Released in 2020, Spree follows Kurt Kunkle, a socially awkward young man who dreams of becoming famous on social media but repeatedly fails to gain followers. Working as a rideshare driver, Kurt creates a horrifying plan called “The Lesson,” where he poisons passengers and livestreams their deaths, believing shock will finally bring him recognition. As his violent broadcast spreads online, influencer Jessie Adams begins to suspect something is wrong and tries to stop him. The film unfolds entirely through livestreams, social-media posts, and smartphone footage, emphasizing the modern obsession with online validation. Spree blends dark comedy, horror, and satire to critique influencer culture and the dangers of equating attention with self-worth.
