The premise
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.
Horror Vault's take
A documentary film crew embeds with a family to chronicle an elderly woman's battle with Alzheimer's disease, but what they capture on camera begins to defy any medical explanation. As Deborah Logan's condition deteriorates in increasingly bizarre and terrifying ways, the line between illness and something far darker becomes impossible to draw. Rooted in genuine emotional weight, the film weaponizes the horror of a crumbling mind to deliver dread that gets under your skin and stays there.
