Considering Demi’s relationship with her own aging process, it’s actually really cool that she starred in this movie. I bet it was real cathartic for her. I hope she does more interesting movies like this because she’s a good actor.
@@DannyPodcast The word "actor" is a unisex word because the suffix "or" means "one who" so it just means "one who acts." The word actress came later, probably when women became allowed to act on stage as a way to differentiate male and female actors. My sister, who was an actor, corrected me on this when I was young saying that they are all just actors.
@@DannyPodcast I know some terms are difficult for you to understand. For decades they've been referring to them as actors. Not being able to understand this is a very small brain problem
I respectfully disagree. The scene with Denethor was simply longer and had much more tension in it. Dennis Quaid is more a comedic character in the movie than a menacing one. The anti-ASMR shrimp eating is still disgusting though.
Not only did I felt grossed out, but the way that Coralie uses body horror to show how women feel with all these unreachable standards, also made me feel really moved
@@ulicesvilla6995idk I think people making it worse than it seems, there is a LOT of body horror, that is true but it is made in a sense that it doesn't even look humanoid/ realistic, its bordeline a fantasy, also it's funny sometimes intentionally or not so it makes disgusting scenes more barrable to get through
This is the ultimate body horror film of the decade. I haven't seen a film that grossed me out like this in a while. It just escalates continuously to a point of unpredictable insanity lol
Body horror is such a fascinating concept for audiences. It takes something so familiar to us, our bodies, and twists it into something scarier than any foreign idea. However, some body horror movies rely more on shock than humanizing the characters being transformed. Hopefully, The Substance has substance.
I saw it this afternoon and in my humble opinion the Substance has both shock and substance. I really didn't know what to expect except for the trailer but the film transcends the trailer by every metric.
As a person with body dysmorphia, fear of aging and love for the horor movies, I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie. I'm just glad somebody had the idea to talk about this haunting subject through a body horror genre. The struggle is real, more and more people want to achieve this unrealistic physical standard of the best version of yourself possible. No matter what you achieve, there is still more to do, more to improve. In theory we should take care of ourselves and accept our flaws, the things outside of our control,but in practice it is very hard to do and the whole things reminds of some vicious cycle.
I agree!! From the trailers I could tell that this film has deeper layers of body dysmorphia, perfectionism, self hatred, rejection, and the societal/inner pressures of beauty, perfection, anti aging, and thinness.
Haven’t seen it yet, but regardless of whether I like it or not I’m just happy to see Demi Moore get some long overdue appreciation. Edit: I get the Critical Grifter crowd thrive out of trying to force division amongst people, but you do realise you’re not going to make some weird war between Jeremy and Chris happen right? The two have met, talked about films, have openly shown support for each other’s channels (Hell, when people were giving Jeremy grief for disliking Dunkirk, Chris was one of the first to defend him). If they’re not friends, they clearly respect each other as critics. So stop being such parasocial weirdos and just soak in your desperation for your political feelings to feel validated elsewhere.
@@minkstar9021 jeez, I was just trying to pay a compliment... If my body looked like that at 62!? I would be kinda weirded out having tits and a vag, but probably still content...
Watched it last night and my God this was PHENOMENAL!! The CAMERA WORK, Cinematography, the crisp sound design, and the stellar acting!! This is hands down my favorite movie of 2024. Straight 10/10! And I do NOT give movies a perfect score a lot at all. Was already sold on the idea and it being something new and fresh and was NOT DISAPPOINTED
I am excited to see it after hearing the same director/writer of Revenge is behind this film because that movie was beautiful and stylistic. I thought strange darling was shot stylistically beautiful and unique too.
@@anitaknight3915 Girl, for REAL! 😆 Especially because even though I’ve grown up watching horror, gore has never been my fave. 🥴 I might be getting queasy even WITH fasting! 🤣

I can't believe what I just saw! Demi Moore is awesome for going the distance with the prosthetics and pushing it to the limits.
Demi Moore was perfectly cast for this movie. In a way it's a reflection of her. A very talented very beautiful actress having to deal with getting older and the way Hollywood and society as a whole view ageing actresses. It's true. Once an actress reaches a certain age, film roles dry up. They can't find work and they are constantly compared to much younger modern actresses. It's a film about how society views and treats ageing actresses and the effects of that.
Just saw it last night, and I gotta say, it’s my favorite movie of the year. Perfect balance of heavy themes and grotesque, jaw dropping entertainment. I won’t spoil anything, but Chris was right, my stomach turned and I was repulsed in the best way possible. Amazing film on all levels, check it out if you like horror and can stomach body horror.
I love the premise and cast involved but I really dislike body horror so I'm out. I am happy movies like this being are still getting made and offering something different though. It's just not for me.
I’m in my own horror movie, it’s called… menopause! I have all the symptoms and then some that you wouldn’t think had anything to do with menopause. It is a nightmare!
I got to see the early screening at my AMC and holy fuck it’s SO good.. definitely one of my top five of the year and Moore definitely deserves a best actress nomination. My screening had a elderly lady who had to walk out during the third act xD
Saw this by myself this afternoon. I love private showings. I’m amazed I got thru this movie! I usually don’t watch horror movies. But I sat thru the whole thing while eating a donut and a protein bar. My stomach was just fine. This 67 year old Black woman loved it! Can’t wait to recommend this .
