Deadstream follows a disgraced Internet personality called Shawn, who intends to livestream his time in a haunted house, hoping the experience will restart his career. When Shawn is attacked by a vengeful spirit called Mildred and a slew of demons, his career prospects become the least of his problems.

With a title like "Deadstream," it seems like a foregone conclusion this found-footage horror-comedy will rack up one heck of a body count.

But that isn't the case. Firstly, there are only two characters, one of which is the ghost, Mildred. As a result, the only person that can die is Shawn.

However, the story concludes with the bumbling hero performing a ritual to send the perilous phantom to Hell. Though he's battered and bruised, Shawn is still alive and kicking by the end.

Or maybe not. After Mildred is banished, her horde of demons descends upon Shawn, leaving him with nowhere to run.

However, the broadcast cuts out right before the sinister beasties reach him. Although Shawn most certainly took a dirt nap immediately after, it doesn't occur in the movie itself. For this reason, Deadstream is technically kill-free.
