Adam Robitel

Well, that's just another PG horror, PG 13 horror movie.

So just looking ahead, the fourth film, The Last Key, that's directed by Adam Robitel, who did The Taking of Deborah Logan and Escape Room.

And also the Escape Room sequel, and he co-wrote the Paranormal Activity Ghost Dimension.

The fifth film is directed by Patrick Wilson, and the sixth film is directed by Jacob Chase, who did something called Come Play a few years ago.

But this one, they make, like, Elise's dad, like, an actual monster in the beginning of this movie.

And I found that that sequence harrowing, the way it was shot, I think Adam Robitel from the Escape Room series... took like didn't change things like didn't say well we're going to put like make it's like not this is not your daddy's in city it's like no it is still the same franchise but he put his own unique spin on it um it is another prequel which is an interesting choice in a series with six movies two of them are prequel films where you get Tucker specs and release like there.

I do appreciate that.

It's them kind of bonding throughout this.

Then Netflix picked it up, word of mouth did the rest, and it grew into one of the most beloved cult horror films of its decade.

It was the directing debut of Adam Robitel, who co-wrote it with Gavin Heffernan, and it's built as found footage.

A PhD student named Mia and her two-man crew are making a documentary about Alzheimer's disease.

Their subject is Deborah Logan, an elegant retired woman in rural Virginia, and her daughter is Sarah, who's drowning in exactly the caregiving reality I touched on earlier.

Yeah.

Well, Adam Robitel has chosen to direct after he demonstrates a ton of promise on his debut feature film, and also showing he could kind of maneuver through family dynamics.

It could be a bit dicey at times as well, and that's something that I think is so key to this franchise.

With the taking of Deborah Logan, which is not only one of the better found footage movies, but also one of the better possession films as well, like something wholly original.
