Horror Queers Podcast

A smart and clever found footage film that uses the tropes of the subgenre to examine mental illness. The presence of a refreshingly low-key queer character and a stunningly vulnerable performance by Jill Larson make this a must-watch.

An interesting subversion of standard possession tropes that doesn't forget the emotional plights of its characters.

Rated: 4/5

There is something really unsettling about watching someone, especially an elderly individual, descend into a place that they are clearly never going to come out of.

Rated: 3.5/5

Cinema Crazed

While half of the film is a genuinely spooky and unnerving possession tale, Adam Robitel falls prey to the tropes of found footage movies.

This film has combined body horror, supernatural, found footage, and a drama about mental decay all into a single story. I got a kick out of watching this flick. It's pretty decent.

October is scary movies month. This time The taking is Deborah Logan. It’s Blair witch project marries an Alzheimer’s documentary. Starts slow but the story is solid. Special effects are scary farm but like I said the story is good. 🍿🍿🍿/5 on Prime

A good movie that rightfully belongs to the found footage horror genre. I would like a more deep plot with "twists and turns" , but after a while the plot is straight forward. Go ahead and watch it.
