‘THE SUBSTANCE’ (Starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley) | Official Trailer | MUBI (9/20)

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Yeah 8/10. The unnecessary fight scene and gore at the end killed it.

I thought it was well done with the social commentary. Great acting too by demi

Visuals and colors was dope too. Great contrast to the darkness and depressive tone.

The fight scene pissed me off, threw the script off but recovered it all back with the Live broadcast TV nastiness.

This made me laugh. I'd also watch this version of The Substance.

 

[Uncle Baby Billy]

Cool movie. Made me lose my apetite for the day.

He Tyler perry'd the ending but overall the movie was a really fun ride.

8/10

Watching now. Demi really showing off all the goods?

She got a low hanging ass, but I’d still go in.

This is a really good film, but got damn, how do you fukk up the ending? That demonic bloodbath shot with the music was so out of place. It’s like the writer went on an acid/mushroom trip and threw shyt on the wall.

The body horror was great. Demi was good. Not Academy winner good, but still good. Quaid’s character was an annoying c*nt i wanted to punch in the face. I wasn’t expecting so much nudity, and not just that but the shots they used.

Regarding a part in the end:

Spoiler

Why did they have the showgirls have their titties out for a tv special? And not just that, but kids were in the audience. Really creep shyt.

This is a movie that will probably be more enjoyable on rewatches, despite the ending.

I was rewatching Tales From the Crypt (still great btw) and Demi Moore starred in one of the early episodes, just before she blew up with Ghost.

It’s crazy how many well known actors were in Tales. I watched the one with Pesci recently and I remembered the ending from watching it back in the day.

 

[MenacingMonk]

This was shot for under 20 mil?!

I thought it was amazing, prob my second favorite movie of the year. The ending was ridiculous but worked. One thing I disagree with is the idea that just because there's body horror the film is "Cronenberg-ian" or whatever. Feels like watching a random crime film with a bank robbery scene and saying it's Mann-like. The tone never really felt like Cronenberg's body horror stuff (The Fly, for instance). If anything the comical satire tone felt more like a Verhoeven film to me.

First time I saw the end of this movie I was on edibles and my brain couldn’t really process what I was seeing

Like I was seeing it but nothing was registering. It was just weird images. But then I watched the ending again the next day and actually understood what the hell it was supposed to mean and it was very enjoyable.
