Fresh Hell

I was hooked from the very intense beginning to the crazy-ass end. The cast did a phenomenal job at making us feel how uncomfortable, confused, and scared the characters were.

I'm a big fan of juxtaposition in film, so the way they were able to be so intensely chilling and hilarious at the same time was incredible.

And the message they had behind the writing, damn.

Definitely recommend giving it a watch if you enjoy chilling horror with a nice palette cleanser thats got something to say.

Man did this movie crawl right under my skin. Lots of great ideas and a delightfully sadistic performance by Ryan Imhoff. That guys is completely twisted!

Overall, this wasn't a bad movie. It was an interesting concept and did a fairly decent of capturing the feel of the COVID lockdown period. The scene where the villain Zoom-bombs the protagonists' online party was both funny and creepy.

The acting was a bit uneven. Some of the characters were pretty well done, but others were really bad. The villain in particular ruined it for me. Apparently, he was going for an "over the top" psycho and used Jim Carrey as his model. I just couldn't get passed the fact that he just seemed to be doing a really bad Jim Carrey impression. I kept waiting for him to bust out some lines from Ace Ventura or The Cable Guy.

Ryan Imhoff, manages to bring Zoom into the horror movie genre in a unique and brilliant way. His performance throughout the movie and especially at the last scene is unrivaled. Excellent dance performance by Christina Reis. The movie is not only creepy but has deep meaning and makes you think. Very worthwile watching! Is there a "Fresh Hell 2" in the works? I certainly hope so.

I felt really badly knowing that someone put a lot of work into this project. I felt as if they thought they were witty when crafting the dialogue. The acting was like a film class. The emotions were not realistic. The last set was nice. I genuinely didn't like the stranger. I suppose I wasn't supposed to like him so that can be considered a win. It was just written over the top from start to finish. It wasn't a slow build. The mystery of it wasn't engaging. I have seen a few other zoom split screen movies. I understand the low budget convenience. The others weren't good either. I am certain it could be done well. The others I saw were also elimination murders.
