Fresh

 


     Fresh (2022) is like the horror version of The Tinder Swindler (2022). Sort of. I watched it because of Sebastian Stan, who is good as the Winter Soldier from MCU. He’s the only actor I know in the movie. The film’s premise: a nice, pretty but sad woman regularly searching (and failing) for love in a dating app, who thinks she finally finds her very charming Mr. Right who, it turns out, is a psycho who only wants her for her delicious body.

     The movie is glossy, stylish and has nice cinematography and the two lead actors are good, but scriptwise (especially the climactic scenes), I didn’t really like it. But yes, it has the same message with The Tinder Swindler: never trust men easily, especially the man you've just met who instantly showers you with love and affection, pretending to be your soul mate but in reality is just a younger version of Hannibal Lecter.

     Who then to trust? Those whom you’ve known for a long time, who may not be a debonair and handsome and who don’t own a private jet or flashy cars; just a heart so big it can accommodate you and all your baggage, a heart who consistently shows it cares and will not scam you or eat you.

     If you want to watch an excellent horror movie about love and the disappointments and tragedies it brings when you choose wrong, I recommend Get Out (2017).
