Short description

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.

What's left behind the scenes

Director and screenwriter Adam Robitel, along with special effects supervisor Vincent J. Guastini, deliberately cut down the transformation scenes, believing this would add to the realism of what was happening on screen.
When the control panel of Deborah Logan (played by Jill Larson) explodes, the image of what she has become appears on screen for a fraction of a second.
Approximately half an hour into the film, the main character sits at a piano and slowly turns her head towards the camera, after which the screen goes dark. For a moment, Deborah's face takes on the guise of the entity that has possessed her soul and body.
Director and screenwriter Adam Robitel and special effects supervisor Vincent J. Guastini intentionally trimmed the transformation scenes, believing that this would make the on-screen events more believable.
When Deborah Logan's (played by Jill Larson) control panel explodes, a glimpse of what she has transformed into appears on screen for a fraction of a second.
