Stuart Gordon and 1980's Erotic Thrillers Tribute Suitable Flesh has World Premiere during Tribeca Film Festival
U.S. Festival Premieres, World Premieres | Jun 11, 2023
In the thriller Suitable Flesh, a successful psychiatrist named Elizabeth Derby (Heather Graham) becomes obsessed with one of her young clients with multiple personalities. Now the doctor, who previously had a loving husband and the world at her fingertips, finds herself locked up inside a psych ward after the murder of the young male patient to whom she had an inexplicable, almost otherworldly attraction.
Hoping to clear her name, Elizabeth confides in her doctor and recounts what happened, giving way to a bizarre and disturbing tale of sexual madness, supernatural horror, and homicidal rage. The deeper the story goes, the more unhinged and carnage-laden life becomes, not just for Elizabeth but for everyone in her path.
In this cinematic love letter to horror filmmaker Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond), veteran indie filmmaker Joe Lynch provides an unpredictable and delightfully perverted gift to fans of everything from erotic thrillers to body horror and H.P Lovecraft-minded cosmic mayhem. With a script from Re-Animator scribe Dennis Paoli, produced by ’80s horror maven Brian Yuzna (Society), and co-starring Re-Animator star Barbara Crampton, Suitable Flesh will bring back memories of the grindhouse and classic cult horror.
