One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Horror is my favorite genre and normally i always watch a Movie to the End. This is the first time i couldn't, i managed to sit through the first 24 minutes.By the way, this is my first review. I'm writing this one because i can not believe what i just saw. This Movie makes you angry. I've seen a lot of Horror Movies and some of them were really really bad but this one is absolutely painful. Annoying sound from the beginning, no plot recognizable and acting? Can't say, nobody was talking at all. What a mess of a Movie.Don't waste your time on this piece of ....!

It took me 20 minutes to realize that this is apparently not "The Taking of Deborah Logan", a mistake that cost me 20 minutes of my lifetime which I wont get back.Unlike "Birdemic" this is not just a bad movie that you can stand through if you don't take it serious, this is plain unwatchable and probably to this date the worst movie I've ever seen. Watching a moving desktop background may be more entertaining than this "movie". I don't know if the screenwriter, the director, the editor and the cinematographer are the same person and in this case probably never got in touch with talent or taste but the guy who gave the OK to release this movie seriously needs to consider if he's in the right business.

I was expecting hell on earth. I was waiting for the worst piece of cinema ever. I expected junk. And that was not it. It's existential story telling and is more about interpretation than vapid force feeding of the plot. So obviously some might despise because they're not familiar. Although experimental filmmaking is definitely not everyones style of story telling, I can still name a few horror films that were worse: "House of Wax", "Boogeyman", "Alone in the Dark", "The Devil Inside", "Texas 3D", "Ice Cream Man", "Troll 2", "Human Centipede", "Paranormal Activity 2 and 3 and 4 and 5", "Nightmare on Elm Street Remake", "Fear Dot Com", "When a Stranger Calls Remake", "Black Christmas Remake", "Killer Klowns from Outer Space", "Wicker Man Remake", and all of Rob Zombie's films - none of which cost less to make than "The Taking"Don't get me wrong, there is still a large part of "The Taking" that is difficult to sit through, irritating to listen to and hilarious at points that leaves it far behind experimental films such as "Eraserhead", "Naked Lunch", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "The Pillow Book"but the filmmakers have taken a leap in a different direction compared to many larger budget horror films on offer. And for that reason I am eager to see where they go next.The fat naked man was great... the thud of that fall was hilarious - oh, its after 10min, you didn't see it? Shame, it was the best part of it all.True horror fans might want to watch this, I mean we love "Army of Darkness", we do, but its far from stellar story telling, so why not give the avant-garde, indie horror filmmakers a chance? Because it sucks nonetheless, but I'll watch it again over "House of Wax"

This movie was amazingly awful. I watched the whole thing in shock wondering "why." Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. AWFUL... I didn't understand any of it from beginning to end. I feel cheated out of my time. I love horror movies and I've never in my life seen one like this before. Flashes of confusion, half of the time u can't tell who did what to whom. Who's idea was this? Who believed this would make it? Don't waste your time or money on this film. These people need lots more practice before trying this again. My rating is inaccurate because there's no negative options (like -10). Long story short- this film will frustrate and confuse you and eventually upset you...
