movie review - Deadstream

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2023.10.02

This is a "found footage" movie about a live streamer who decides to spend a night in a haunted home. His interactions with his fans make for an interesting twist as he's inevitably torn apart by the very real ghosts, as they can explain things to him like how to make warding sigils. It was good for a laugh despite its purposefully staying in the very well-worn treads of many such horror movies.

Recommended.

rand()m quote

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

—Anne Frank
