‘The Substance’: What Is Demi Moore’s Satiricial Horror Movie About?

Demi Moore is the protagonist of the new horror and sci-fi movie ‘The Substance.’

In preparation for her role, Demi explained to Deadline that “​​It was about being less in shape in a certain sense as opposed to like — the prep that went into it first and foremost was really emotional and internal. Like, really connecting on the deeper level to the desperation and the pain and rejection that Elisabeth is facing at the beginning of this and that kind of depth of fear and self-loathing.” Directed by Coralie Fargeat, the two-hour and 21-minute film follows the story of “a fading celebrity who resorts to using a black-market drug—a cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, enhanced version of herself,” according to IMDb.
