The Taking of Deborah Logan
dir. Adam Robitel · 2014
Deborah Logan's life is meticulously documented as she battles Alzheimer's, revealing the intimate struggles of her and her daughter, Sarah. As the film progresses, the camera captures not just the decline of memory but also the emergence of a sinister force that threatens their fragile reality. Watching it feels like being drawn into a chilling descent where the familiar becomes terrifying, and the boundaries of sanity blur.
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.
