Director Eugene Kotlyarenko’s Sundance-premiered “Spree” is the Uber driving nightmare absolutely nobody wants to experience.
As seen in the newly released NSFW trailer, the film plays like a found-footage thriller (which means things will end very badly for all involved) and is filmed from the point of view of a young celeb-obsessed Uber driver. This guy is desperate, a clear heir to Rupert Pupkin, an individual who would do absolutely anything in order to gain notoriety and fame.
The trailer only shows a fraction of his grotesque behavior; we see him kidnapping, drugging rideshare passengers, and running over people with his vehicle There’s a lot more that isn’t shown. I saw the film at Sundance in January and it will polarize many, which is a good thing in my books, we need more polarization in 2020, a good kick in the butt to all the safe spaced, timid minds out there. “Spree” should do the trick.
“Spree” stars Joe Keery as the crazed psycho, completing the cast are Sasheer Zamata, Mischa Barton, John DeLuca, Josh Ovalle, Lala Kent, Frankie Grande, Kyle Mooney, and David Arquette.
“Spree” will arrive in select theaters and VOD on August 14.
