking of Deborah Logan still took a lot of flack for being born out of the found footage genre. Me? I thought the film wouldn't have worked quite so well without it.
A team of students set out to film a documentary about an elderly woman suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, but they end up with something else entirely... entirely sinister!
After a rather pedestrian start it became so gripping I could not look away. It was an excellent portrayal by Jill Larson as the possessed & struggling Deborah Logan. Except for a very few minor details, it was a near perfect horror movie. Or maybe I was just eager to like something after the abysmal 'They Look Like People' the night before? No one may ever know for sure, but The Taking of Deborah Logan should be considered an essential horror film from the last decade. 9.5 piles of worm and dirt puke out of 10.
