Remote Viewing: Death of a Vlogger (2019, United Kingdom)

 Death of a Vlogger (2019, UK) is streaming on several services, with or without ads depending. A 'found footage' film, with "interviews" with those involved in the case.


Graham is a popular vlogger, with thousands of followers. Most of his stuff involves pranks or just stories of his life. One day, following eye surgery, his recording seems to pick up some unusual events which quickly go viral. After several more incidents, he is approached by another vlogger who does supernatural investigations. Things seem to get stranger and then doubts begin to grow when a skeptic investigator looks into the situation.

Some jump scares and the tension does build, even when you begin to wonder if Graham and his friends are pulling off a scam.

In some ways, it is really an examination of how easily some people can be fooled and the spread of disinformation on social media. The legitimate topic of online addiction is also addressed.

No spoilers but the end can be taken several ways.
