Film ThreatBobby LePireOct 26, 2023
Suitable Fresh is wild and weird, but it has something to say beneath all the kinks and mind games. Read full review

ColliderIsabella SoaresOct 26, 2023
In short, this is the perfect cinematic venture for those who are fond of chaotic, psychological thrillers that keep you engaged, but that don't keep you guessing when it all comes to a close. Read full review

The IndependentAdam WhiteNov 10, 2023
In a crowded field of dour horror, it’s a relief to find something so knowingly silly. Read full review

The Daily BeastNick SchagerOct 27, 2023
An affectionate homage that captures the psychosexual delirium of its genre inspirations, it’s a throwback chiller steeped in blood, kink, and the terrifying thrill of violation. Read full review

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerOct 23, 2023
Honestly, this may be the only horror film that invokes Red Shoe Diaries and Cthulhu equally. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichOct 26, 2023
Every winking iris shot and cheesy cross-dissolve adds to the timeless spirit of a film that knows beauty may be short-lived, but good schlock never dies. Read full review

We Got This CoveredScott CampbellOct 25, 2023
The spirit of Stuart Gordon is alive and well in Suitable Flesh, with Joe Lynch picking up the baton and delivering both an ode to his inspiration and a riotous horror comedy in its own right. Read full review

VarietyDennis HarveyOct 26, 2023
There’s no lack of effort here, but too often Suitable Flesh just feels effortful, rather than the outrageous good time aimed for. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawOct 25, 2023
Despite a very game lead performance from Heather Graham, and some amusing 90s-style erotic thriller mannerisms – voile curtains blowing on a hot summer night while a sex scene happens to a wafting sax accompaniment – this left me not knowing quite where to look. Read full review
