A bit too campy
29 January 2024
Suitable Flesh is a bit too campy for my tastes. I understand the retro take, paying homage to the over the top camp horror of the 80s and 90s. But this movie seems to slap that take onto some David Lynch or Brian DiPalma sexy thriller. The two don't mix well if not managed well. Director Joe Lynch makes a decent film technically, but the overall story and plotting fail to provide something more than the cheesy qualities clashing with the attempts for sexy supernatural thriller. And the Lovecraftian aspect of the creature seem a bit stale in this presentation. The endless nature of the creature just felt depressing. It seemed as if they were trying for a fresh presentation of an old and often used idea borrowing from some stylistic elements of other directors.
