             email + "' AND Mem_PWD='" + pwd + "'", con))
         {
             con.Open();
             int count = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
             if (count == 1)
             {   IsUser = true;   }

the solution given by @Erik is right you are using different naming convention in the controller. you must use the same Form value that of in a view 

[HttpPost]
public RedirectResult Login(FormCollection form)
{
string uid = Request.Form["Mem_Email"];
string pwd = Request.Form["Mem_Email"];
bool IsUser=new Member().GetLogin(uid,pwd);
if (IsUser == true)
{
    System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(uid, true);
    return Redirect("~/Member/MemberHome");
}
else 
    return Redirect("~/Member/Login");
}

with the earlier one you used ie Log_email and Log_pwd you will get null values in the controller.

Use this code in View

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
  <div>
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Login</legend>

            @Html.LabelFor(u => u.Email)

           @Html.TextBoxFor(u => u.Email)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(u => u.UserName)

            @Html.LabelFor(u => u.Password)

            @Html.PasswordFor(u => u.Password)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(u => u.Password)


        <input type="submit" value="Log In" />
    </fieldset>
  </div>
}

First, you shouldn't be using a FormCollection. Since you are using a strongly typed model, you should be posting that model to your action.

Second, you are using the names Mem_Email and Mem_PWD in your view, but you are looking for FormCollection values of Log_email and Log_pwd, which you wouldn't find.
