Ian H Really liked the concept and most of the film worked very well. A few wrong turns but an interesting piece Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review Tanya V. This movie is kind of cringy, but not in a good way. There are plenty of jumps and freaky still images to shock you and keep you entertained, which is good, but there isn’t a lot of depth to the story and I found myself annoyed by a few too many scenes. For instance, maybe the most cringy scene was when everyone was creeping around at night after hearing noises in the house, and we had to suffer through a marathon reach for a closet door - like, 60 seconds of panicky chattering, darting eyes, an extended hand, and mumbling “should I open” over and over while not opening the stupid closet door. It was the cheesiest effort to create suspense I’ve ever seen. Truly stupid, like an SNL skit. The acting almost felt a bit improv throughout the movie- not sure why. Not a movie I would recommend to a friend, but if they watch it, they’ll get a few cheap scares. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/05/25 Full Review Eric E Not terrifying, but definitely a must see! It grips you from the opening scene and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. There are some chilling scenes where your body tingles with gear or anticipation of what is to come. A must see, check it out! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Anthony L This is the kind of film that makes me have zero faith in America horror films. Such campy trash. Boring jump scares with zero actual horror. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/03/25 Full Review Audience Member very hard to understand Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review ROY Y ‘The Taking of Deborah Logan’ makes a significant impression with its nuanced portrayal of dementia alongside the more supernatural elements of possession. This documentary film involves a crew that seeks to capture the realities of Alzheimer's disease through the eyes of its older subject, Deborah Logan, and her daughter, Sarah. As the crew records their experiences, they uncover more than they anticipated. From a science-grounded perspective, this film excels in its portrayal of Deborah's gradual mental decline. The physical manifestations of her illness: disorientation, memory loss, and erratic behavior, are portrayed authentically, avoiding sensationalism that often accompanies horror films. This film effectively captures the raw emotions and vulnerabilities of the characters. When comparing these themes to the Christian faith, several aspects arise that deepen the narrative and its implications. Faith can be both a source of solace and a battleground. Deborah's transformation raises questions about the intersection of illness and spiritual warfare. The tension between fear and faith is palpable, prompting us to consider the role of hope and divine intervention in the face of seemingly insurmountable evil. The Taking of Deborah Logan has limitations related to science-based realism when its supernatural elements take center stage. The transition from a well-intended developed documentary into bizarre and horrifying manifestations happens very suddenly. It has distressed me from a gradual transcendental portrayal of illness, possession, and self-fulfilling malevolence. Concluding my review, 'The Taking of Deborah Logan' provides a compelling narrative on the experience of dementia and its intersection with faith. This film adeptly blends realism with supernatural horror, exploring profound themes of love, sacrifice, and the battle between good and evil. While it occasionally strays into territory that feels less science-grounded, its emotional weight borne by Deborah and Sarah's relationship, along with its thematic background implications, resonates with a Christian worldview. I, however, DO NOT recommend non-mature audiences to view this film. This film includes unsettling, explicit graphics, along with traumatic psychological and religious allusions.
