Shudder's Horror Comedy 'Deadstream' Is Out On Steelbook Today

Movie Review: Deadstream (SXSW)

I’m in no way a fan of watching YouTubers, TikTokers, and the like, nor am I very big on films that use the social influencer method of storytelling or that have influencers, would-be or otherwise, as their protagonists. So when I say that I was bowled over by Deadstream and had a fun-tastic time watching it, it is no small compliment. This horror comedy from codirectors/cowriters Joseph Winter and Vanessa Winter is an absolute blast, paying homage to The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, and similar 1980s horror movies boasting wicked practical effects work and makeup. Joseph toplines as Shawn Ruddy, a disgraced and demonetized former internet star trying to make a comeback. He plans to livestream as he investigates a haunted house, with the caveat that if he doesn’t investigate mysterious noises or occurrences, he will lose his new potential sponsors. Joseph gives a hilarious performance as Ruddy, with his revved-up internet persona giving way to screaming and cowardice

Welcome To Derry: ‘IT’ Is Getting A Prequel Series From HBO Max!

It’s been over two years since IT: Chapter II was released. Just when we thought the story had come to an end, Warner Bros. shares the news that they are teaming up with HBO Max for a new prequel series titled “Welcome to Derry.” Much of the details of the series, including the cast and synopsis for the series, has not been released, but odds are it will explore more of the 27-year cycle of Pennywise. We would hope that if Pennywise is a part of the story that Bill Skarsgard will reprise his role as the monster. Based on Stephen King’s 1986 novel, the story follows seven children as they are terrorized by an evil entity that exploits the fears of its victims to disguise itself while hunting its prey. “It” primarily appears in the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown to attract its preferred prey, young children.
