HE'S DYING FOR FOLLOWERS.
A frighteningly funny comedy-horror from real-life husband-and-wife team Vanessa and Joseph Winter, Deadstream is an outstanding satire of social media influencers and the found-footage genre, combining elements of Patrick Brice & Mark Duplass' Creep and Sam Raimi's Evil Dead II. Following a stunt gone wrong, disgraced internet personality Shawn Ruddy (Joseph Winter) sets out to win back followers by livestreaming a night alone in a haunted house known locally as Death Manor. But when he accidentally upsets the vengeful spirit of Mildred Pratt (Melanie Stone), his big comeback event becomes a real-time, and very public, fight for his life. Featuring terrific practical effects and creature design from Troy Larson, this fast-paced, chaotic journey into one hellish Halloween night delivers gore and laughs aplenty — led by an exceptionally boisterous and charismatic lead performance from co-writer/director Joseph Winter.
Joseph Winter also wrote and recorded the score for the film, an incredible '80s throwback synth score that pays homage to the greats such as John Carpenter and Tangerine Dream, with more than enough of its own flair to stand on its own two feet. It is super punchy and totally rips.
