    • 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 credits
      One 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.

    I Struggled.

    I was looking forward to watching Suitable Flesh, it seemed like something I would love, however, I was left rather disappointed. I couldn't get into it at all, it just seemed to aggravate me to the point that I was struggling not to turn it off.

    I know it's meant to be campy 80s-like horror. I get it. I just couldn't get past the acting which is flat and robotic to me.

    I think the best thing about this film is Barbara, My god she looks amazing. (big Reanimator fan here) So perhaps it was worth watching it for that reason alone. I may go back and give this film another go, as I really want to like it.
