Horror fans ‘laughing for a week’ at horror-comedy that’s the ‘funniest ever’
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 alo starred.
