I really do love this time of the year, it gives me a perfect excuse to immerse myself into all things spooky, strange, and horror related. Like last night, I got to go out to watch the silent classics Nosferatu and the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari with a live band playing an incredible soundscape. The Invincible Czars were amazing! Today, I've watched a couple things, including this movie Spree from 2020.
Plot: Desperate for an online following, a rideshare driver has figured out a deadly plan to go viral and he will stop at nothing to get his five minutes of fame.
When I selected this one this morning, I had no idea on what to expect and was actually pleasantly surprised by what I found. Unfortunately, I already know that this will be a movie that will be very polarizing, and the audience will either love it or hate it. It's it a good film, technically not really. The dialog is so-so, the performances are uneven, and the end sort of spirals. But, there is something here within the idea of the storyline that adds a realistic view of the viral streaming community and the many different parts of society that want to join those ranks. Personally, I love social media (@ringmasters_realm on Instagram) and could understand everything that was taking place within the movie. But, that might put me in a minority. In the end, this wasn't great, but it was a fun way to spend some time watching something outside the typical cookie-cutter horror that has become common. Not for everybody, but will appeal to a social media generation.
