Death of a Vlogger

I really enjoyed this creepy little low-budget thriller. I happen to enjoy FF movies, which I am sure, made a difference for me. To me it was super creepy. Decent acting- not terrible. I don't write many reviews but for something this small and low budget, combined with the fact I enjoyed it, I felt it deserves a review.

Let me start by saying the other 10/10 review is 100% fake and the reviewer was either involved with the production or was paid to write it, that being said it kept my attention and I watched all the way to the end, a few nice jump scares and the acting was not that bad neither was it that good but I've seen worse, if you have nothing better to watch and have an hour and half to spare give it a go

Strong addition to the found footage library and an interesting underlying theme that I've not seen done before. Some very cool effects and chilling moments and it was genuinely funny at times. It keeps you guessing and 2nd guessing as it shows you the untrustworthy world of internet fame and what it takes to pursue it.

First turn off was the title, as there are so many channels and wannabe celebrities online, who to follow becomes overwhelming. But I started watching and thought the acting was bad until I realized that if it felt amateurish, then it was well acted! As the film progresses and the host needs to project emotions across his vlog and into the actual film audience, you realize his amateur acting was, well, an act. If you are left wondering at the end, what the film was supposed to be, then the makers made a good film. Is it real world "reality" or made up? What is reality? Can you trust your eyes anymore? Fake, real, ethics, honor, honesty, entertainment, real world or internet cruelty, addiction, moral dilemmas, psychological trauma? It is all there. One of those movies that I am glad I got past the title and ambiguous synopsis.

I really enjoyed this movie. Some genuinely creepy moments, some excellent storytelling and enough twists and turns to keep you interested all the way through. I will personally sit through any found footage horror movie, no matter what. That being said, this was one of the most effective FF films I've seen in a while. The documentary wrapper kept the story moving, and the reveals throughout were great. Excellent acting, excellent writing, excellent execution. Check it out!
