31 Days of Horror Marathon 2025 - Day Four: Deadstream

4. Deadstream (Tubi, AMC+/Shudder)
5. Messiah of Evil (Tubi, Plex, Pluto)
6. The Stepfather (1987) ((Tubi, Xumo, Plex, Philo)
7. Starry Eyes (2014) (Tubi)


On call this weekend and one of the interfaces decided to fukk up so i was on all night

so I watched the list until the processing caught up

4) Deadstream - as most of you know - I despise found footage, for no reason in particular, its just a preference
Phuck found As A Staff, movie studio And As A Muthafuken Crew,

when it came on and i realized it was found footage this was my reaction

Spoiler

With all that being said - I watched like 30 minutes at a time and would watch one of the other flicks until i finished this one

the movie is not bad, its actually entertaining, and thats saying a lot , cause i have had some battles in the past with some posters about found footage
maybe i'm getting more agreeable as I age
, it reminded me of a live action evil dead, and the statement it makes on the depths these cancelled streamers go to trying to win back fans was spot on


5) messiah of evil
very tense 70's thriller /horror, with an understated weirdness factor
the Argento /Lynch influences can be seen throughout
weird that the hotel room was 237 . made me think of the Shining
the mix of subgenres just work with this one

6) the stepfather

Terry O'Quinn acted his @$$ off in this move
"oh, right, Who am i?"
(I find he was Underrated as Peter Watts in Millennium and great as John Lock in lost)
Generally a forgotten 80's horror gem that i put up there with the best of the 80's
Nikka was on some GangStarr "ex girl, to the next girl", near the end though
how methodical this nikka was is numbing, but you see shyt like this in the news more frequently now.
May cach the sequel when i get more time, heard the third one was basura

7) starry eyes
this movie melds, body, slasher and indie cult slower paced horror excellently
Its like Black swan with a machete
the slow transformation of the main character was well written and well acted
oh, and her friends sucked, btw (snitching, petty ahh nikkas)



Quick question about Salems Lot- we watching the original 70's mini series
ain't that shy like 4-6 hours long? its been awhile since i watched it

I forgot about Salem's Lot being a two-parter. I'm up to that on my watch, thinking I'll watch part one than revisit the second half when I complete the list.

I think the Deadite vibes really help make Deadstream stand out as found footage. Most of them stay grounded for immersion, but Deadstream goes over the top and it pays off.

I'll save my notes for the others for daily drops. but I agree with most of your notes. Definitely on Terry O'Quinn having a crazy standout performance!

Been on fire over the weekend for horror. Ed gein on Netflix is really really good. vhs Halloween I give it a B-. The haunted house, Spanish skit, and the last skit was good. Candy one and the can I could have did without although I can see some people enjoying the candy skit. Wasn’t for me. Conjuring is turning out way better than I expected. Didn’t get to finish it but its on my to do list for today..

Since that was my pick, we can sub it. I wasn't even thinking about that at the time

Anybody object to The Others (2001)? If so, I can suggest something else.

A lot of 70's horror captures this eerie dream-like quality that no other era has matched. Messiah of Evil is a perfect example of that. Even the plot and how it unfolds feel like it's jumping around like dream logic. You're never quite ready for scenes like the one in the grocery store or the theater. They're effective as hell!

I'll also give props to the use of narrators. Some of those VOs were really well performed. It's a fever dream, and a fun one to boot.

Got my delivery of the 4k yesterday. It's been a while since I've seen it cause it's never on streaming. Forgot how much I enjoyed this. This and the Friday the 13th remake were great. They should have gotten more love then they did

 

[Lord_nikon]

I had no idea this shyt was made

I always liked both of those remakes. They were about as good as you were gonna get for the time. 'Friday the 13th' stayed true to much of the Crystal Lake mythology and had quite a few good kills that were also callbacks and they threw a bunch of nudity in there for good measure especially on the unrated version. 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' with Jessica Biel is pretty brutal and she gave us a great performance. Leatherface was pretty terrifying though not quite to the level of the original.

I think I might throw Friday the 13th on tonight.

Idk about Leatherface not being up to the original. Biel was acting her ass off and once that chainsaw started going it got crazy.

VHS Halloween was about a 6/10 for me. Just okay. I liked a couple of the shorts. But I wouldn't be mad if the left the next VHS installment just as a open theme like the first 2 were.

 

[MenacingMonk]

First horror movie of the month is a blind buy DVD I picked up at a thrift store (bought a few) called The Tripper. It was directed by David Arquette and has some notable names to it, but the movie is

Skip it if you ever come across it. As a slasher fan this isn’t worth the time.
