When your body is everybody else's property, every day is "Body Horror"
An incredible subversive horror film that speaks more to the experience of being a woman...any woman, in the world than perhaps any other film since Barbie. This could be seen as two sides of a coin... one pink and shiny, the other pink and slimy.

The Substance

Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? You. Only better in every way. You should try this new product, The Substance. IT CHANGED MY LIFE. It generates another you. A new, younger, more beautiful, more perfect, you. And there’s only one rule: You share time. One week for you. One week for the new you. Seven days each. A perfect balance. Easy. Right? If you respect the balance… what could possibly go wrong?

Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley take on this incredibly incisive look at the world of female stars and what happens when they age; by way of Director Coralie Fargeat‘s careful eye.

Jill, Dion and the younger hotter version of Quinny (who disappointingly looks exactly the same) are here for this exploration of body dysmorphia, female disempowerment, sexual politics and showering people in gouts of blood and viscera.

It’s a good time!
