    For its first half hour, Fresh is a fun and funny romcom, starring an eminently watchable Daisy Edgar-Jones as a woman who is just about ready to throw her dating app in the bin when she meets a charming Sebastian Stan in random happenstance and it could be love. Then it turns into a black comedy thriller as their random meat-cute proves even more hideous than her terrible right swipes. Where is Carey Mulligan when we need her? While I do think we delve just a little too much in Stan's dark world, to the point of it becoming unbearable right around the third act mark, the queasiness is part of the experience. And anyway, the tension keeps mounting so as to make the climactic releases (yeah, plural) all the more enjoyable. Even if you know the central twist, the fact that the movie never over-explains itself and is peppered with background gags and amusing needle drops means it's actually rather rewatchable. Knowing too much isn't a problem, it might actually be a boon. If you can stomach the subject matter, of course. 2 years ago

    I usually go into movies blind (without watching the trailer or reading reviews) and I somehow thought this was about vampires lol. Perhaps I ended up appreciating it more, because I was preparing for an average movie.

    It's actually very good and quite unique in the comedy-horror genre, because the humor is well done and fits within the movie. It's not cheesy and aimed at the viewers, but instead there are realistic ''jokes'' between the characters on screen.

    It didn't immediately interest me at the beginning though, because it starts very light as if you're watching a romantic comedy movie and the ''suspense'' took longer than I'm used to when watching (good) horror movies. However, it's definitely worth the wait imo. The acting is good too.

    It reminds me of (a modern) Hannibal in some ways. I can recommend if you're not too sensitive to spoiler
