‘Stream’ Review: A Hotel Gets Hellish in Familiar but Lively Gore-Horror Opus From ‘Terrifier’ Producers


'Stream,' a new horror movie from the producers behind the 'Terrifier' series, is an unabashedly derivative thriller fixated on violence and little else.

Headed thataway nonetheless are the Keenans, a suburban family consisting of mom Elaine (Danielle Harris), dad Roy (Charles Edwin Powell), 11-year-old gamer geek Kevin (Wesley Holloway) and teenage daughter Taylor (Sydney Malakeh). Also checking into The Pines are two cute young French guys who catch Taylor’s eye (Andrew Rogers, Jadon Cal), horny honeymooners (Isla Cervelli, Chris Guttadaro), a sloppy drunk (Daniel Roebuck), a polyamorous trio, and some others introduced so fleetingly they basically exist just to increase the body count. With genre-fan favorites like Bill Moseley, Felissa Rose, Tony Todd and others also turning up briefly, “Stream” is very much conceived and executed as one long shoutout to a target audience schooled in the details of every past slasher franchise.
