From promoting the trailer online to buying tickets for complete strangers, a small army of horror fanatics are willing to do whatever it takes to support Michael Leavy's "Stream," which is in theaters now.

Though genre fans have been ride-or-die for Leavy since his “Terrifier” debut, they were more important than ever to his latest indie gore-fest. After saving the production from being shut down due to COVID, Leavy officially made them part of the “Stream” team by giving them producer credits as a thank-you.
“COVID hit us in the middle of production and we had used all our money on PPE and HEPA filters,” Leavy explained. “So we finally said, ‘Let’s bring this to the horror community.’ And we offered producer credits and things like that to anyone who wanted to participate.”
“Stream” follows a family of four who go on vacation to soothe their internal strife. But after checking into their hotel, they quickly discover they can’t leave and become pawns in a deadly game of cat and mouse that is sent out into the world.
