Deadstream Delivers Fresh Horror with Streamer Culture Twist

LOS ANGELES, CA — The new film Deadstream hilariously parodies streamer culture while delivering genuine scares. Released recently on Tubi, it features a washed-up streamer hoping to regain his fame by surviving a night in a haunted house.
The story revolves around the protagonist, portrayed by Joseph Winter, who sets up multiple cameras throughout the spooky venue to livestream his harrowing experience. However, he quickly learns that the house is inhabited by real ghouls, threatening to turn his stream into a ‘deadstream.’
Winter, known for his role in V/H/S/99, delivers a relatable performance that uncovers the humanity beneath his character’s toxic persona. Melanie Stone, who starred in Little Women, plays a spooky specter haunting him. Also featured is Marty Collins, who takes on dual roles as a police officer and a ghost from the early 20th century.
Critics have praised Deadstream for its B-movie charm and creativity, earning an impressive 92 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film revitalizes the found footage genre, bringing freshness to a style many believed had been exhausted. It effectively combines humor and horror, appealing to both horror enthusiasts and those intrigued by the influencer phenomenon.
For viewers skeptical about found footage films, Deadstream offers palpable scares and visceral violence that reflect the absurdity of streamer culture. It showcases a character who would risk everything for attention, a scenario that feels alarmingly realistic in today’s digital landscape.
Whether you cheer for the streamer or wish to block him, Deadstream promises a thrilling viewing experience filled with comedic scares.
