    Creepy Flesh Eaters
    Noa (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Mollie (Jojo T. Gibbs) are best friends and share their lives to each other all the time. Noa uses dating apps to meet young men and tells Mollie how the usually disappointing date was. When she meets the handsome Steve (Sebastian Stan) in the supermarket, he hits one her and Noa dates him. She learns that he is from Texas, he is a medical resident and has neither social media nor family. They have one-night stand and Noa takes a picture of his face while sleeping. She sends it to Mollie, and she tells Noa that Steve cannot be trusted since he has no social media. When Steve invites Noa to travel to a surprising place during a romantic weekend, Mollie warns her friend not to go. But Noa goes with Steve, and he tells her to spend the night at his fancy home to travel early in the morning. They drink and Steve drugs Noa that wakes up on a mattress in an empty room and chained to the floor. Soon she learns that Steve is a butcher that kidnaps young women to sell their flesh to a selected group of flesh eaters by an expensive price. Meanwhile Mollie looks for her friend and tries to identify her boyfriend.

    "Fresh" (2022) is a great thriller with a refreshing horror story and great performances of Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jojo T. Gibbs and Sebastian Stan. The idea of creepy flesh eaters may not be original, but the development of this story is. The screenplay is excellent, with several plot points, some of them unexpected by the viewer. The conclusion cold be shorter, but there are the usual clichés, such as why the girls did not bring the pistol after subduing Steve. But anyway, the story keeps the tension and is highly recommended for fans of the genre. My vote is seven.

    Daisy Edgar Jones deserves an Oscar for the 4 minute scene
    This is a disturbing story. The protagonist and his disgusting personality make your jaw drop and fix it to the floor with superglue.

    Daisy Edgar Jones deserves an Oscar for the 4-minute scene where she slowly realises the situation after waking up. She has been drugged. She's chained up and he's sitting there waiting for her to get awake. He wants to talk to her.

    You can feel the adrenaline rising in her blood, her fear and disappointment in him growing with every passing second. She starts to hyperventilate which also increases with every passing second. She feels a mix of fear and disappointment in him. This is a terrific acting performance by Daisy Edgar Jones. I'm dead serious about the Oscar.

    Sebastian Stan is also outstanding. So is Jojo T. Gibbs. All of the actors are doing a good job.

    The good thing is that there isn't bloody gore, most of the bloody scenes are happening in the viewers' imagination.
