The Flesh
This film is an adaptation of the 1933 short story "The Thing on the Doorstep" by H.P. Lovecraft.,Featured in Nightmare on Film Street: Nightmare Alley: Talking Lovecraft, Barbara Crampton, and Panic Fest 2023 with Director Joe Lynch (2023),I thought this was a great spin on Lovecraft and it had all the expected elements: It was gory, it was sexy, it had otherworldly presence to get where it was going, and it had mind-bending perverse twists. And the cast- who better to play these parts than the 4 chosen leads, which includes a still-got-it Heather Graham and Barbara Crampton? The script, acting, and on-screen charisma was great, and I stayed entertained and engaged the full run time. Maybe my score is slightly generous, but this is not a cheapy production with lousy technique. I thought the experience was solid, and Lovecraftian done well. Definitely recommend for Lovecraft fans, and good bendy horror in general.,"Rick and Morty," After Everything, and Five Nights at Freddy's are three of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
