The Substance is hailed an 'instant classic' as critics brand the 'disgusting and dread-inducing' body-horror a 'sledgehammer parable for the Ozempic generation'
Starring Hollywood's highest paid actress Demi Moore, The Substance tells the story of Elisabeth Sparkle, a famed aerobics instructor with a televised show.
A blood-soaked dystopian satire of the male gaze, The Substance takes a VERY graphic approach to speaking truth to power - but it's the film's 'deliciously unhinged and dread-inducing' levels of gore that have really commanded the critics' attention Feeling rejected by a town that once loved her and despairing over her bygone star power, Elisabeth learns from a handsome young nurse about a black-market drug that promises to turn the user into a 'younger, more beautiful, more perfect' version of them self. While Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent noted: 'The Substance's final stretch descends into a full-blown, blood-fountain homage to gross-out cult classics like Brian Yuzna's 1989 horror film Society.
