The Substance Movie

December 28, 2024

by Deonte

THE SUBSTANCE is a body horror movie with a dark comedy edge and lots of psychological horror. An absolute masterpiece starring the scary good Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley. Read our full The Substance movie review here!

When women “age out”

In The Substance, we meet Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) as she is fired from her fitness TV show. A show she has done for decades after an amazing career as an A-list actor.

She is fired by the gross and off-putting studio head aptly named Harvey (Dennis Quaid), who wants fresh meat. Elisabeth Sparkle has aged out and he wants someone younger, fresher, bouncier, and tighter.

Never mind that the show is targeted at women, and only men partake in producing, judging, and casting the new star. White and older men at that.
