14) Spree
One of the scariest films I’ve seen this year, Spree succeeds at being disturbing without being graphic. Joe Keery plays Kurt Kunkle, a viral-hungry influencer who starts killing people on his livestream for views. The movie makes the most of its simple premise, carried heavily by Keery’s terrifyingly empty performance. He feels real; we’ve come across people like him, either online or in person. While it does have its darkly comic moments, I felt more uncomfortable than anything with Keery’s accurate portrayal of a soulless parasite. This film was a rewarding watch; hopefully, influencers in real life don’t get any ideas.
