What to Know

Critics Consensus

Joe Keery's magnetic screen presence can't disguise Spree's shallow critique of social media culture -- although that lack of depth may be precisely the point.

Becca James Chicago Reader Spree is a joyride through the sinister side effects of social media. Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Hannah Strong Little White Lies Not as smart as it could be, but an entertaining ride. Rated: 3/5 Nov 20, 2020 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) This is all very clever and it completely works, but it does require a certain amount of effort. Aug 18, 2020 Full Review Jessica Scott Nightmarish Conjurings Spree is a pointed indictment of social media obsession, but it is often as shallow as the influencers it criticizes. Still, Joe Keery makes this a film worth watching. Dec 7, 2022 Full Review Carson Timar Filmotomy Spree walks a fine line, but is able to find the balance, and stand out as a well crafted and inspired effort. Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Richard Trenholm CNET Maybe it's not a five-star ride, but Spree earns its tip. Jul 14, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Birithivy Y Spree - 6/10. Considering that I liked Marmalade, I wanted to watch more of Joe Keery’s solo work. He’s great in that film, and was good in Free Guy as well, and of course, is one of the highlights in Stranger Things. So, I thought, might as well watch this since I remember seeing people talking about how shocking this film is. To be honest, I wouldn’t say its shocking, but its disturbing in its character’s thought process. Like some of the other reviewers are nothing here: this feels like if the character of the Joker were on streaming. What’s sad is that some might think that the numbers game is all that matters. They feel like that defines them, and I think that Keery has done a great job of capturing that mania and craze for attention here. He’s unhinged as Kurt, but not in the traditional sense. He slowly goes into the character’s delusions, and as the film progresses, you see slowly how the fame and attention propels him to dangerous means. Its a sad commentary towards people’s reliance/importance being shown towards social media. Though I did feel the execution of the visuals here a bit distracting (the movie goes for a Searching type of setup with screen captures being the visual presentation), it is effective in making you feel like you’re watching an uncomfortable stream. Sadly, the director said that this was based around a real incident. Though not scary, it is dreadful in seeing how low a person would go for some sort of notoriety. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Gorptholemew T 🍅 7.4/10 This is why I walk. Honestly, I like the uniqueness and it’s a very entertaining film inconsideration of how is a little bit cheesy, It still maintains a weird realness to it that solidifies its terror. Spree Is surprisingly good slasher. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Iamwhoi M The most disturbing thing about this movie is, I wouldn't be surprised to see it actually happening. For all the endless time spent on social media, the disconnect between humans has never been wider. I could absolutely see some invisible young person doing something like this, for the 15 minutes of fame Andy Warhol assigned each of us. Joe Kerry did a great job as the attention seeking psychopath. The ending especially felt really famiar in this day and age. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Giorgio G It's supposed to be a comedy, but it is surely a pretty sick and macabre one. Well, nowadays we get more and more weird scripts onto the screen, with some, like this one, making one afraid of copycats. And with so many young folks only worried about absurd numbers of friends, likes and followers within their social media sites, it would actually not surprise me if some disturbed dude would go out on a killing SPREE to achieve just that. Definitely too bloody for my taste, but unfortunately with quite a disturbing realism of the tides of our times. 5/10 points. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Oliver Y Despite being a movie that does not have the best plot, I really love mostly because the energy Joe Keery brings to Kurt. I just love Joe Keery so much😆 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Audience Member i absolutely love this movie so much literally no one is a bigger fan of this movie than me 💀 i love joe keery too so thats another reason i love it as i can see for some other people in the reviews too lol plot is kinda messy at parts but i literally do not care because this is genuinely my all time favourite movie #thelesson Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
