Demi Moore Body Horror Shocker ‘The Substance’ to Open TIFF Midnight Madness Section


Demi Moore's Cannes sensation 'The Substance' will lead the Midnight Madness section at TIFF this year.

Also on the lineup, veteran music video and film director Joseph Kahn will show “Ick,” a tribute to ‘80s creature features starring former TV Superman Brandon Routh and “American Beauty” actor Mena Suvari. Two found-footage projects are on deck: “Dead Mail,” a SXSW player from Joe DeBecker and Kyle McConaghy, which evokes a vintage midwestern aesthetic for a story about a sinister Post Office department; and “It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This,” a meta adventure about a couple who rent a haunted duplex to make a movie that might, well, get them into the Midnight Madness section at TIFF. Titled “Friendship,” the movie is produced by the team behind the quarantine-era sensation “Barbarian” and a follows a mild-mannered man (Robinson) whose life starts unraveling when a dynamic weatherman (Rudd) moves into the neighborhood.
