Review of The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014) by Cade H — 01 Oct 2015

Many of the unknown horror films out there that are scattered around Netflix are not worth watching. The Taking of Deborah Logan however, is a diamond in the rough and somehow takes the tried and true documentary film style and makes it exciting again.

Things start off slow as the crew follows an old women with alzheimer's but as they film her every move in her home, things get weird and scary. I enjoyed how the film took things away from the house and used various other locations but still kept the same creepiness and dread that the house contained.

The acting by everyone involved was great and the old lady, wow, what a job she did. I was surprised at how many scenes seemed very high budget and I appreciated the work that was put in to make this film seem believable and very very eerie.

If you want a good solid horror movie, with just the right amount of jump scares and a great atmosphere, give this one a watch.
