The Taking of Deborah Logan

Unfortunately, just your average found-footage, but worth watching just for that scene with the human-snake head. Ew! (10/24/2014)

In comparison to the Czech found-footage movie Ghoul, this one is far weaker. It’s nice that the camera isn’t shaking like a leaf on a windy day, but as far as the story goes, there was nothing engaging or remotely scary. I must admit that it’s better than the entire Paranormal Activity film series, but it’s still lacking in atmosphere. Anyway, I must say that the ending was absolutely shocking. It made it worth it to sit through the hour of run-of-the-mill boredom. I wonder how the creators thought of that and what was their inspiration. There was nothing scary about the movie and suddenly, there was a second of footage that can haunt my dreams even a week later. (02/22/2016)

The film has quite an interesting progression and isn't entirely predictable, and some moments are unexpected. But I still feel like I've seen it before. Yes, there are some scary scenes, especially one really gruesome one that sticks with you, but I can't exactly jump for joy about it. Well, at least for a found footage film, it reaches the average.
