‘Fresh’ starring Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar Jones has social media wanting more

By Jessie N. Wilson

This weekend, fans were treated to a surprise with the new horror movie Costs with Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar-Jones. The movie premiered on Hulu on Friday, and a lot of people weren’t ready for the big twists. So far, online commentators seem to want more from screenwriter Lauryn Kahn, director Mimi Cave, the ensemble cast, and this horror niche in general.

Fair warning: there are spoilers for Costs before. The new stars Edgar-Jones as Noa, a young woman discouraged by the dating scene. After showing how badly online dating goes for her at first, the film focuses on her new romance with a man named Steve (Stan). After a few dates, Noa ignores her defensive instincts and agrees to go on a trip with Steve, only to find that he is more violent and twisted than any of the men she had tried to date before.

The film takes a running form of cruelty to a hyper-literal level in much the same way as other recent horror movies like get out did, and the effect was surprising to many viewers this weekend. Some walked in not knowing what to expect, and were completely taken aback. Others urged friends and family to watch the film, believing its message to be timely and important.

Costs is streaming now on Hulu, and at this time there are no plans for a follow-up. However, if you read fan tweets ahead of time, you’ll see that many are looking forward to Kahn and Cave’s next collaboration.

“Prequel, sequel, whatever”

Fans wanted to see a spin-off taking the concepts into Costs further, and many weren’t picky about where it might lead.
