When he accidentally pisses off a vengeful spirit, his 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.

Critics Consensus

Proof that there's still life in the found-footage gimmick, Deadstream is a scarily good bit of B-movie fun.

It's hard not to begrudgingly admire a film as committed to its deliriously silly bit as Deadstream.

Rated: 2.5/4

Guardian

This comic horror romp has no pretensions and seeks only to goof around and dole out a few jump scares, but in its own sly way it offers a Gen Z version of The Blair Witch Project.

The film doesn’t quite live up to its promising premise and handful of clever camera gimmicks.

Rated: 2/4

With an ending as unsatisfying as the one they went with in this feature, I’d say Deadstream is an overall disappointment.

Ghouls Magazine

Deadstream is a fun and light-hearted horror that utilises found footage expertly, bringing the medium into the social media era in an extremely believable way.

Rated: 5/5

B-Sides & Badlands

Very few found footage films delicately balance between humor and horror with such precision like Deadstream. It is this year’s Host — a bonafide blockbuster that’s able to send chills down your spine one moment and make you bust out laughing the next.

Rated: 5/5

realistically one of the best found footage of all time; hilariously mocks tropes while making this feel really original as well as terrifying AND funny i had so much fun watching this

Nothing makes me happier than finding a genuinely good, new-to-me horror movie. Deadstream comes highly recommended, because it's simply fully entertaining. It's a put-your-phone down and pay attention movie. It's funny, it's scary, and it's very original. The multiple cameras and the framing of a livestream is very interesting and engaging, and the lead does a great job playing the part of a high-energy, self-absorbed streamer. I love the scares and the practical effects and just the fun energy of this movie. Like I said, I'm always looking for a horror movie I haven't seen before that will entertain me - and Deadstream did not disappoint.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Painfully unfunny and one of the least scary things ever made in the history of horror. An obnoxious and irritating lead and an obnoxious and irritating film. Absolutely nothing about this film works. Avoid it at all costs.

If you are looking for a true horror movie this isn’t for you. This has become my favorite comedy horror of all time! I laughed through out! The main actor did a great job, selling a real life YouTuber in this situation! Great movie!
