Fresh Blood

A struggling documentary filmmaker takes a job at a mysterious, exclusive restaurant rumored to serve the finest cuisine in the city. However, she soon discovers the horrifying secret behind the restaurant's success: its main ingredient is human flesh. As she uncovers the dark truth, she must fight for her survival against the sinister chefs and their wealthy, depraved clientele.

Fresh Blood received mixed to positive reviews, with critics praising its daring premise and blend of horror and dark comedy, while some found the pacing uneven and the gore excessive.

• Gory and darkly humorous, but sometimes struggles to balance its tones.

• A fresh take on the cannibal subgenre with a sharp social commentary.

• Visually striking and audacious, though not for the faint of heart.

Google audience: Audiences largely enjoyed the film's unique concept and satirical edge, appreciating the suspense and creative gore. Some viewers found the violence too extreme and the plot predictable.

Nominated for Best Feature Film at the Sitges Film Festival.

The film's director, S.J. Main, insisted on using real (ethically sourced) animal organs for some of the more gruesome prop work to achieve a visceral, unsettling effect.
