2014’s The Taking of Deborah Logan received stellar reviews and a strong following upon its DTV debut, but will it ever get a follow-up? Adam Robitel’s directorial debut, which he co-wrote with Gavin Heffernan, offered a grounded approach to the typical faux documentary subgenre. Starring All My Children’s Jill Larson and Mad About You’s Anne Ramsay, the film garnered respect from both horror enthusiasts and general audiences with superior performances from its two leads, and a subtle approach to the unfolding supernatural events.
The popularity of the film was so great that that it was given a splashy re-release on various streaming platforms and a Blu-ray pressing six years after its debut. While it never enjoyed a wide theatrical release, the word of mouth from supportive fans ensured its availability online. The popularity of the film also gave Robitel the opportunity to direct the big budget theatrical releases Insidious: The Last Key (2018) and Escape Room (2019). Both of his follow-up films were box office successes, giving him a much higher profile in the genre.
The Taking of Deborah Logan continues to attract new viewers and earn glowing reviews. Fans have been curious about a sequel since its debut in 2014. Here is what is known so far about a potential follow-up.
The Taking Of Deborah Logan 2: Will It Happen?
After the acquisition of Deborah Logan by Terror Films, the property was given a high profile reintroduction on streaming services and an accompanying Blu-ray release. During the publicity push for the “re-release”, there was no mention of a follow-up. However, in the past couple of years, Robitel’s Twitter account has posted photos of the director in social situations with actress Larson. The director has also been very gracious with admirers and press regarding the film on various social media platforms. This has led fans of the film to speculate on a potential sequel. Given Robitel’s new clout in Hollywood, it would not be surprising for a sequel to take shape in some form.
What The Taking Of Deborah Logan 2 Could Be About
The ending of The Taking of Deborah Logan inferred that Cara (Julianne Taylor) had been possessed by physician Henri Desjardins. It is also revealed that Deborah (Larson) was deemed unfit to stand trial for the various crimes committed during the abduction. It would not be a stretch for someone to begin investigating the incident and searching out Sarah (Ramsay) for a first-hand account. Since it was also revealed that Cara’s cancer went into remission, Deborah’s dementia could have been slowed—or somehow reversed—by her possession. Bringing both Ramsay and Larson back would be pivotal to the success of any sequel. Hopefully Terror Films can build on the popularity of its title and put the project into motion soon.
