description Deadstream Overview
A disgraced internet personality tries to recover his audience by broadcasting a night alone in an abandoned house reputed to be haunted. Joseph Winter stars in this 2022 American horror comedy, which he wrote and directed with Vanessa Winter. His attempt to manufacture a comeback becomes a genuine fight for survival when he provokes a hostile supernatural presence inside the building. Cameras and streaming equipment determine much of what can be seen, while chat messages turn the audience into an additional pressure on the performer.
The film uses the habits of livestream entertainment to connect physical comedy with haunted-house scares. Its central character's need to keep producing content makes bad decisions part of the format rather than a separate excuse for them. It suits viewers interested in energetic found-footage horror and satire of online self-promotion, with gross-out effects and comic panic sharing space with the supernatural threat.
