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.

I don't know what I expected this movie to be, but whatever I thought, this was not it. It's not really scar, but it did have a few solid laughs. Overall the movie is interesting in how it deals with our ever growing relationship with social media and kept me engaged the entire time. I still can't tell if the movie is silly for all it's twists or brilliant. Either way, totally worth a watch.

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.

Creepy while entertaining and likable. Great job - if the people behind this make anything else, I'll definitely check it out.

Serviceable film in found footage style. Nothing new, decently acted. Tries to be tense but that doesn't happen. More interesting as a psychological study but incomplete in that. Watchable.
