Comically twisting the source genre away from the concept of the Final Girl, Fresh celebrates female camaraderie, resourcefulness, and good humour in the face of monstrous behaviour.

It’s as subtle as a sledgehammer, but Fresh’s audacious storytelling, full-throated performances and accomplished direction make for a tasty, wildly entertaining concoction.

As a statement of intent from two emerging filmmakers -- this is Kahn’s second feature script -- Fresh makes a potent impression. It’s stylish and smart where it counts, even if it occasionally veers into the unnecessarily didactic.

The combination of a sharp script, playful visuals, and killer performances creates an experience unlike many others. It’s a horror movie, a pitch-black comedy, and a rip-roaringly fun time.
