Spoiler-Free Review of “Suitable Flesh” on Shudder: Sexually Explicit “Freaky Friday” is Full of Welcomed Camp!

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“Friends are the most dangerous…”

Suitable Flesh released on Shudder on January 26th 2024. It previously had a limited theatrical release on October 27th 2023. The horror film stars Heather Graham, Barbara Crampton, Judah Lewis, and Jonathon Schaech. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-eight minutes.

A psychiatrist becomes obsessed with helping a young patient who is tormented by extreme personality disorder, but when she becomes too involved, she quickly learns that something supernatural may be to blame, targeting her and those closest to her.

Here is the trailer:

Suitable Flesh may be completely mad, but it is filled with satisfying camp and a cast to die for. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Graham and Crampton are electric on screen!

They DOMINATED this film and ate up every single minute of screen time with fantastic performances. I loved the moments when they were both together because I really believed their friendship and thought they had great chemistry together. Plus, can we talk about how they both look like they haven’t aged a day?

Heather Graham was almost unrecognizable in the best way possible. She really committed to this role and then some. Perfection!

Horror B Movie Gold!

This was clearly a lower budget film, but it still managed to provide the audience with an addicting plot that was trippy and insane. It helped having such a great cast to elevate things, but as long as you manage your expectations and expect for things to go completely off the rails, you’ll have a good time as a horror fan.

The Cons:

The first half is a little shaky…

I’ll be honest…I was really unsure about this one when I started it. I wasn’t fully connecting to it (even though the premise was interesting) and I was starting to lose interest, but then the second half found its groove and went all in. It was so much fun to watch and it really let go, allowing its cast members to shine.

If you’re having doubts at first, stick around, but be aware of the sluggish initial pacing.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Suitable Flesh is deranged and completely bonkers in a deliciously satisfying way.

Sit back and enjoy the ride. It may be insane, but it’s so much fun!
