Rating: Not Rated Stars: Rachel Michiko Whitney, Cooper van Grootel, Tom Williamson, David Lambert, Paige Elkington, Ali Fumiko Whitney, Barbara Crampton, Zachary Bird Writer: Brandon Murphy Director: Brandon Murphy Distributor: Gravitas Ventures Release Date: April 2, 2024 (digital) Technically, SNOW VALLEY could be described as a contemporary Gothic horror comedy. That would give the wrong impression, though. SNOW VALLEY isn’t making fun of Gothic horror so much as it is having fun within that genre’s conventions. It’s not a parody, but rather a dark comedy of manners that overlaps with lethal danger. Writer/director Brandon Murphy begins the film with a […]Read On »

SUITABLE FLESH makes its Shudder debut on January 26, and is also available on home video. The body horror film is a modern, gender-swapped take on H.P. Lovecraft’s novella “The Thing on the Doorstep.” Most of SUITABLE FLESH is in the form of an extended flashback, as psychiatrist Dr. Elizabeth Derby (Heather Graham), currently confined to a padded cell, explains her version of recent events to her friend and colleague Dr. Daniella Upton, played by Barbara Crampton (one of the film’s producers). Joe Lynch directed and is one of the executive producers on SUITABLE FLESH, which was written for the […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Heather Graham, Judah Lewis, Bruce Davison, Johnathon Schaech, Barbara Crampton, Hunter Womack Writer: Dennis Paoli, based on the story “The Thing on the Doorstep” by H.P. Lovecraft Director: Joe Lynch Distributor: RLJE Films/Shudder Release Date: October 27, 2023 SUITABLE FLESH is body-swap horror based on the story “The Thing on the Doorstep” by H.P. Lovecraft. If the film doesn’t feel especially Lovecraftian, it’s worth it to check out the original, at least after viewing. This shows us how nimbly screenwriter Dennis Paoli (a stalwart collaborator of the late Lovecraftian filmmaker Stuart Gordon) has retained the tale’s […]Read On »
