10. Spree (2020)
A pitch-black satire about the price of attention — and one of the most uncomfortable films on this list.
The story: Kurt Kunkle is a rideshare driver who will do anything to go viral. Anything. He installs cameras throughout his car, starts his shift, and begins streaming. What follows is not suitable for most platforms.
My take: Spree is a film that makes you laugh and then makes you feel bad about laughing. Joe Keery is genuinely unsettling as Kurt — a character so consumed by the need for validation that he has lost any sense of where performance ends and reality begins. The film’s satirical targets are obvious, but the execution is sharp enough that it doesn’t matter. I’ll be honest — it didn’t fully convince me as a horror film. But as a commentary on what social media does to people who need it too much, it’s one of the more memorable entries in the genre.
