Livescream

You have been warned! I was warned and I didn't listen. A friend told me not to bother watching this but as a FF fanatic I told him I must watch it. I wish I had listened.

The male lead does nothing yell at the screen every 30 seconds and it's completely obnoxious. And it's hard to get emotionally invested in a movie when the male lead is that unlikeable and the supposed action takes place off screen.

So again I warn you...I warn you all! This is a terrible piece of excrement. I wish I had never laid eyes on it.

Lots of over-the-top bad reviews here but my message is just stick with it and it turns into something quite good.

At first I almost gave up because the main character's reactions to what was happening around him didn't seem realistic (not his acting, which was very believable despite yelling a bit too much, this was mainly a writing issue)... and I couldn't see how the games shown would sustain my interest. However then it improved in pace and tension, and I got really into it. The text aspect was very well integrated too.

If you like films of a computer-screen genre (Searching, Unfriended, etc.) then give this a go. It's an intriguing concept, with lots of references for the gamers among you, some fine acting and a lovely punchline.

This movie is more comical and has almost zero horror elements to it. It is laughably unrealistic, cringy, with atrocious dialogue and writing, and is a complete waste of time unless you are looking for a corny movie to make fun of throughout the night.

I don't know if it's because I'm not a gamer or if it just wasn't good. The guy's acting wasn't horrible but I didn't like it. Too much texting 2, I had to stop it many times just to catch up and to make sure I didn't miss anything. Fell asleep a couple times and awoke to him yelling. I don't know if all games are like this but the graphics were something off my first Nintendo, in the early 90's. Like I said, it could be me not appreciating it because im not a gamer or it was just really lame. Whatever you do, wait for it to be free.

Of course I had never heard about this 2018 horror movie titled "Livescream" prior to stumbling upon it and sitting down to watch it. And I virtually didn't know what I was in for here, aside from it being a movie with some streaming-based storyline. And I have to say that it wasn't exactly a concept that had me worked up.

The movie was definitely not off to a good start. Why? Well, I have to say that making a movie about a guy livestreaming himself playing a game just doesn't qualify as entertainment to me. And I was on the verge of turning off the movie before it even got off to a running start. So writer and director Michelle Iannantuono didn't stand much of a chance with this movie.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble, if one can actually call it that. It was simply just a single guy sitting at a computer and didn't do much of any acting. So yeah, laugh it up fuzzball.

I have to say that I find the streaming concept idiotic, and people sitting down to watch other people play games is even more idiotic. But hey, I suppose that kind of mindless entertainment is what the youth of today enjoy. Personally, I have to say that my life is just simply too short to sit down and watching other people play computer games and talking.

I made it a staggering 10 minutes into the dumpster fire that is "Livescream" and then I simply tossed the towel in the ring. This was a pathetic waste of time. It is nothing but a guy sitting and playing some horror game with lousy graphics and talking to himself and a make-believe audience.

My rating of writer and director Michelle Iannantuono's 2018 movie lands on a one out of ten stars. This is definitely one of the worst movies I've stumbled upon in a long, long time. Don't waste your time, money or effort on this heap of rubbish. And how this movie landed a 5.6 rating, while I was writing this review, simply is beyond my comprehension, but I suppose people that usually hang around watching livestreams took a break off of the livestreams to watch this dung heap.
