Deadstream

Deadstream

After a public controversy left him disgraced and demonetized, a washed up internet personality tries to win back his followers by livestreaming himself spending one night alone in an abandoned haunted house. When he accidentally pisses off a vengeful spirit, his big comeback event becomes a real-time fight for his life (and social relevance) as he faces off with the sinister spirit of the house and her own powerful following.

    Satirical and Seriously Scary
    Very surprised at the relatively low score this has, as I thought this was fantastic. Inspired and original.

    As a horror veteran I was genuinely terrified at times, like painfully so.

    Joseph Winter played the part perfectly, he deserves tremendous credit for what he's put together here.

    Despite being very scary, the movie manages to be very funny too (the livestream comment section being a particular highlight) - which is a difficult balance, but it pulls it off. Jumping between absolute horror and slapstick remarkably.

    Melanie Stone puts in a superb performance too.

    Highly recommended...

    Way more scary than you think it's going to be
    I did not think this would be a film I would like. Kind of think it's all been done before but this is a a gem .

    It's fast paced . Great blend of horror and comedy and when I say horror I mean really scary stuff.

    The effects are very well done and the use of Go-pros works incredibly well . You never get bored of the mainly one person on screen and pretty much all of the time watching you are just on the edge of your seat waiting for something to jump out due to the nature of the way it's filmed .

    I might be going out on a limb but I think this it the modern day version of the Evil Dead. There are things going on in the background so keep your eyes open ..

    Ash vs the Deadstream
    Old concept reheated and spiced with the right ingredients, including even some creative unique selling points. Those who are fundamentally into found-footage material will get new fodder here, very pertinent. Every few minutes a jumpscare, and with a good hit rate. As the running time increases, the direction shifts to the demonic Evil Dead track, which didn't quite grab me anymore and also suffers a little from the available budget. Also worth mentioning: Evil Dead 2! Our protagonist, basically a moody guy, becomes Ash and the horror factor shifts more to horror-comedy. Nevertheless, I was well entertained.

    That
    Is a very pleasant surprise , considering that post of the new horrors are mostly unwatchable ! Found footage is my favorite genre of the horror cinema and this one is a very decent addition to my collection !

    Meh
    The moment he walked up to the front door and screaed like a little batch when he say *clearly fake* dollar store, cotton spider webs, I should have turned it off. Very DIY and I usually love that, but the dude screaming like a bashee the whole time got old real fast. Pass. The old house itself was pretty rad. That is the one thing that this movie rally had going for it. I also was not a huge fan of these peoples segment in VHS. Where did they come from? How and why are the being given these opportunities? There's also zero knowledge of how live streaming works here, which, yeah, i get it, it's a movie and that normally doesn't bug me, but in this one IT DID.

    A Fun Ride
    Made me laugh thru out the 1st half of the movie - just outstanding. The 2nd half got slightly creepier and developed the only way it could. The ending was a let down and kind of showed the cheapness of the special effects etc. But this does not take away from the actor playing a difficult role of an obnoxious but hilariously funny Youtuber. Perfect for Halloween and for fits of laughter. Not really too scary but scary enough for some nervous smiles and a perfect fit for today's world. Again Kudos to the actor who played the protagonist. He captured the irritating, bumbling, kind of obnoxious person perfectly (humorously). And this I do not take for granted..
