It is the feature film directorial debut of Adam Robitel, who co-wrote the screenplay and edited the film with Gavin Heffernan. The film stars Jill Larson, Anne Ramsay, and Michelle Ang.[1] Set in Virginia, it tells the story of a documentary crew making a film about Alzheimer's patients who uncover something sinister while documenting a woman who has the disease.[2] The film was produced by Jeff Rice and Bryan Singer and was released on October 21, 2014. PlotMia, Gavin, and Luis are a documentary team set to create a documentary about Deborah, an elderly woman who has Alzheimer's disease. Deborah is reluctant to be filmed but agrees to the project after her daughter Sarah reminds her that they need the money to keep the house from being repossessed. While filming, Sarah and Deborah talk about earlier years when Deborah worked as a switchboard operator for her own answering service business to make ends meet. Deborah is shown to exhibit increasingly bizarre actions that her personal physician, Dr. Nazir, states are normal for someone with an aggressive form of Alzheimer's. However, cameraman Luis begins to notice that several of Deborah's actions defy normal explanations and expresses concern that something supernatural is occurring. Things grow more tense after Luis and Gavin record audio of Deborah speaking in French while sitting at her old switchboard, talking about sacrifices and snakes. They also notice that the line for 337 continually rings and discover that the line belonged to local physician Henri Desjardins, who disappeared after a series of cannibalistic ritualized murders of four young girls. This information is too much for Gavin, so he quits. Deborah's behavior becomes so extreme that she is hospitalized for her own safety. Mia and the others discover that Desjardins was supposedly trying to re-create an ancient demonic ritual that would make him immortal but required the deaths of five girls that recently had their first period. They question whether Deborah is possessed by Desjardins—as a similar case occurred in Africa where a mother was possessed by her dead son and was freed only when a witch doctor burned the son's corpse. At the hospital, Harris visits Deborah, who begs Harris to kill her. He tries to comply with her wishes but is unsuccessful due to the entity within Deborah flinging the hospital room television at Harris, preventing it. Sarah, Mia, and Luis discover that Deborah had unsuccessfully tried to abduct Cara, a young cancer patient whom she had previously tried to take. Sarah learns that years ago, Deborah had learned that Desjardins planned to use Sarah as his fifth victim and had murdered the doctor before he could accomplish this, and buried his body in the yard. The group eventually finds the body and tries to burn it but fails to do so. Deborah succeeds in abducting Cara and taking her to the location where Desjardins had killed all of his previous victims. After discovering Deborah has gone into the mines, Sheriff Tweed follows behind, only to be killed moments later. After hearing Tweed's attack Sarah and Mia follow behind, only to find Deborah just as she's trying to eat Cara's head in a snake-like manner. They finally manage to burn Desjardins' corpse. The film then cuts to news footage of reporters stating that Deborah was deemed unfit to stand trial for the crimes she committed during her abduction of Cara. An additional news story shows that Cara has overcome her cancer and is celebrating her birthday. As the reporter begins to wrap up the story, Cara turns to the camera and gives a sinister smile, hinting that Desjardins' ritual was completed and that he is now in control of her body. Cast
ProductionThe filming took place in Charlotte Region, North Carolina and Creative Network Studios. Additional stunt doubles were used in place of Mia, Deborah and others. Vincent Guastini did the special effects. He said that he was impressed with the script and wanted to work with the filmmakers. He described his relationship with Robitel as "truly a collaborative effort". He agreed with Robitel's choice to limit the amount of footage seen of the transformation, as he felt this "added more believability and truth".[3] ReceptionThe Taking of Deborah Logan holds an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on reviews from 8 critics, and the average score is 5.9/10.[4] Ain't it Cool News called it "found footage done right... one of the most effective entries in the popular subgenre"[5] while The Wrap named it a "Netflix Horror Gem", calling the film "one of the freshest entries in American possession horror".[6] Nerdist and Dread Central both wrote mostly positive reviews for the film,[7] with Dread Central commenting that while the film would not appeal to everyone, "if you're looking for a spooky little film that's free of pretension and sometimes logic and are into getting some quick shivers, you really cannot go wrong".[8] In contrast, Bloody Disgusting panned the film, stating that it was unduly derivative of other similarly themed works to be truly effective and that other than a specific scene near the end, "the film brings nothing new to the table".[9]References1. ^{{cite web|last1=McDonald|first1=Marlan|title=The Taking Of Deborah Logan Looks Like A Devilish Delight In New Clip|url=http://moviepilot.com/posts/2014/10/31/the-taking-of-deborah-logan-looks-like-a-devilish-delight-in-new-clip-2395164?lt_source=external,manual,manual|publisher=Movie Pilot|accessdate=1 November 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Turek|first1=Ryan|title=Exclusive Green Band Trailer for The Taking of Deborah Logan|url=http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/365969-exclusive-green-band-trailer-taking-deborah-logan/|publisher=Shock Till You Drop|accessdate=1 November 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/89399/vincent-guastini-shows-off-taking-deborah-logan-effects/|title=Vincent Guastini Shows Off The Taking of Deborah Logan Effects|last=Barton|first=Steve|work=Dread Central|date=12 February 2015|accessdate=27 March 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_taking_of_deborah_logan_2014/|title=The Taking Of Deborah Logan (2014)|work=Rotten Tomatoes|accessdate=November 9, 2018}} 5. ^http://www.aintitcool.com/node/69481#10 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Gilman|first1=Greg|title=‘The Taking of Deborah Logan’ Is a Netflix Horror Gem: 7 More Awesome Picks For Halloween Weekend|url=http://www.thewrap.com/the-taking-of-deborah-logan-is-a-netflix-horror-gem-7-more-awesome-picks-for-halloween-weekend/|publisher=The Wrap|accessdate=1 November 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|last1=Weinberg|first1=Scott|title=REVIEW: THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN|url=http://www.nerdist.com/2014/10/review-the-taking-of-deborah-logan/|publisher=Nerdist|accessdate=1 November 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/73313/taking-deborah-logan-dvd/|work=Dread Central|title=Taking of Deborah Logan, The|date=2014-10-14|accessdate=2014-10-31|last=Barton|first=Steven}} 9. ^{{cite web|last1=Cooper|first1=Patrick|title=[Review] ‘The Taking of Deborah Logan’ Is Creatively Bankrupt|url=http://bloody-disgusting.com/reviews/3314748/review-taking-deborah-logan-creatively-bankrupt/|publisher=Bloody Disgusting|accessdate=1 November 2014}} External links
