With Sebastian Stan attracting awards buzz for The Apprentice and A Different Man, it feels like an appropriate time to revisit Fresh, which for my money is one of the most warped and interesting horror comedies of recent years. However, this is a movie that’s hard to discuss without giving something crucial away, so before reading any further – and if you’ll pardon the pun – you may first prefer to go and experience it fresh.

...

While Fresh was rightfully acclaimed on release, it would be a shame if it were forgotten in the constant deluge of new streaming content, because horror comedy is a tricky thing to balance. But Fresh stands out because it approaches its horrors of modern dating with a morbid sense of humour and an appetite for the unpredictable.

Lots of spoilers in the article.

The article does make a compelling argument for a rewatch. I remember enjoying this but it didn't become part of my horror lexicon. May just be time to revisit!
