Though Fresh has been available since March 4th, 2022, people still seem to be watching it after all this time. The hype has not died down, and it seems like you hear of another person who just watched it and needs to tell everyone about it every week. The blend of gruesome horror, comedic levity, and social commentary is certainly effective, but the answer might just lie in the nasty premise of Fresh itself. The sheer nastiness taps into the psyche in a simple way, not ever reaching the complexity or multi-tiered terror of Hereditary or Get Out yet constantly giving off a disturbing atmosphere. That’s probably why it can get away with a few shortcomings and still come across as a successfully scary film.
