Deadstream (2022)
4/10
Too much like watching an annoying youtuber.
12 October 2022
I knew a bit about this movie before watching, and was dubious because I can't bear the loud and obnoxious, screamy, soy-bearded youtubers. I had hoped that this movie would show us a break-down of one of these people. Show the progression from fake screaming and sh-- talking to real terror..This would be the most interesting thing to make of the premise, but this movie doesn't achieve that. The fake screaming and insincerity just continues to escalate to farcical proportions, and then the movie overtly becomes a farce, and then it finishes.

It not that bad if you like super campy horror. But if you want anything with a modicum of real horror, or you're looking for more of an insightful examination of how one of these annoying youtubers might really break down under true terror, you won't find it here. The actor screams and talks like he's playing Silent Hill on Twitch for the whole film. Never once a glimmer or real tension in his eyes.
