- Quotes
Dr. Elizabeth Derby: No, wait. I was in your body.
Asa Waite: I was in yours.
Dr. Elizabeth Derby: No, no, I don't mean it like that. I mean, my, my mind was in your body.
Asa Waite: Well, I guess then, if anybody ever tells you to go fuck yourself. You tell them you have.
- Crazy creditsOne of the credits is, "Filmed In Cthulhuscope." While the viewer might consider this a special film process, like CinemaScope, this is actually a portmanteau of Cthulhu and CinemaScope. Cthulhu is a fictional cosmic entity created by H. P. Lovecraft, used in various ways in many of his stories.

Featured review
SUITABLE FLESH is loosely based on "The Thing On The Doorstep", by H. P. Lovecraft.
Psychiatrist, Dr. Elizabeth Derby (Heather Graham) has a loving husband (Johnathan Schaech) and a thriving practice. One day, a young man (Judah Lewis) shows up at her office, unannounced. Once Elizabeth agrees to see him, her life begins to change in bizarre, uncontrollable ways. Soon, she is caught up in a whirlwind of sex, murder, and the supernatural.
This is an occult tale of demonic soul / spirit transference, where an ancient entity jumps from body to body, causing mayhem. Both Ms. Graham and Mr. Lewis do an admirable job during their personality shifts / exchanges. Barbara Crampton has a vital supporting role as Elizabeth's best friend, Dr. Daniella Upton. Don't miss her during the jaw-dropping, gore-drenched final act!
A well-realized horror film, it's the sort of movie the late Stuart Gordon might have made...
