nancy If you like gore, then Vlog is for you. Starring Brookes Marks who plays her Vlogger-self Brookes Marks, Vlog tells the story of our usually underwear-clad Vlogger who decides to post the day to day aspects of her life. These mainly include her ever increasing-in-numbers sex, I mean, love life. Brooke receives a strange recording directing her to a website that show a series of clips of her then boyfriends and friends being murdered. The clips are bloody, gruesome and creative. I loved them.There are discrepancies with the police work and club scene recordings but I can let those slide for the gore work.Brookes is annoying but I still liked her. I wanted to see who she got killed next. And then the ending came, which is pretty cool, but the films selling point is definitely the blood and gore and if not for these the whole movie would've been a bit blah.Worth a watch if you're into bloody scenes.

chaugnurfaugn-269-83012 Vlogger Brooke Marks (played by Brooke Marks) posts the shallow events of her vapid lifestyle for internet voyeurs to enjoy, the majority of her posts centering around her love life with a succession of boyfriends. After receiving a mysterious recording directing her to a website, Brooke witnesses a series of video clips showing her friends being murdered. Naturally, Brooke fears for her life and goes to the cops.Previous reviewers have complained that the character of Brooke is vapid and vacuous and, therefore, unlikeable. Those reviewers, I feel, have missed an important point. Vlog is a movie about voyeurism and is subject driven rather than character driven. We are meant to find Brooke distasteful. Her dismissive arrogance, particularly around men, is repugnant, particularly if you're a man. And yet there is a commentary here on the nature of the modern male and, when we see it from a female point of view, the portrayal is not complimentary.When Brooke undertakes an experiment in a bar, using her cleavage and nothing else to secure a sexual partner before he even has a chance to get to know her, we see how Brooke finds herself objectified and somewhat mystified in the process. Undoubtedly she knows how to use her voluptuous charms to get what she wants (her opening gambit is delivered in nothing but bra and panties) but she lacks any real understanding as to why men find her so irresistible.Men are a mystery to Brooke. Her amusing observations about men creating fake accounts as females on social networking sites then proclaiming to be lesbian in order to engage in cybersex with one another is wry, but telling. While Brooke recognises that she desires the opposite sex, men are ugly to her and their behaviour worthy of contempt, though her contempt comes with a perplexed smile. This is the crux of Vlog, and there are some neat tricks employed to drive the point home. The gore is actually contextually appropriate for once. We, the audience, are drawn into the theme by finding ourselves witness to some extremely brutal and explicit gore. Did you come here for the blood and guts and shots of Brooke scantily dressed? If so, stay for the subtext. You are now the kind of voyeur Brooke finds so compelling. You mystify her, and yet she needs you somehow. The relationship between Brooke and her audience is dysfunctional at its root and this, of course, is the reason she eventually finds herself in deep trouble.Unfortunately, production values are fairly low and too much is made of the final twist, which you'll see coming a mile off. The twist is also unnecessary in my view and doesn't particularly add to the movie, nor adequately answer the questions it raises. That said, overall I enjoyed this production (though I had to cover my eyes at points - gore isn't really my bag).

Emmet Mc Laughlin I had high hopes for this film before watching it as it seemed like an interesting premise, and the Saw connection was a bonus too.It started off okay and seemed like it was going somewhere good but the film was overall, a bit of a let down.The only positive was the gore, not enough to call this a gory film, i.e. Saw or Hostel, so it's not really even worth a watch for those who just want to see blood and guts.The "twist" at the end as somewhat annoying, although I had never guessed the outcome and it. But for some reason I just found it boring, maybe because the film had basically been boring up until this point.Also, there were some unrealistic parts such SPOILER: police not seeming to care and the fact that it couldn't be verified that a woman was murdered in a club full of people :SPOILERBy the end I was failing to see much a similarity to Saw, so I watched the end credits to actually see who was involved that I would have recognised from Saw. Low and behold there was no-one, it seems only production company is the same.Overall, it could have been a good film but it was a let down.

seybernetx The trailers and previews imply this is a true story, even to the point of giving the lead character the same name as the actress playing the role. A lot of the movie is filmed as if it was a real video log, complete with the shaky, slightly out of focus recording.It isn't, and they give up on the pretense quickly.Minimal sex, minimal nudity, which seems odd for a porn star. Minimal blood, and a low body count, so you can't even watch it as a slasher movie.Little more to say. I can't even rate it as a guilty pleasure.If you really, really, really love Brooke Marks, rent it. If you have a buddy who loves Brooke Marks, buy him a copy. If you're wondering why I bothered to add this to the end of the review, it is because there is a ten line minimum on reviews, and I was done with this epic after only seven lines.Adding that will probably get this review discarded by The Powers That Be, but I really didn't have anything else the least bit useful to add.I suppose I could have recapped the plot of the movie, but if you watched the trailer, you already know pretty much everything I could tell you without spoiling what few surprises this movie has.
