Premise edit

When Roy and Elaine Keenan realize their family is drifting apart, they decide that something needs to be done. Roy forces his work to take a back seat and they seize the opportunity to recreate a vacation from their past. A peaceful stay in a quaint hotel is just what they need, however that is not what is in store for them. With four deranged murderers patrolling the seemingly mundane halls, the odds are definitely not in the Keenan family's favor. Roy must fight for his life and those of his family as their simple weekend getaway truly turns into a vacation to die for.

Cast edit

Production edit

Several producers and crew members for Stream were previously involved with the productions of the 2016 slasher film Terrifier and its sequel Terrifier 2.[2][3] These include Stream director Michael Leavy, who appears in an acting role in Terrifier and serves as a producer and assistant director for Terrifier 2; David Howard Thornton, who played Art the Clown in the Terrifier films; Damien Leone, director of Terrifier and Terrifier 2, who served as the head of the special makeup effects department for Stream; Jason Leavy and Steven Della Salla, who played cops in the original “Terrifier” and Co-Producers on “Terrifier 2”,.[2][3][5] According to director Leavy, "We went right into production after completing Terrifier 2, with pretty much the same crew [...]".[2]

In September 2021, director Michael Leavy stated that "over 90% of the movie is already shot and in the can. It's currently in post-production, but due to the [COVID-19] pandemic there were a lot of unforeseen expenses we didn't initially plan for in order to keep everyone safe and work efficiently." Leavy went on to say that he and his team “felt that this was the perfect opportunity to offer fellow horror fans a chance to come on board with them to help create something fresh and new for the horror genre” [2] As a result, the filmmakers launched a crowdfunding campaign on the website Indiegogo to help finance the remainder of the film.[2]

Release edit

In October 2023, a trailer for Stream was released that included 2024 as the set release year for the film.[9][10]
