Shrink Elizabeth lives with her loving husband in a pristine middle-class idyll. One day young Asa turns up at her office and tells her an unbelievable story that she cannot seem to shake in the days to come. The more she immerses herself in the boy’s life, the more she falls for it (and him)—and gradually, reality and insanity start to blur. It’s a small sensation Joe Lynch serves up here: an eldritch tale in the spirit of Stuart Gordon’s iconic Lovecraft adaptations Re-Animator and From Beyond—from the pen of the same screenwriter, Dennis Paoli. Suitable Flesh seems like a forgotten video-store gem from the late eighties: steamy, glowing, dangerous. A work of art!
