Kurt Kunkle, also known as The Rideshare Killer is the main villain protagonist of the 2020 thriller Spree. He is an egotistical psychopath that believes he isn't getting the attention he deserves, so as a last ditch effort to gain followers on his dying social media accounts, he comes up with a plan to murder people and stream their deaths as a way to differentiate himself from other content creators.

He was portrayed by Joe Keery in his first villainous role.

What Make Him Pathetic?[]

He makes his own mother his first victim in off-screen.
He makes a racial supremacist drink water from a bottle that is poisoned (Although he deserves to be killed).
He kills a businesswoman with the same poisoned water.
He runs over a man while he urinates (but it is worth noting that this man was a harassing jerk).
He kills three people in a junkyard, causing the first two to be eaten by dogs and the last one being drilled into the skull with a drill.
He brutally kills Bobby, the boy he took care of when he was babysitting, by stabbing him and shooting him in the head.
He uses the late Bobby's social media to spread his homicidal content.
He poisons a Korean DJ and uses their social networks to promote themselves as well.
Because of her poisoning, said DJ accidentally shoots a police officer in the head. Even though she survived, her life is ruined because of Kurt.
He goes to a comedian named Jesse's concert with the intention of killing her.
He tries to run over beggars by viewing before flipping their car.
He kills off-screen a friendly app driver and steals his car.
He again picks up Jesse and shows his sinister intentions to her as he takes her to his house.
After Jesse strangles him with an earpiece, Kurt beats her into unconsciousness.
He lets his audience decide if they want Jesse raped, "married" Kurt, or killed.
He tries to run over Jesse.
After Jesse chases him in the car, he runs to his father's house and causes Jesse to accidentally destroy his father's house.
He again tries to kill Jesse and expresses his displeasure at Jesse rejecting his delusions.
He slowly kills his father by shooting him and makes him contemplate the death of Kurt's mother.

What Make Him a Pinhead?[]

His motivation to kill is mediocre and laughable, he kills because he is useless as an influencer and he kills to gain fame.
Even after committing murders, he barely gets double digits from viewers. Bobby points this out by humiliating him.
Even after using Bobby's social media and gaining a relatively large audience, the audience largely humiliated him, calling Kurt "boring" "cringe" "soyboy".
He can't kill the Korean DJ and he just doesn't get killed by the luck of said DJ shooting a police officer and the movie police being incompetent. Proof of this is when the policeman interrogated him to find out that he was drunk, is that he forgets that Friday is not a weekend.
After giving up on shooting Jesse at his concert, he tries to run over homeless stalls only to flip his car.
He hands over his sinister intentions to Jesse which results in her trying to strangle him.
It gives Jesse plenty of time to wake up and get away from the car, as Kurt was worried about not recording the moment of the hit-and-run due to the camera constantly dropping just instead of killing her right away.
He prefers to unnecessarily prolong his father's death rather than kill him and Jesse in one fell swoop, resulting in his well-deserved death.
According to the word of god, Kurt is seen as pathetic and an example not to be followed.
