Deadstream

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...

This had just the perfect mix of creepiness/horror, plus social commentary and humour (without the cringe factor). The main actor who also co-wrote and directed the movie does an incredible job of keeping your attention for so long.

There was a great combination of predictability vs. Surprise and the filming location was just perfect. Anyone who can make a movie this interesting without the budget of a Hollywood movie deserves some real recognition.

I'd love to see a movie like this get the same attention as some of the box office horror hits - total hidden gem! I am officially a forever fan.

This movie is actually quite fun. It's a mixture of horror, jump scares and comedy. Shawn as the main character was funnier than hell. The way that he expresses his fear just had me rolling.

I half expected this movie to be dumb and low budget, but it actually wasn't. I'm usually not into cam or found footage movies, but this one was done really well. It was annoying like most found footage, where you couldn't see all that was going on. This movie nailed it though.

The evil ghost lady (no spoilers) kind of reminded me of Evil Dead, which was awesome. The make up looks just like, or very similar.

This move is really a lot of fun. I recommend watching this at least once. It put me in a better mood after I did. Like the title of my review, the movie really is a good time.

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..

That's what I see from Deadstream. This was an amazingly funny movie. I was not sure what to expect when watching this movie. I can be very indifferent about movies that ingrate contemporary technology that influences the culture...like social media, but they picked the right dude to play the semi lone person in this movie. He had a strange balance of being funny with being scared but his being scared made me fear what was about to happen to him. I love his character and how he developed and you can clearly see what type of person he is which lends to both the comedy and the horror. It does lean one way more than the other for too long but I don't need to nick pick, it was good.
