THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN [2014]

I had high hopes for Adam Robitel's feature-length directorial debut, The Taking Of Deborah Logan, after a lot of praise from the horror film community.
This brought absolutely nothing new to the table with it's tale of possession (or whatever you can call this).  It offers the viewer a pretty promising first 15 minutes but quickly falls into "been there, done that" and breaks the tension with some horribly annoying acting.  The only good thing I found about this film was the title character, effectively played by Jill Larson (who horror buffs will remember as the insanely creepy "shh" woman from Shutter Island).  She goes all out for her performance and managed to keep me somewhat interested until the predictable conclusion.
