“Let’s play ball…”
Stream is a horror film that originally released on August 21st 2024 in limited theaters and is now available to watch on demand as of October 15th 2024. It stars Charles Powell, Danielle Harris, Sydney Malakeh, Daniel Roebuck, Jeffrey Combs, David Howard Thornton, Dee Wallace, and Tony Todd. It runs for approximately two hours.
A weekend away at a hotel turns deadly for a family when they get caught up in a twisted game where the guests are hunted down for sport.
Here is the trailer:
Stream has an all-star cast made up of horror legends, but does it do enough to earn a watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Horror dream team to the max!
Wow, there were so many iconic horror actors in this film. I loved all of the cameos and everyone played their part well (no matter how big or small). LOST’s Daniel Roebuck was a scene stealer and I always love seeing Danielle Harris.
Gory fun!
This film clearly had a lower budget, but I thought it had some outrageous and inventive kills. There was a lot of gore and some of the chase scenes were super fun as well. This film accepted its cheesiness and went full camp, which worked to its advantage. As long as you manage your expectations here, you’ll have a blast.
The Cons:
Too long.
This movie was two hours long and I’m not sure it needed to be. The opening took a while to get going and then things dragged out toward the end. The film reached its peak in the middle and delivered here, but it had some pacing issues to work around.
So am I in or out?
I’m in!
Stream is a fun b-horror movie jam-packed with an all-star cast.
Don’t expect anything too extraordinary here, but if you like cheesy gory slashers, you’ll have a good time.
I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on Stream in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!
