Suitable Flesh gets repetitive fast. It lacks an emotional core. By the third act, rather than wondering how things would get resolved, I simply found myself eager for an end to the villain's uninspired rants.

Suitable Flesh is less suitable than it is superlative: a playful, gleefully horny Lovecraftian thriller

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 2, 2024

It's difficult not to grin as a possessed Heather Graham grinds away on top of her dumbly delighted husband to the strains of some vintage softcore sax

| Original Score: 4 | Feb 28, 2024

Joe Lynch's foray into the world of Lovecraft is a horny, sexy, gory surprise that's anchored by a shockingly fun turn from Heather Graham. More roles like this for her, please!

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 27, 2024

Featuring fantastic performances by Heather Graham, Barbara Crampton and Judah Lewis, as well as Lynch's "playful" direction, Suitable Flesh is fresh and fun.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 21, 2024

Tonally, Lynch farts around with satire and camp, landing on a provocative and surreal form of neo-sleaze that’s part nighttime-cable soap opera, part ’80s slasher.

| Feb 6, 2024

With excellent performances from a strong cast, gloriously grim body horror and a cerebral, sexy, body-swapping storyline, Suitable Flesh is a unique watch that's worth your time.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 23, 2024

When one of my favorite filmmakers channels some of my other favorite filmmakers and makes a deeply personal movie inside of a gory, horny horror film, I'm probably going to love it. I love Suitable Flesh.

| Jan 10, 2024

Has a ton of talent in its corner the film just never amounts to anything I’d ever see again.

This material? Not very strong. These actors? Doing what they can with it and actually getting it to a pretty creepy place.

A throwback to certain beloved 1980s cult favorites, this twisted tale is exceedingly weird, darkly funny, and fairly edgy in ways that may only appeal to a particular breed of horror hounds.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 14, 2023

It’s a niche joke, to be fair, but anyone with a love for Gordon’s work or silly horror movies that don’t take themselves too seriously will be able to track what Lynch is going for immediately.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 4, 2023

It’s wild. It’s weird. Joe Lynch has crafted one hell of a Lovecraftian thrill ride.

| Nov 2, 2023

“Suitable Flesh” checks the boxes for those looking for the weird horror trifecta of gore, sex, and dark wit.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2023

It isn’t any scarier than a typical horror potboiler, but its sense of fun makes a difference.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2023

Lynch delivers an outrageous, unrestrained take on Lovecraft’s grim tale of mind-transference and the quest for immortality by an entity lacking any semblance of decency. The film is darkly comic at times, wickedly racy, and giddily grotesque.

| Oct 31, 2023

Lynch never nears the gleefully demented levels of gore and black humor that were Gordon’s hallmarks, but Suitable Flesh is still a fun if relatively mild homage.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 30, 2023

There are flashes of HP Lovecraft, but the film is otherwise steeped in tributes to Stuart Gordon, the late king of scuzzy, made-for-VHS horror... Here, that manifests in a splurge of self-parodic fun.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2023

For a movie with such a cluttered, kitchen-sink ramp-up, Suitable Flesh charges to a memorable conclusion that’s perfect for celebratory group viewing, whether at the local multiplex with other die-hard horror fans seeking a seasonal thrill.

| Oct 30, 2023

Despite its bumpy execution and general thinness, “Suitable Flesh” boasts a playfulness that feels ripe for slicing up and serving anew.
