Short description

Spree is a 2020 American comedy-crime-horror-thriller about Kurt Kunkle, a rideshare driver who has spent years chasing internet fame without success. When his videos and livestreams fail to attract the audience he wants, he turns his car into a broadcasting studio and begins putting his passengers in danger, escalating his stunts as he tries to manufacture a viral breakthrough. The film follows his attempts to convert notoriety into followers, and the gap between the fame he craves and the harm he causes.

Eugene Kotlyarenko directed and co-wrote the film with Gene McHugh; Kotlyarenko, Matthew Budman and John H. Lang produced. It was Kotlyarenko's first feature, followed by Vintage Violence in 2026. Joe Keery leads as Kurt, with David Arquette as Kris Kunkle and smaller roles filled by Joshua Ovalle, A.J. Del Cueto and Andy Faulkner among a credited cast of 34 and crew of 126. The film runs 93 minutes and was released on 14 August 2020.

On IMDb it holds 5.9/10 from around 21,000 votes, and on TMDB 6.4/10 from 574 votes. A critics' rating of 5.9/10 from 78 reviews places it roughly level with the IMDb audience score, while the smaller TMDB sample is slightly warmer. The vote counts indicate a modest but established viewership rather than a broad mainstream one, consistent with its low-budget, satirical approach to online culture.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The DJ, played by Sunny Kim, shoots through the windshield of the car and hits a police officer, but this fact is not reflected on the glass, and Kurt continues to drive the car with an intact windshield.
  • Kurt, played by Joe Keery, is based on Elliot Rodger (a student who instigated a rampage in California on May 23, 2014, shooting and killing 6 people and wounding 14 others).
  • In one scene, Kurt states that he has already killed 7 people. He killed six of them in a taxi that night. The seventh victim was his mother, whom he killed earlier in the film, a fact that will be revealed later.
  • While working on the image of Kurt, Eugene Kotlyarenko (director, screenwriter and producer) and the actor playing him, Joe Keery, reviewed video blogs that hadn't gained a significant number of views or subscribers.
