Overview

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.

MovieMagicScore Overview

Auto-generated

Adam Robitel's 2014 horror mystery uses a found-footage framing, opening as a documentary about an elderly woman's decline into Alzheimer's and her daughter's strain as caregiver before darkening into something far more sinister. As unsettling events mount, the crew and family face a malevolent force that blurs the line between illness and the supernatural. The film draws genuine unease from themes of memory loss, helplessness, and fractured identity. With a MagicMovieScore of 6.5, it's aimed at horror viewers who favor slow-burn dread, psychological tension, and a grounded, documentary-style approach to terror.
