Low-budget slasher film ‘Stream’ now available on VOD: Everything you need to know

After making waves with ‘Terrifier 3’, the creative team is back with another gory masterpiece

Horror fans, rejoice! After the stunning box office success of ‘Terrifier 3’, the same creative team has unleashed their latest blood-soaked offering, ‘Stream’, onto video-on-demand (VOD) platforms. This latest slasher flick promises to deliver the same spine-chilling, gut-wrenching horror that fans have come to expect from these masters of the genre.

A successful formula continues

Following a weekend where ‘Terrifier 3’ exceeded expectations with its terrifyingly effective low-budget approach, the core team behind this hit has quickly capitalized on their momentum. ‘Stream’ is now ready to immerse audiences in another world of horror, available conveniently at home.

“Today ‘Stream’ is making its way to all audiences with a much wider digital release on VOD streaming platforms,” stated Michael Leavy, director and co-writer. “The reviews have been incredibly humbling and we are so excited to give our loyal fans the ultimate experience! After seeing ‘Terrifier 3’ in theaters, they now have the chance to continue to fill that gore love right away and get more from our team and Damien Leone in seeing ‘Stream’ from the comfort of their own home, before going back to see ‘Terrifier 3’ again in theaters of course.”

The story of ‘Stream’

‘Stream’ introduces us to a family of four who embark on a well-deserved vacation, only to find themselves ensnared in a nightmarish game of survival. Along with other terrified hotel guests, they are forced into a sadistic game of cat-and-mouse, broadcasted live to the world. This gory slasher doesn’t shy away from delivering pulse-pounding sequences and shocking twists that viewers crave.

Production details and funding success

‘Stream’ showcases how innovative horror collaborations are born from unique circumstances. The film was largely crowdfunded through a successful Indiegogo campaign, a testament to the anticipation and support from dedicated horror aficionados. The film briefly made its mark with a limited theatrical run in August, courtesy of Iconic Events Releasing.

Expert input from horror mastermind Damien Leone

‘Terrifier 3’ series creator and director Damien Leone lends his seasoned horror expertise as a producer on ‘Stream’. Leone’s knack for crafting grotesque yet enthralling kill scenes significantly elevates ‘Stream’ to a higher echelon of slasher art.

In an interview earlier this year, Leavy praised Leone’s twisted yet creative approach to horror: “He has a twisted mind and he’s a lot of fun to talk with. Damien always did this with ‘Terrifier’: researching medieval torture or serial killers.”

Industry trends and the future of VOD releases

Reflecting a broader trend in the industry, the success of ‘Stream’ on VOD signals a shift in how horror movies can reach their audiences. With more viewers opting for the convenience of enjoying theatrical-quality releases from their homes, the horror genre is particularly well-suited to this model. The visceral impact of jump scares and grisly effects carries through remarkably well on home screens.

Moreover, the ability to rapidly pivot from theatrical releases to VOD ensures that filmmakers can sustain and even expand their audience base. For indie horror, this flexibility is crucial to thriving in a competitive landscape.

Final thoughts

‘Stream’ not only continues the legacy of ‘Terrifier 3’ but also sets a new standard for what fans can expect from high-quality, low-budget horror. With its deeply unsettling plot and brilliantly executed special effects, ‘Stream’ is poised to become another cult favorite among horror enthusiasts.
