10 Best Self Aware Horror Movies

People are immediately on board for this film as soon as they see Stranger Things’ Joe Keery as its main face. This isn’t even necessarily a bad thing because he is, of course, as charming as ever.

Spree follows an unhinged driver for a rideshare app that shares its name with the film’s title. Obsessed with gaining followers and becoming big online, he decides to start carrying out a series of murders, picking up new victims through the app. He livestreams his kills to a skeptical audience, escalating things as time goes on and his desperation becomes clearer.

It’s not a complex film and the main character isn’t some traumatised, complicated psycho - it’s more a satirical commentary on the world’s view of social media and those that use it. Collider called it ‘American Psycho for the digital age’ and I think that summarises it nicely: it’s a hyperbolic, bloody representation of the internet-obsessed with a sprinkling of dark comedy and light horror.
