Our TV movie pick for tonight (Friday, 21 March) is Fresh, the excellent 2022 horror thriller starring Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People) and recent Oscar-nominee Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice).
The film centres around Noa (Edgar-Jones), a young woman increasingly disillusioned with dating who thinks her luck has turned around when she meets Steve (Stan), a guy who seems perfect.
After several great dates, Steve invites Noa for a weekend break away alone with him. There, however, he reveals he has been hiding some "unusual appetites".
To reveal anymore would spoil some of the twisty thrills of Fresh so we'll just say that the movie doubles as a compellingly disturbing horror thriller and a dark satire of modern dating culture.
It also benefits from three great performances from Edgar-Jones, Stan and Jonica T. Gibbs - playing Noa's best friend - as well as from first-time feature filmmaker Mimi Cave's stylish direction.
In regards to the latter, particularly great is the moment about 30 minutes into Fresh when its title finally appears on screen as the movie switches genres from rom-com into something much darker.
Holding an 82% Rotten Tomatoes score, Fresh is airing tonight/tomorrow morning on Channel 4 at 12.10am. It is also available to stream on Disney+.
