Deadstream had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 11, 2022, and was released in the United States on October 6, 2022, by Shudder to positive reviews.

[3][4] The film centers on Shawn, a disgraced internet personality known for videos featuring him performing stunts to "overcome his fears."

Desperate to regain his popularity and retain his new sole sponsor, Shawn plans to livestream himself spending the night in Death Manor, a purportedly haunted house where several people have died.

As part of the deal with the sponsor, if Shawn leaves or doesn't fully explore the house, he forfeits the sponsorship.

They investigate more of the house, finding Mildred's poetry book, which Shawn dismisses as mediocre as it "doesn't even rhyme".

After being terrorized by the grotesque ghouls of the previous occupants, Shawn makes several attempts to flee the house and eventually jumps out the second floor window.

Cut off from his viewers and resigned to his fate, Shawn takes shelter in his car and reads from Mildred's book of poetry.

He discovers the incantation that Mildred used to gain her satanic powers, and the phrase repeated by the ghostly voices is actually in one of the poems.

The website's critics consensus reads: "Proof that there's still life in the found-footage gimmick, Deadstream is a scarily good bit of B-movie fun.

"[9] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 67 out of 100, based on 10 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
