"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII AM THE INFLUENCER!!!"

Very rarely do you find the Horror Comedy that has a perfect blend of both genres.

This movie has just that.


It is GENUINELY FUNNY.
It is GENUINELY SCARY.

That is hard to pull off.
Wow. I was impressed with this great flick.


A controversial live streamer "Shawn" goes off to a very haunted house to FACE HIS FEARS by spending the night there while attempting to rack up viewers and sponsorships. He's very likeable as the slightly annoying, slightly arrogant, cowardly nerd-turned-streamer. A great performance that also walks the fine line here between realism and parody.

The film uses all the advantages of live streaming cameras and the use of a live audience of internet users to help (and taunt) Shawn along the way.

It's a very wild ride and an absolutely delightful one!

Just extremely well done throughout.
Loved it.
