‘Shang-Chi’ Star Simu Liu Joins Hi-Tech Thriller ‘Hello Stranger’

Searchlight Pictures, the specialty distributor behind David Bruckner’s The Night House and Radio Silence’s Ready or Not, is serving up their next horror entree, Mimi Cave‘s batshit insane Fresh, which streams exclusively on Hulu next month.

Fresh looks at “the horrors of modern dating seen through one young woman’s defiant battle to survive her new boyfriend’s unusual appetites.”

There’s a bit of a battle to contain spoilers and the first poster for Fresh, revealed alongside the trailer here, gives it all away. It’s debatable if this plot point is even a spoiler, but for the sake of Bloody Disgusting readers, we’ll just continue to assume it is.

Digressing, the newest poster is spoiler-free, but man is it unappetizing. While it’s got a retro classic thriller appeal, the design work is bizarre, elongating star Daisy Edgar-Jones‘ neck and clunkily jamming antagonist Sebastian Stan behind her. The point of the sideways “E” is lost, although I suppose it could represent a fork or the letter “M” for “meat”?  It’s all red probably because blood? Only the designer knows.

In the film…

“Frustrated by scrolling dating apps only to end up on lame, tedious dates, Noa (Daisy Edgar-Jones) takes a chance by giving her number to the awkwardly charming Steve (Sebastian Stan) after a produce-section meet-cute at the grocery store. During a subsequent date at a local bar, sassy banter gives way to a chemistry-laden hookup, and a smitten Noa dares to hope that she might have actually found a real connection with the dashing cosmetic surgeon. She accepts Steve’s invitation to an impromptu weekend getaway, only to find that her new paramour has been hiding some unusual appetites.”

Fresh had its World Premiere at last month’s Sundance Film Festival where Meagan reviewed the film, writing that the film “serves up carnivorous but unsatisfying meat-cute tale.

The full course is served March 4 only on Hulu.
