In order to complete her medical PhD thesis, Mia Medina and her team record the everyday life of Deborah Logan (Jill Larson, Shutter Island), an elderly Alzheimer's sufferer trapped in her secluded home by the woods. However as the study progresses, Deborah's activity becomes more and more abnormal. The video captured rapidly transforms into terrifying evidence of the hair-raising occurrences that start to plague Mia and the crew. When inexplicable events and increasingly deadly circumstances reach an intolerable point, panic ensues. With the ever more disturbing footage and Deborah taking a malevolent turn, it quickly becomes sinisterly apparent that a horrifying evil far worse than the debilitating disease has taken control of her. 2014 Taking Film Production, LLC.

My mother had dementia. Had I have known this movie portrayed a character with this awful illness in such an unpleasant manner, I'd never have watched it. The scenes often show very realistic dementia behaviour and for much of the movie, little else happens. It then transpires the mother is actually possessed. Really uncomfortable viewing, and a subject matter that should never have been used with this kind of spin on it. Horrifying.

Tho it takes a little to get going, i watched this a bit back and i liked. Tho, someone stated in reviews the reason of the woman's behaviour shouldn't of been used in flim, Rape shouldn't be used in flims either in my opinion and due to someone close and seeing the after effects of it and what it cause's mentally. I check online before hand before watching anything that i have even a hint of...and unfornately it something some of us have to put up with.

Starts off slow but picks up later in the film. It's like a mix of Blair's Witch, Paranormal Activity and Exorcist. I am yet to see an amazing horror movie but this one might trigger your interest.
