Deadstream is more than great found footage; it’s one of the best horror movies of the year, period. Read full review

"Deadstream" feels like ’80s Sam Raimi traveled forward in time, became obsessed with streaming culture, and turned Ash Williams into the dumbest possible stunt streamer. And it rules. With stunning creature effects, a great balance between laughs and scares, and one of the best uses of the Screenlife format, this is a film that could easily become a Halloween tradition.

Deadstream ultimately treats Shawn’s efforts to recapture internet celebrity status as the setup to one long barrage of goofy, gross-out punchlines, rather than the stuff of any insightful character study. Read full review

Although the whole concept is quite daft, Winter’s energetic and committed performance adds a bit of heft without ever forfeiting the comedy entirely. Read full review

What keeps the film from being anything more than an enterprising but minor diversion is that, with Shawn being is such a loud comic character from the get-go, scares and laughs alike don’t have much space to build. Winter gives his all, entertainingly so. But the performance is also dialed too high, too soon, its ultimate payoff diminished because we’ve already had so much of this protagonist screaming, bragging and sniveling. Read full review

It’s all pitched in the same in-your-face/energy-drink hyped pace and volume, which all but beats the “funny” out of a lot of the attempted humor. Read full review

If you are someone unaware of YouTube and Twitch culture this movie may not do it for you. Entertaining from start to finish. It has all the qualities of a cult classic and it wouldn't surprise me if this becomes a staple for most horror film enthusiasts.… Expand

A social media creator produces videos about facing their own fears. This man's biggest fear is ghosts. To face this fear, he prefers a house in a desolate place with many deaths in his past. Even though the house is in ruins, it was abandoned with all its belongings left. And a cursed spirit truly lives in the house.

The whole movie is screaming and laughing. The effects are unbelievably bad. I guess this is how to reel these kinds of movies. Lots of copying from the 80s phenomenon "Evil Dead". But not bad for fun. He took the content producers a lot of ridicule. So much so that even in the worst situation, he still speaks to his audience.

Everything in the movie is predictable.

There is no sex or nudity in the movie.… Expand
