Suitable Flesh possesses enough commendable aspects to warrant a watch, though it doesn't stand out significantly in its genre

I recently viewed Suitable Flesh (2023) on Shudder. The plot revolves around a psychiatrist encountering a troubled young man who claims someone is attempting to seize control of his body. He expresses fear of his father and insists there's something inside him. As the psychiatrist aids him, she realizes that what's inside him might be fixated on entering her own body.Directed by Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2), the film stars Heather Graham (Boogie Nights), Judah Lewis (The Babysitter), Bruce Davison (X-Men), Barbara Crampton (From Beyond), and Johnathon Schaech (Prom Night).The movie introduces unique elements and a compelling premise that maintains viewer interest. Heather Graham's performance is solid, and although some circumstances feel more authentic than others, the fall scenes fall short. However, the kills, gore, and blood splatter are executed excellently. The cinematography adds a creative and enjoyable touch, and the unconventional resolution, not culminating in a happy ending, left me satisfied.In summary, Suitable Flesh possesses enough commendable aspects to warrant a watch, though it doesn't stand out significantly in its genre. I'd give it a 6/10 and suggest seeing it once.

Suitable Flesh

Heather Graham is the successful psychiatrist "Elizabeth" who finds her daily routine interrupted by a visit from the seemingly paranoid "Asa" (Judah Lewis). Initially sceptical, she begins to become intrigued with his story that he is being persecuted by a man, on the phone, who is threatening him. Indeed one such call induces a sort of fit from the young man! A visit to his home, and she is hooked into a mystery that is somewhat reminiscent of "Fallen" (1998) as it turns our erstwhile respectable physician into someone reduced to some rather lively, impromptu, nookie before incarceration in a padded cell trying to convince her close friend "Dr. Dani" (Barbara Crampton) that she's not completely deranged. This starts off quite interestingly, with a solid effort from Lewis as the troubled youth - but as it progresses and it becomes clear to us just what is going on, the film begins to fall away and lose any potency. The last half hour is violent and brutal, but suffers from a lack of plausibility - in this or any other dimension - and it becomes repetitive and shows up the really mediocre quality of both the writing and the acting. It is watchable, if only for Lewis, but equally forgettable stuff.
