Shudder’s “Certified Fresh” horror-comedy Deadstream is out today on Steelbook and Blu-ray exclusively at Walmart.
The film marks the feature directorial debut of husband-and-wife filmmaking duo Vanessa and Joseph Winter, who also share writing co-credits. It premiered earlier this year at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival in the Midnight section and went on to score acclaim from both audiences and critics alike (review). Joseph Winter also stars in the film alongside Melanie Stone and Jason K. Wixom.
Deadstream follows a disgraced internet personality who attempts to win back his followers by live-streaming one night alone in a haunted house. But when he accidentally pisses off a vengeful spirit, his big comeback event becomes a real-time fight for his life.
The film is produced by Joseph and Vanessa Winters, alongside cinematographer Jared Cook and actress Melanie Stone, who also star in the film. The Winters co-edited the film, with Joseph contributing to music for the project as well.
