Synopsis
Suitable Flesh (2023) is Joe Lynch's American horror-thriller, free to watch online on iFILM. It opens at the end of the story: locked in a psychiatric ward, Elizabeth Derby tells a colleague how a respected therapist managed to wreck her own life this badly.
It started with a single patient. A young man comes to Elizabeth mid-seizure, suddenly speaking in someone else's voice — his father's, he insists, a man trying to climb into his body and take it over. Fascinated, the doctor breaks her own rules and gets far too close. What follows has no clinical explanation: identities slide from one body to another, the morgue starts filling with mangled corpses, and an old curse drags Elizabeth further down.
Dennis Paoli adapted the script from H. P. Lovecraft's story "The Thing on the Doorstep," and Heather Graham plays several versions of her heroine at once. Beside her is Barbara Crampton, a genre icon since the eighties. Lynch shoots it with relish and a streak of black comedy: plenty of gore, not much solemnity. A solid pick for anyone who wants Lovecraftian mayhem without the slow arthouse pretense. Stream Suitable Flesh (2023) online on iFILM.
