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.

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Aiden Gillen, Aisling Kearns, Gary Lydon, Helen Behan, Deirdre Donnelly, Liam Carney, Irma Mali, Steve Wall Writers: Fiona Bergin & Fintan Connolly Director: Fintan Connolly Distributor: Brainstorm Media Release Date: September 22, 2023 BARBER is in many ways solidly in the tradition of the private eye thriller. However, there are several changes from convention. For one, we’re in present-day Dublin, somewhere in COVID times; lockdown is over, but nobody is sure when or wear to wear masks, when to shake hands. And nobody carries a gun. Our hero, Valentine Barber (Aiden Gillen), is a low-rent private […]Read On »
