THE SUBSTANCE

2024 | Dir Coralie Fargeat | 141m | UK | France

Demi Moore plays a fading celebrity who decides to use a black-market cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself. This is a grisly fantasy-parable of misogyny and body objectification, but make no mistake, despite a humorous side, this is a full-on body horror movie with references to The Thing, Carrie, and The Picture of Dorian Gray, well deserving of its 18 ratings.
