title:the substance
released:31st march 2025
Coralie Fargeat has managed to combine the plastic reality goodness of Re-animatior with the social commentary of They Live to make a new horror classic which is even parts stylish and nasty. Demi Moore delivers a career best performance (which also bagged her an Academy Award Nomination) as Elisabeth, a former star of the 1980s who is struggling to find her way in the modern landscape of Hollywood. Moore is supported by her opposite ‘Sue’ played by Margret Qualley, who is everything Elisabeth wants to be but might just be the key to her happiness. The performances, the stylish directing, the bounding synth score and the copious amounts of blood and body horror come together perfectly which has really resonated with audiences since its release and we are proud to name it our 2025 Fopp Film Of The Year.
