The Taking of Deborah Logan
Movie • 2014 • Horror
ReportSynopsis
What starts as a poignant medical documentary about Deborah Logan's descent into Alzheimer's disease and her daughter's struggles as caregiver degenerates into a maddening portrayal of dementia at its most frightening, as hair-raising events begin to plague the family and crew and an unspeakable malevolence threatens to tear the very fabric of sanity from them all.

Not particularly obvert, but Deborah is hinted at frequently to be a very judgemental parent and is embarrassed of her daughter for being a lesbian. There is blatant homophobia and also smaller micro insults, like her mom telling Sarah that she wishes she dressed like a girl.

Like mentioned you don't see it. It happens right before the 46 minute mark, they are all sitting down eating breakfast and asking Deborah questions when she gets a serious look on her face then somewhat rushes away. This is your que to mute it for only a few seconds, and then after the sounds they show her having thrown up dirt and earth worms. You don't see her do so, but I looked away so I can't speak to any specific visuals. Later on at the end of the movie there is another scene that could possibly be triggering, but potentially has some SPOILERS so read on with caution!
Near the end of the movie they are trying to find Deborah with the help of the police. When they find her they are slowly trying to approach her and apprehend her when all of a sudden she springs into action and spits what seems to be acid on a couple of cops faces. Its super quick but could still be triggering so I wanted to mention it.

**As an epileptic, whoever voted no sucks** Scenes are chronological. • There’s a transition when the team puts up cameras which is a glitch/static effect which might be disorienting to some, it’s used frequently. • There’s a scene in the attic where the mum is working her old machine at night and sparks fly unexpectedly. • After the neighbor shoots at the cars, cops are called and the flashing lights at night are pretty bad. • The fireplace explodes and causes a camera glitch. • More police lights at night when the mum escapes the hospital. • The flashlight goes in and out in the mine. • Flashy transitions when they do find the mum in the mine (holy f*ck). • Flashy effects when they burn the bag in the mines (after the second time they find her).

Not a shoot out, but guns are brought in by the neighbor shooting at the empty cars, policemen, and the daughter when looking for her mum
