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.
