If you like your horror Lovecraftian then we’ve got good news! Director and friend of Downright Creepy Joe Lynch’s new film Suitable Flesh is set to hit theaters and VOD later this year. Fresh off its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, Fangoria has a new teaser trailer that’s making us even more excited for it. We’ve also got the plot blurb for Suitable Flesh below:
“After murdering her young patient, a once-esteemed psychiatrist helplessly watches her life spiral into a nightmarish maelstrom of supernatural hysteria and gruesome deaths, all linked to a seemingly unstoppable ancient curse.”
Starring in the film we have Barbara Crampton, Heather Graham, Johnathon Schaech, Jonah Ray, Judah Lewis, and Bruce Davison. And in exciting news behind the scenes is Brian Yuzna (Re-Animator) executive producing with a script written by Dennis Paoli, the screenwriter for Re-Animator and From Beyond.
If there’s anyone suited to honor Stuart Gordon’s legacy it’s Joe Lynch. He recently said “When I read Dennis Paoli’s adaptation of the story, I felt like there was a fantastic opportunity to update and subvert Lovecraft’s often old-fashioned sensibilities in a way that felt modern, relevant and even dangerous, with a pinch of 90’s neo-noir and a dash of eroticism to spice up the stew. Working with Amp and such a fantastic cast – including Heather, Judah, Barbara, Bruce and Johnathon – we’re so excited that this sexy, funny, scary film isn’t just a modernized love letter to Lovecraft, but the kind of provocatively entertaining “sin-ema” I believe audiences are salivating for!”
With all that said we’re definitely eager to see this one! Check out the teaser below and keep your eyes peeled for theatrical and VOD release dates!
