Macabre…ish Review: Strawstalker
Strawstalker, 2026/ 1 hr 22 min
Streamers Haley and Henry are introduced to us by The 6 Figure King Kurt on his stream called Finance & Flirt. He has commentary about the couple but we’ll come back to him.

Streamer, Henry (George Henry Horton) and his girl, Haley (Branika Scott) are heading to LA, to chase the dream, fame. And they are exactly what you’d expect, they have all of the personality of a lifestyle streamer couple, their lives and identities are crafted, to be live stream ready, at any given time.
After landing at their destination, they only get about 24 hours before Haley starts noticing something strange happening. Henry tries to put her at ease but she’s right. Whatever it is, they’re gonna live stream every moment. Then something happens that finally convinces Henry. Not enough to leave but he knows something is not right.
And it could very well be staged. Henry and Haley aren’t the only streamers in LA and they aren’t the only one’s with audiences to entertain. And whatever’s happening is getting out of hand. They are warned on more than one occasion about something happening in this house.
But whatever, they’re gaining followers faster than they ever have. So the show must go on.
Later on, at Henry and Haley’s tiki party, it’s full of streamers and when something happens and no one does anything but records, it snaps Haley out of it. And the vanishing scarecrow and dead crows, spooks Henry, bad. By the time they take it seriously enough to leave, it’s too late.
Now everyone who is in the house or enters the house is in big trouble unless they know how to fight scarecrows. Oh and one other thing, no one watching the stream/video, is safe either.

Meanwhile, Kurt (you remember The 6 Figure King), he insists it’s all staged because all streamers are fake. None of this could be real, right? Just don’t look behind you Kurt.

Good luck.
This was written and directed by George Henry Horton. If you like found footage, first and third person narratives, you might like this. And this a good intro to horror and for horror fans who do not like heavy, graphic horror.
