The Substance

physical release:31st march 2025
format: 4k uhd, blu-ray & DVD
coralie fargeat has crafted a new horror classic, combining the plastic reality edge of re-animator with the social commentary of they live in a film that is equal parts stylish and nasty. demi moore delivers a career-best performance as elisabeth, a former 1980s star struggling to find her place in modern hollywood, a role that earned her an academy award nomination. she is matched by margaret qualley as sue, the figure elisabeth envies yet may hold the key to her happiness. with standout performances, stylish direction, a bounding synth score, and copious amounts of blood and body horror, the film comes together perfectly.
