Fresh - Movie Review

It's about giving. Giving yourself over to somebody. Becoming one with somebody else, forever. And that's... That's a beautiful thing. That's surrender. That's love... 

Fresh (2022) - directed by Mimi Cave. Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Sebastian Stan, and Jojo T. Gibbs.

In the era of popular such as Tinder and Bumble, there are inherent fears that can come with online dating. Fresh capitalize on this fear and uses it as a tool to create fresh, (pun intended)  21st-century horror films. Without giving away too many spoilers,  Fresh follows the protagonist, Noa, a young woman fed up with the dating scene, before she meets Steve, a charming doctor, with a mysterious past. After the two hit it off on their first date, the two decide to go on a trip to Steve's cabin in the woods, where the fling takes an unexpected turn for the worst. 

No pun intended Fresh is a very fresh take on the horror genre that has become saturated with found-footage ghost films or slasher flicks. It utilizes the very real fear many young single women experiences when dating, and turns it into the most unideal, nightmare scenario.
