El Paseo 6
After quitting dating apps, a woman meets the supposedly perfect man and accepts his invitation to a romantic weekend getaway, only to find that her new paramour has been hiding some unusual appetites. FRESH follows Noa (Daisy Edgar-Jones), who meets the alluring Steve (Sebastian Stan) at a grocery store and - given her frustration with dating apps - takes a chance and gives him her number. After their first date, Noa is smitten and accepts Steve's invitation to a romantic weekend getaway, only to find that her new paramour has been hiding some unusual appetites. Fed up with looking for companionship in all the wrong places, disillusioned Noa is done with the dating scene. Then, after an endless series of awful first dates with deluded losers, handsome stranger Steve's magnetic personality catches Noa by surprise. And just like that, Noa decides to give hope a second chance. After all, a loveless life is a life without meaning. But now that she is back in the game, with a sudden surge of potent endorphins flooding her body, Noa must face love's greatest torture: the mysterious, vague uncertainty creeping up on her. Is her Prince Charming too good to be true? If Noa based her choice on the moment, has she bitten off more than she can chew? —Nick Riganas Warning. Contains spoilers Noa and Mollie are best friends and share their lives to each other all the time. Noa uses dating apps to meet young men and tells Mollie how the usually disappointing date was. When she meets the handsome Steve in the supermarket, he hits one her and Noa dates him. She learns that he is from Texas, he is a medical resident and has neither social media nor family. They have one-night stand and Noa takes a picture of his face while sleeping. She sends it to Mollie, and she tells Noa that Steve cannot be trusted since he has no social media. When Steve invites Noa to travel to a surprising place during a romantic weekend, Mollie warns her friend not to go. But Noa goes with Steve, and he tells her to spend the night at his fancy home to travel early in the morning. They drink and Steve drugs Noa that wakes up on a mattress in an empty room and chained to the floor. Soon she learns that Steve is a butcher that kidnaps young women to sell their flesh to a selected group of flesh eaters by an expensive price. Meanwhile Mollie looks for her friend and tries to identify her boyfriend. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Noa (Daisy Edgar-Jones), a woman from Portland, is increasingly disillusioned with online dating and the rude men she encounters. A man calling himself Steve (Sebastian Stan) flirts with her at a supermarket and they exchange numbers. On their first date, the two form a bond. After several dates, Steve invites Noa for a weekend getaway to a surprise destination. Against the advice of her best friend Mollie, Noa agrees. Planning to travel early the following day, Noa spends the evening at Steve's luxury home, but he drugs her drink and she collapses. Noa awakens in captivity, chained to the floor. Steve explains that he is a butcher of human meat, which he both consumes and sells to wealthy gastronomic cannibals[a] for whom he regularly lures and abducts young women. He informs Noa that he will keep her alive as long as possible in order to keep her meat fresh as he intends to surgically remove pieces of her body over time. Noa speaks to a woman named Penny who is being held captive in an adjacent cell, who says that she has suffered multiple meat harvests and that another woman, Melissa, has gone insane. Noa attempts to escape when given an opportunity to shower and Steve harvests meat from her buttocks as punishment. Meanwhile, Mollie becomes concerned about Noa's disappearance and begins investigating with her friend Paul, a bartender who served Noa and Steve on their first date. After searching online, Mollie discovers Steve is actually named Brendan and is married to a woman named Ann with whom he has children. Mollie visits Ann and informs her of Brendan's apparent affair. Brendan arrives and denies any knowledge of Noa when questioned by Mollie. As she leaves, Mollie calls Noa's phone, which begins ringing in Brendan's pocket. Ann, realizing she's been exposed, knocks Mollie unconscious. In a shower scene, Ann is shown to have a prosthetic leg. Noa learns from Penny that she is the only prisoner who had sex with Brendan. She makes herself more alluring and pretends to be curious about the taste of human meat. Brendan invites her to share a gourmet dish of human meat with him, which Noa pretends to enjoy but secretly vomits up. Meanwhile, Brendan takes Mollie away for harvesting. Brendan invites Noa to a formal dinner, providing her a pink dress to wear. Between dishes, Brendan shows Noa a concealed case containing the belongings of two dozen victims; amongst the trophies, Noa recognizes Mollie's phone. Following dinner and dancing, Noa persuades Brendan to have sex with her and let her perform fellatio on him; she injures him by biting his manhood. Noa helps Mollie and Penny escape their cells while Brendan attends to his injury. After using the dumbwaiter to carry multiple-amputee Penny out of the basement, the three fight Brendan in the kitchen, then escape into the woods. Brendan pursues them with a handgun. In the meantime, Paul becomes concerned when Mollie doesn't respond to messages and follows the location of her phone to Brendan's house. However, he questions what he is doing and drives away upon hearing gunshots. In the woods, Noa, Mollie, and Penny attack Brendan again. Noa takes the gun and shoots him dead. Ann arrives, finds Brendan's body, and orders a companion to put it in the walk-in freezer. Ann encounters Noa in the woods and tries to strangle her, but Noa stabs Ann in the neck with car keys. As Ann recovers and attempts to strangle Noa again, Mollie bludgeons Ann to death with a shovel. Noa and Mollie relax at last, and Noa receives a booty call text from a toxic man she dated before Brendan. A mid-credits scene depicts five of Brendan's clients in a white room, seated at a table with bleeding human meat at the center. —emmagambrill
