Heather Graham and Nina Dobrev are each headlining an upcoming movie where they have to don hospital gowns, but beyond that the two films don’t have much in common.

Heather Graham stars in Suitable Flesh, from RLJE Films, which is based on H.P. Lovecraft’s 1993 short story The Thing on the Doorstep, as psychiatrist Elizabeth Derby, who becomes obsessed with a seductive younger patient (Judah Lewis) suffering extreme personality disorder. Yet Elizabeth soon realizes there is a dark occult danger to being in his presence.

In the trailer, for the “sexy body swap adventure,” Graham seems like she’s becoming possessed by what co-star and veteran scream queen Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator) calls an “entity [that] has traveled through time taking over different people’s bodies.”

In an interview with Indie Wire, Graham described Suitable Flesh as a “mixture of a cult-y horror thriller erotic. There’s an aspect of an erotic thriller but there’s definitely also a lot of horror. There’s a fun cult movie aspect to it. I think it’s unusual and fun and that it has aspects of things that you can relate to, but it’s also its own thing.”

Suitable Flesh is directed by Joe Lynch from a screenplay by Dennis Paoli and also stars Jonathan Schaech, Bruce Davison and Jonah Ray. The movie premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival to strong reviews and hits theaters on October 27th. It will also be available on Shudder.

Nina Dobrev, on the other hand, is fronting a more light-hearted, if cringy, comedy of errors called Sick Girl, coming from Lionsgate Movies.

“When Wren Pepper (Nina Dobrev) feels her closest friends slipping away, she lets loose a little white lie that snowballs into a colossal, life-altering event. Jennifer Cram’s feature film debut is a hilarious take on the price of insecurity and the rewards of true friendship. Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs), Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Brandon Mychal Smith (Four Weddings and a Funeral) and Sherry Cola (Good Trouble) join Dobrev in a brilliant comedy you won’t want to miss,” reads the official synopsis.

Wren says in the trailer, “My friends are sleepwalking through their lives, and they were forgetting about me. Later, she says, “these girls are my family. They matter on a level that blood never could.”

While trying to reconnect with them, something compels Wren to blurt out, “I have cancer!”

Wren struggles with the guilt about lying, but is also enjoying time with her friends reliving youthful hijinks (including a trip to jail). One person knows her secret though – will he tell all, or just convince Wren to do the right thing?

According to the synopsis, Sick Girl is “a hilarious take on the price of insecurity and the rewards of true friendship.” Jennifer Cram wrote and directed the film, her feature debut, which will be in select theaters and on Video on Demand on October 20th.
