Review: The Taking of Deborah Logan DVD

The Taking of Deborah Logan, which was produced by Bryan Singer, isn’t terrible but it’s also just the latest in a slew of found footage horror films. The acting isn’t bad and there are a few creepy moments but not nearly enough to give this a recommendation. The DVD released by Millennium has OK audio and video transfers and the solo feature is forgettable.

PLOT SYNOPSIS

Mia Medina (MICHELLE ANG) has finally 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 a mother, Deborah Logan (JILL LARSON), and her daughter Sarah (ANNE RAMSAY). But as the days progress, strange things begin to happen around Deborah that are not consistent with any findings about Alzheimer’s. It soon becomes apparent that a terrifying evil far worse than the debilitating disease has taken control of Deborah.

SPECIAL FEATURES – 1.0/5

The only item is a simple “Making Of” Featurette (3:36) and trailers for other Millennium Entertainment films.

VIDEO – 3.5/5 | AUDIO – 3.5/5

The Taking of Deborah Logan scares up on DVD shown with a 16×9 enhanced, 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio, which looks alright though is of limited quality in keeping with the found footage theme. The audio is also standard providing clear enough dialogue as well as blood-curdling screams.

OVERALL – 2.5/5

Overall, The Taking of Deborah Logan, which was produced by Bryan Singer, isn’t terrible but it’s also just the latest in a slew of found footage horror films. The acting isn’t bad and there are a few creepy moments but not nearly enough to give this a recommendation. The DVD released by Millennium has OK audio and video transfers and the solo feature is forgettable.
