Livescreamers

As a sequel to the short film Livescream - Livescreamers provides a satisfyingly expansion and meditation on the original ideas - diving deep into the trials and sins of what it means to be online personality in the internet age.

The strongest element of the film is by far it's human drama - every character has skeletons, and in a style similar to unfriended each character is slowly unravelled in a satisfying and cathartic way.

My personal drawbacks with the film came from the execution of the scares - more often than not the film is building tension as opposed to suspense, tying that to the films campy nature and you get more of a blood-splattered romp as opposed to a bone-chiller.

Where the film really starts to drag is in just that - it's a tad on the longer side and the predictable format of the film does have a negative impact by the end. There are a few twists down the road that keep the film alive but it's runtime really starts to grate against it's format.

All in all Livescreamers delivers on its offer!

People play a scary game. Bad things happen 👍
