Ahead of the film’s Sundance 2022 premiere, Indiewire reports that Searchlight has scooped up the horror movie Fresh, with plans to release the film exclusively through Hulu.
Fresh comes to Hulu on March 4, 2022. From director Mimi Cave, Fresh is first playing as part of the Sundance Film Festival’s Midnight section, premiering on January 20th.
The film looks at “the horrors of modern dating seen through one young woman’s defiant battle to survive her new boyfriend’s unusual appetites.”
“Frustrated by scrolling dating apps only to end up on lame, tedious dates, Noa takes a chance by giving her number to the awkwardly charming Steve 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.”
Daisy Edgar-Jones, Sebastian Stan, Jojo T. Gibbs, Charlotte Le Bon, Andrea Bang, and Dayo Okeniyi star.
Lauryn Kahn wrote the script. Adam McKay, Kevin Messick, and Maeve Cullinane produced.
