Horror fans have said they were still laughing a week after watching a film that’s been described as the “funniest horror film ever”. The horror-comedy Deadstream was released in 2022, but a host of new fans have just discovered it over the Halloween period.
The outlandish film follows a disgraced content creator who attempts to win back his followers by livestreaming one night alone in a haunted house. But when he accidentally angers a vengeful spirit, his big comeback event becomes a real-time fight for his life.
The low-budget horror is presented as found-footage of the livestream in the style popularised by 1999’s The Blair Witch Project, with some fans arguing it is a cross between that and Sam Raimi’s 1981 classic The Evil Dead. Deadstream is a collaboration from husband and wife filmmaking team Joseph and Vanessa Winter, who directed, wrote, produced and edited the film, in which Joseph also starred.
Better than Tucker and Dale vs Evil?!?
I haven’t seen it yet but I doubt it - it’s currently on 6.4/10 Vs TaDvE on 7.5/10. However, even if it doesn’t scale such heights, it could be worth a watch.
I’ve seen both. Tucker and Dale every day. But Shaun of the Dead is better than both.
That’s a hill I’d die on.
