Vertigo Releasing has debuted the trailer for their upcoming release Spree, a thriller which had its World Premiere at Sundance 2020 and which will be released in cinemas later this month. Starring Joe Keery (Stranger Things) and Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night Live) with David Arquette and Mischa Barton, Spree is described as a dark, social media inspired thriller about a rideshare driver so desperate for fame and attention that he’ll stop at nothing to go viral.
Here’s the full sory.
23-year-old Kurt Kunkle plans to livestream a rampage, as a shortcut to infamy. Coining his evil scheme “#thelesson” he installs a set of cameras in his car and begins streaming his rides. Kurt picks up passengers, only to dispense with them for the pleasure of his viewers… oh wait, he doesn’t have any! Wildly miscalculating the presumed popularity that would come from his lethal scheme, Kurt desperately ups the stakes and tries to make sure his horrific non-event transforms into a viral sensation. In the middle of all this madness, Jessie Adams, a stand-up comedian with her own viral agenda, crosses Kurt’s path and becomes our only hope to put a stop to his misguided carnage.
The film is directed by Eugene Kotlyarenko (Wobble Palace).
Spree is released in UK cinemas on 14th August. Here’s the new trailer.
