It depends on your taste. HB Reviews rates it 2.5/5 and found its entertainment value uneven.
A horror-comedy that leans more into its celebrity cameos and chaotic energy than a cohesive narrative.
Livestream from Hell, released on Prime Video on September 30, 2026, attempts to blend the worlds of social media influencers and horror with mixed results. The premise sees Kevin Hart, Kai Cenat, and Druski hosting a record-breaking livestream from Hart's mansion, which quickly devolves into a real murder mystery. While the film boasts a star-studded cast of cameos, including Marshawn Lynch, Kel Mitchell, and La La Anthony, its narrative struggles to keep pace with the chaotic energy of its stars.
The script, co-written by Kevin Hart and Biniam Bizuneh, offers moments of humour derived from the personalities of Hart, Cenat, and Druski, but the plot itself feels underdeveloped and predictable. The direction by David Janoff leans into the fast-paced, often frenetic style of online content, which can be engaging but also detracts from the horror elements. The acting, particularly from the main trio, is largely in character, playing to their established online personas, which provides some entertainment value.
However, the supporting cast and the celebrity guests often feel underutilised, serving more as plot devices than fully realised characters. The production design and editing mirror the aesthetic of a live stream, which is fitting for the concept but doesn't elevate the film beyond its initial premise. Ultimately, Livestream from Hell is a film that prioritises its celebrity talent and the inherent comedy of their online interactions over a tightly woven plot or genuine scares, resulting in an experience that is occasionally amusing but rarely thrilling.
