Gaming horror flick Livescreamers creeps into homes on Blu-Ray and VOD

by

As a seasoned horror enthusiast who’s been following the indie scene for years, I can confidently say that “Livescreamers” is a must-watch for any fan of digital horror films. With its gripping narrative, stellar performances, and timely themes, it’s no wonder it’s been making waves in the festival circuit.

The independent digital horror movie titled Livescreamers is now accessible for viewing on VOD platforms, while also available for purchase in Blu-ray format following a year of acclaim in the film festival circuit. This film offers a contemporary perspective within the screenlife found-footage subgenre, centering around a group of competitive gamers who find themselves immersed in a chilling and deadly video game. The movie tackles themes such as parasocial relationships, corporate exploitation, and the harsh realities of online content creation that often prove unsustainable. Livescreamers boasts an impressive cast including Michael Smallwood (from Halloween Kills), Christopher Trindade (from Worst Laid Plans), and Ryan LaPlante (from Holy Hell).

The movie has earned recognition such as the George A. Romero Fellowship at the Salem Horror Film Festival, and it’s been chosen to screen at Panic Fest, Unnamed Footage Festival, and Nevermore. Additionally, it holds a “fresh” rating of 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.

You can find a region-free Blu-ray version of the movie on both Octopunk Media Store and Amazon. This Blu-ray includes special features such as cast and crew commentary, a funny outtakes reel, and a full-length behind-the-scenes documentary. Additionally, you can stream the film online for rental or purchase through Video On Demand (VOD) services.

If you haven’t gotten around to watching the original Livescream, do yourself a favor and catch it on the Octopunk Media YouTube channel or stream it on Tubi. It’s a fun digital horror romp with plenty of heart and scares.

Though Octopunk Media is celebrated mainly for its earlier production in the series titled “Livescream”, it’s worth noting that they’ve also created an array of movies on their YouTube platform.

With an unusual yet forward-thinking purpose and a history of organizing events in cities like New York, Munich, Detroit, and London, Octopunk Media is thrilled to bring the movie to audiences worldwide. Over the years, Octopunk has amassed a following of 70,000 people across social media platforms, donated more than $25,000 to charity, and successfully crowdfunded over $100,000 for film projects since 2019.
