Just when I start to think the “Found Footage” genre has been completely played out, along comes Hostile Dimensions, a low-budget indie horror sci-fi that on paper plays on a whole bunch of my favourite plot devices. The main one is inter-dimensional travel. I mean what could possibly go wrong with a low-budget indie horror dealing with parallel universes by way of those doors from Monsters Inc? Right. Right..?
Sam and Ash are a pair of documentary filmmakers looking for their next project. Their previous movie was a bit of a bust so best move quickly.

Following that experience Graham succumbs to the darker supernatural side of the web and deals with the effects of being famous on the internet.
I’ve long-documented my dislike for found footage films. I often think that the use of the format is a shortcut to create horror – in particular jump scares, cut corners in terms of filming quality and, with that, storytelling. However… Death of a Vlogger does something completely different with the format, bringing in the facets and tropes of vlogging, YouTube videos and live-streaming to create a truly modern, cutting edge take on a film format that has,...
