Why it’s HorroRated
Fresh earns its place in the conversation about contemporary horror because it's about something: the specific experience of being pursued by someone you trusted and the social structures that enable him. Mimi Cave's direction is precise and Daisy Edgar-Jones carries the film through its most demanding sequences with complete conviction. A sharp, unsettling debut.
Synopsis
Mimi Cave's thriller operates in the confined space of a restaurant and a van and generates its horror from the specific helplessness of someone who recognized a threat too late. Daisy Edgar-Jones carries the film through the sustained tension of that recognition. A sharp, unsettling debut.
