Joe Lynch’s “Suitable Flesh,” based on H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Thing On The Doorstep,” is set to have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this month as part of the festival’s “Escape from Tribeca” lineup. The film will later make its debut at home from RLJE Films and Shudder.

To whet your appetite, take a look at an exclusive gallery of first-look images below, featuring Barbara Crampton returning to the world of H.P. Lovecraft, a realm she is well acquainted with by now.

Mark Ward, RLJE Films’ Chief Acquisitions Officer, commented, “The cast of Suitable Flesh, led by Heather Graham, delivers layered and complex performances in this fresh take on Lovecraft. We are thrilled to premiere this film at Tribeca, especially with the involvement of longtime collaborators, actor/producer Barbara Crampton and director Joe Lynch.”

Barbara Crampton takes the lead in Suitable Flesh, executive produced by Brian Yuzna (known for “Re-Animator”). The screenplay is written by Dennis Paoli, the screenwriter of “Re-Animator” and “From Beyond”—both Lovecraft adaptations that Crampton also starred in. With the combined talents of Paoli, Yuzna, Crampton, and Lynch, this new film promises to be something truly special.

In Suitable Flesh, Crampton portrays a once-esteemed psychiatrist who, after killing her young patient, helplessly witnesses her life spiraling into a nightmarish whirlwind of supernatural hysteria and gruesome deaths, all connected to an unstoppable ancient curse. Heather Graham, Judah Lewis, Bruce Davison, Johnathon Schaech, and Jonah Ray also feature in the film.

Joe Lynch expressed, “When I read Dennis Paoli’s adaptation of the story, I felt there was a fantastic opportunity to update and subvert Lovecraft’s often old-fashioned sensibilities in a way that felt modern, relevant, and even dangerous, with a pinch of 90s neo-noir and a dash of eroticism to spice up the stew. Working with Amp and such a fantastic cast, including Heather, Judah, Barbara, Bruce, and Johnathon, we are thrilled that this sexy, funny, scary film is not just a modernized love letter to Lovecraft, but the kind of provocatively entertaining ‘sin-ema’ that I believe audiences are eagerly anticipating.”

Barbara Crampton added, “We have been incredibly fortunate to work with top talent both behind and in front of the camera on our recent films. At Amp, our focus is on developing material that is not only memorable and thought-provoking for the audience but also fresh and unconventional enough to attract the very best creative collaborators. I was ecstatic when the formidable Joe Lynch and then Heather Graham came on board—her natural charm is always evident, but here we get to see a different untapped side of her abilities. I have been thrilled to join the seasoned pros at Amp, and we are only just getting started.”
