We're more than just a streaming service; we're a community for everyone who loves B movies, horror gems, cult classics and especially those films which other people would want to protest, censor, or ban. Created by longtime genre director Brad Leo Lyon, The B Stream features a meticulously curated library to provide our subscribers with hundreds of hours worth of movies, shows, and documentaries in the original version we received them. Our films are never edited due to content in an effort to make them more family friendly. Instead, our members are sure to find all of the adult humor, violence, and edgy content synonymous with the best in B movies they crave. Finished your streaming for the day? Fly over to our hive and mingle with like minded fans. (Okay, you don’t really have to fly. Just click on the button that says The Hive, it’s that easy.) The Hive is like a social media section of the app where you can converse with other members, talk about the movies you enjoy, upload your own content, and more. Most importantly, you can share which movies and TV shows you’d like to see on The B Stream. We listen! We believe a premium streaming service shouldn’t just be about the content the service wants to release but what its members wants to see. Try The B Stream commitment free for 7 days and get unlimited access to our entire library of films, never censored by us and always ad free while the movie plays. Plans start at less than $6.99/month when you sign up for an annual membership. B Stream Features • Fully Curated Library – Our films are hand picked to fit the B Stream; it’s not just a pile of irrelevant titles used to brag about quantity over the quality of fit. • No Content Conflicts – We’re not owned by a major studio or its parent company so our library is never limited by conflicts of interest and competition. We can license films from anyone. • Uninterrupted Entertainment – From the opening credits to the final roll, our movies will always remain ad free, so you can enjoy watching without worrying about commercial intrusions. • Ever Expanding Library – New content is added regularly. • Community – The B Stream includes The Hive, a social media like feature which allows members to interact. • We Listen – Our interactive Hive feature allows us to hear directly from you. When there is demand for movies we don’t have, we actively look into licensing them. • Simple Interface – It’s easy to scroll through and find movies you want to watch. • Favorites List – Don’t have time to binge watch everything right now? You can add movies to your favorites list and return anytime to watch them. • Mark as Watched – Don’t want to accidentally watch something you’ve already seen? You can mark any movie as having already been watched. • You’re Helping Real Filmmakers – Many of our titles are licensed directly from the creators and small distributors. These individuals and companies share in the revenue we generate, helping them to continue to create great content. • B Stream Originals – Speaking of continuing to create great content, as our membership increases, we plan to use a portion of that revenue to make original content our members want. • Future Feature Updates – We will continue to work to improve the B Stream with future feature updates. For example: A calendar is being added that will enable you to see when future movies will be released. Our app offers auto-renewing subscriptions. You'll receive unlimited access to content on all your devices. Payment is charged to your account at confirmation of purchase. Pricing varies by location and is confirmed prior to purchase. Subscription automatically renews each month unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period, or the trial period (when offered). Cancel anytime in Account Settings.
