Fresh: Every Sign That Steve Was A [SPOILER]
Warning! SPOILERS forFresh.
Approximately 33 minutes into the movie, Hulu's Fresh takes a horrific turn when it is revealed that Steve, the film's male love interest, is a cannibal who entraps and slowly kills young women for profit. Here are all the hints that foreshadow this twist and suggest that Steve is not quite what he seems.

However, unlike the protagonists in many films in the horror genre, Noa does not seem incautious, illogical, or unintelligent. Fresh waits so long before showing its true colors, namely because it wants the audience to be lulled into the same false sense of security that Noa is. She doesn't make any ridiculous decisions, or take more risks than any other woman in the real world does when agreeing to a date. After two dates in which Steve decidedly did not kidnap her, there is no reason for Noa to expect anything of the sort to happen on the third.
