It doesn’t just offer up the most palatable aspects of horror as a genre; instead, it pushes it to its limits through a complete, and undoubtedly satisfying, reworking.
It is equally a solid genre effort, characterised by gory set-pieces, discombobulating scenarios, and welcome lashings of feminist revenge.

Amazing premise, amazing casting. I loved the twists and tension that built up. A new favourite for me!

Fresh is shameless and hilariously audacious, anticipating critique even when it can't quite offer a response. But the film happily rolls with the punches, so self-assured that you're hard-pressed to let the flaws win out. Because even if its commentary won't linger, the experience of "Fresh" is something to savor.
Allow the tongue-in-cheek “Fresh” to satisfy your appetite for a generous helping of heartening sisterhood and eradicate your cravings for a juicy burger, possibly forever.
Regarded as a whole, Fresh is a success — a taste of its creative talents’ abilities that leave the viewer hungry for more.
Screenwriter Lauryn Kahn and director Mimi Cave take a broad swipe at “Just give me a smile,” sexism and the objectification of women. Their aim is dark comedy — darker than dark, darker even than “Promising Young Woman.” But the chuckles are mostly in the finale.
Fresh is pitched as a kind of genre corrective, except its tone-deaf cheekiness only results in a feeling of dreary regression.

Definitely a weird movie. It was interesting to see Sebastian Stan in such an interesting role. Even though movie didn't took me that much, it's sure will stay in my mind for many years with its style, narration and what it tries to tell. Even horror lovers will always remember this movie. Not a big hit but gonna turn to a classic.

Not as bad as you would've expected, but still very in-your-face and dull sometimes. Either way, 'Fresh' tries something new with a thriller in the vein of 'Get Out' (not as good of course). Sebastian Stan goes full Patrick Bateman in this, and there are two or three very funny moments. The runtime is unjustified, but the way the story changes after a half-hour is the best part of it.

A demonic symbol appears on the credits: as in "Martyrs" (Laugier 2007), spiritual lucubrations serve the debutant Mimi Cave just to exhibit some nefariousness, in this case a bit of cannibalism. The initial cue of modern online dating is abandoned after 5 minutes, and the healthy rejection of Disneyworld with its disvalues does not justify similar sadistic attempts to legalize something too similar to snuff movies.
Btw: Lou Reed ("Perfect Day" 1972) and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs ("Heads Will Roll" 2009) have nothing to do with stuff like that.
