In this episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, we dive headfirst into the chaos of Deadstream (2022), a found-footage horror-comedy that turns livestreaming into a literal fight for survival. When disgraced YouTuber Shawn Ruddy locks himself in a haunted house to win back his fans, he quickly learns that views aren't worth dying for—and that ghosts don’t care about subscriber counts.

We break down the film’s satire on influencer culture, why this movie works surprisingly well despite its chaotic energy, and how Deadstream manages to balance jump scares with social commentary. It’s messy, meta, and just unhinged enough to keep us watching.

Featuring the theme “Influencers: When Going Viral Gets Violent,” this episode is part of our July lineup exploring the horrors of online fame.
