The Taking of Deborah Logan
Directed by Adam Robitel
After months of searching, Mia Medina has found the perfect subject for her PhD thesis film on Alzheimer’s Disease. For the next several months, cameras will record the everyday life of mother Deborah Logan and her daughter Sarah. But as the days progress, they observe behaviors and occurrences that show the progression to be far more advanced than anyone was prepared for. What becomes apparent is that there’s something besides Alzheimer’s that has taken control of Deborah’s life. It’s an evil that is far worse than the debilitating disease with which she was first diagnosed.
A film crew documents a woman's struggle with Alzheimer's, only to discover something else at play.
Cast: Jill Larson, Anne Ramsay, Michelle Ang, Brett Gentile

Ok story, but the format was awful. I understand it was documentary-style, but I feel like there were too many moments where they were hiding in the bushes with a camera or breaking HIPPA laws in the hospital… it would honestly have been better had they just made it a movie without the student/film crew.
incredible
The first part was a bit too real, but as it got supernatural, it was easier to watch, even though it got scarier!! great movie :)
this movie will make you fear Dementia and Alzheimer's in a totally different way, for sure!
This movie is a classic for me. It’s one I’ll always show anyone who’s wanting a good scare. The build up is amazing and truly haunting. This movie is the reason I now fear dementia because of how isolated and terrifying it must be to have lost so much of yourself and to be in autopilot. Not to mention the monster reveal at the end will always be in my top 5
