A wild new trailer for Joe Lynch’s H.P. Lovecraft-inspired horror Suitable Flesh has been unveiled. The campy horror stars Heather Graham as psychiatrist Elizabeth Derby, who, according to the first seconds in the trailer, seems to be doing pretty well: she’s got the perfect life, the perfect husband, and the perfect career. But things begin to unravel pretty quickly as Elizabeth begins an affair with a young patient suffering an extreme personality disorder.
