Critics Consensus

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

Alec B

Found footage by way of Sam Raimi. The commentary is all over the place but at least the movie commits to its goofy cynicism.

Shudders best film to date hands down. Both hilarious and spooky this one is a lot of fun to watch with a group of friends. Highly recommend.

I don't like ghost hunter shows so... I thought this was pretty awful, and the social media/influencer 'over-the-top obnoxious' host character's face on the screen for almost the entire movie didn't improve it any. Just a perfect storm of things most people don't like. The only good part of this were 'his fans,' be they living or dead. I really couldn't wait for him to die or 'disappear.'

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.

Rated: 3/5

Slant Magazine

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

Rated: 2/4

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Deadstream clocks in at just under ninety minutes, and it’s all the better for not trying to drag out this livestream gone wrong. The film is exactly as advertised. It’s a smart blend of comedy and gory scares, while never losing its ghost story roots.

Horror Geek Life

Deadstream is one of the most entertaining horror comedies in years. Joseph Winter's dialogue is absurdly hilarious, carried by his near-perfect comedic timing.

Rated: 4.5
