Dead Stream

About This Movie

Dead Stream presents a claustrophobic blend of technology and psychological tension. The story follows Alan, this young tech prodigy, spiraling into paranoia with his groundbreaking smartphone that seems to have a mind of its own. The film's atmosphere is thick with anxiety, enhanced by practical effects that ground the increasingly surreal happenings. Pacing feels deliberately off-kilter, mirroring Alan’s mental state, keeping you on edge. The performances are raw and unfiltered, particularly as the line between reality and digital delusion blurs. There’s a distinct commentary on our dependence on technology lurking beneath the surface, making it feel eerily relevant.

Dead Stream has developed an interesting niche among collectors, celebrated for its unique exploration of tech paranoia. While not widely released, its limited format history—available in a handful of independent festivals and a recent streaming exclusive—has led to a keen interest in physical media variants. Box art and promotional materials carry a certain charm, making it a nice find for those who appreciate this blend of technology and horror.
