We caught Michelle Iannantuono’s Livescreamers as part of our Panic Fest coverage earlier this year, and instantly fell in love with the film. Our review called it a “thoroughly modern genre movie that ticks a lot of boxes.” Since our viewing we have been dying to hear news of a release, and today we are thrilled to announce that Livescreamers is now fully unleashed into the world.

After a year of buzzy festival screenings, Michelle Iannantuono’s gaming horror film Livescreamers is now available to watch at home.
This timely take on screenlife found footage follows an ensemble of video gamers led by Michael Smallwood (Halloween Kills, The Righteous Gemstones), Christopher Trindade (Worst Laid Plans), and Ryan LaPlante (Holy Hell). After taking home the George A. Romero Fellowship at Salem Horror, and touring festivals including Panic Fest, Unnamed Footage, and Nevermore, the film currently sits at a fresh 89% on Rotten Tomatoes.
In Livescreamers, a group of content creators are pitted against each other by a gruesome video game with lethal stakes. In addition to taking audiences on a thrilling ride through horror games, the film tackles issues of parasocial relationships, corporate greed, and the crushing unsustainability of online creation.
A region-free Blu-ray is available directly from Octopunk Media’s store page, as well as Amazon. The Blu-Ray features a cast and crew commentary track, a gag reel, and a feature-length behind the scenes documentary entitled Boundary Breakers.
