Deadstream

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.

I really enjoyed this and I usually think that found footage died with the Blair Witch. Well...maybe the first Paranormal Activity and Rec also. You get vibes from Evil Dead (which many others also has commented on) and first person shooter games. The make up is quite good regarding that the film makers probably had a small budget. And I kind of like Shawn - very good take on an obnoxious youtuber that does anything for likes! Well worth a watch! You can tell that the actors had fun with this one. Oh, and the comments from the live stream viewers are hilarious!

This may do for the director's career what Paranormal Activity did for Oren Peli.

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.

A fun ride! Definitely brought me back to the original crazy fun Evil Dead! Not sure if they meant to pay homage to Raimi but they definitely did! Would have given a 9 but while the ending made sense just not as awesome as the rest of the movie. Hard to top Bruce Campbell as Ash but this guy playing Shawn came pretty darn close! Dang, why so many characters IMBD? I feel like I have to write an essay. Anyways to the younger generation if you enjoyed this you gotta watch Evil Dead 1981 and Evil Dead 2 which was even more campy and over the top! To my fellow Generation Xer's, who might pass it up, check it out!

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...
