Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Substance (2024).
New drama/horror film The Substance stars Demi Moore as a fading celebrity. One who decides to use a cell-replicating black market drug that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself.
Directed by Coralie Fargeat; additional key cast includes Margaret Qualley, Joseph Balderrama and Dennis Quaid.
Exciting madness is the phrase that came to mind as I watched this one.
The cast, the premise and the fact that I fully enjoyed key aspects of the visual style of Revenge (2018), the last Fargeat movie I saw are additional reasons to see this.
I also like that this appears to be a fun role for Moore, Quaid and Qualley. Honestly, it looks like fun for everyone – future audiences included.
Lastly, I’m pretty sure that The Substance is a non-nightmare-inducing kind of horror, unlike the soon-to-be-released Alien – Romulus.
Now, with all the above said, can I consider you curious?
Joseph Balderrama, Alexandra Papoulias Barton, Tiffany Hofstetter, Vincent Colombe, Gore Abrams, Jiselle Henderkott, Matthew Géczy, Olivier Raynal, Oscar Lesage and Hugo Diego Garcia also star.
The Substance Release Dates: August 20th, 2024 (UK); September 20th, 2024 (US)…
Happy Film Loving,

The Movie My Life 
I’d love to watch this right now. Very cool trailer, and tease.
Me too! It looks so visually fun.
I had no idea Demi Moore is back in action. It looks like we are in for some insanely fun visuals!
Yes, and YES! 🥳🥂
Curious! Stunning visuals. I love the wide angle shot of Denis Quaid, “..Smile!”
Yes, a whole bunch of great shots in this one. Quaid and Moore’s characters are certainly intriguing.
Not real interested in it, but I will wait for your review 🙂
Understandable. 🤓 I can’t wait to find out how I’ll feel about it. Fingers crossed for a great result. 🙏🤞🤞
This film was an hour and 10 min too long
Interesting. 🤓 A friend said something similar because she spent at least half the time hiding behind her jacket, due to the intense body horror of it all.
It wasn’t that gross to me. I was expecting something far worse.