Your development from someone who gave a snarky comment about Sharon Stone's character and her fear of aging out of relevance in Catwoman and the sheer lack of empathy you showed to this is very interesting and good to watch. Yes, women are treated like shit for aging. More and more people need to acknowledge that that women are objectified to a degree that their entire worth is weighed by their youth, and the fact that men aren't held to the same standard is why the world is so horrifyingly misogynistic. So the body horror makes sense in this context.
Funny enough, I watched this yesterday at the Star Cinema Grill while enjoying a big juicy burger and fries haha! I don’t get grossed out easy so it was cool, but man was it gross haha. LOVED IT.
My brother, dad & I are taking my mother to a dine in theatre for her 60th birthday to see this tomorrow night. 3/4 of us love Cronenberg/body horror. The 1, my mother loves horror, the trailer immediately made her go “I need to see this!” …however she’s not a huge Cronenberg/body horror fan. This is gonna go over great 😂
Some of the shots reminded me of Requiem For A Dream, a great movie with a sometimes difficult to watch ending (especially when you have to watch it over and over for a Psychology paper). This looks like a really interesting body horror film and I'm going to try to catch it this weekend.
I saw it this afternoon and i had the same physical reaction; i have not eaten the snacks i brought. To be honest, i was surprised that not more people walked out. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
I was stuck in stand-still traffic on my way to the theater so I didn’t have any time to get snacks and by the end of the film I was so thankful for that lol
Easily one of the best films of the year (in the genre). I just wonder how much never wanting to watch a film ever again affects people’s feelings on the experience. 😂
The Trailer gave me that vibe of those movies that came out a few years back where the "Repo Men" have to repossess the organs of people fell behind on payments. Don't know why, body horror genre I guess?
I saw it last night and I think Demi should get the Oscar; however, I think she'll get screwed out of a nomination, like Jeff Goldblum did for "The Fly." The fact he didn't get a nod still rankles me to this day.
I liked it. Towards the end i admit i was like "c'mon, lets wrap this up." But I cant give it any less than an 8/10 just because of how memorable of a theater experience it made for.
This is a surprisingly intriguing movie. Dispite the deformity of the character, one can also feel sympathy for these characters. It actually keeps you riveted to the screen. There is so much to be taken from this movie about body dysmorphia as we age.
It mixes Verhoeven satire and full frontal nudity with Cronenberg's body horror. I'm surprised this got away with an R rating considering the amount of nudity onscreen and the subject matter. Top 3 adult thrillers of the year so far. In no order: Red Rooms, Strange Darling, and The Substance.
I just finished this movie 10 minutes ago and I didn't realize how much I missed Cronenberg's body horror cinema. I think Chris is ABSOLUTELY correct in everything about this film and, in fact, I'd recommend anyone go watch this film first and then come back here because the less you know about what happens, the better the movie hits you.
its so so good, like Sick of Myself meets Requiem for a Dream meets The Fly, with a dash of like, Society. Demi Moore actually shocked me, I didnt think she could go to the places she went in this.
I noticed the dissonance at the end as well. The theater was laughing including me but I was also noticing how she became a joke when she was ugly which the movie is condemning
I just saw it was very interesting and I loved it Demi’s acting is insane along with Margaret Qualley’s acting absolutely fantastic movie. It made me feel sick a couple of times.
I'm a big "style IS substance" guy. And I'm also not one to call "obvious" themes and symbolism bad just for being obvious. But The Substance??? While The Substance is one of my favorite LOOKING films of the year, I found its hilariously trite...treading ground so well-worn it feels...wait for it...pretentious as fuck. "Guys, what if aging was SCARY!" That is quite literally all this film amounts to, imo. It's so aggressively "GET THE POINT!?!" about its story and theme that it ends up quickly feeling like a self-impressed lecture. Same reaction I had with Longlegs...incredible well made film with nothing to say - just very impressed with itself. "Guys, weird people into satanism are SCARY!" The Substance is a formal showcase, no doubt. But it's a showroom with nothing much in it. Some of the more acclaimed horror films this year have disappointed me greatly. As far as a horror/thriller meditating on aging...OLD is WAY more nuanced and thoughtful.
Had the Pleasure of Attending the TIFF Premiere it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a director utilize practical effects body horror to this degree can’t wait to see it again!
The fucking shrimp…🤢 It perfectly captured the experience I love about going to the movie - the feeling of being in a crowd that's all in on something absurd and visceral. There's a certain thrill in knowing you're not alone in needing to talk about it afterward, sharing that intensely euphoric experience with others who saw it too. Movie of the year.
This movie tops The Fly remake from the 80s for me. Right now this my favorite horror movie from 2024. amazing script, beautiful acting, and cinematography.
Wow! Just saw this film and Holy sh**! This leaned in hard on the body horror and it was done well. Not as enthusiastic as Stuckmann but he is spot on. Every frame told a story and was beautiful which made it that much more disturbing.
I was watching Lexx one time and had to put down my large kebab with extra chilli sauce. I thought "Let's see what's on the other channel" and I can tell you I was overjoyed to see it was The Human Centipede 3.
just watched it and first off both Demi and Margaret look amazing and did a great job. The movie was a long descent into insanity and is filled with life lessons and hidden meanings and the ending was insane.
Your movie reviews are possibly my favourite. Mostly because I feel if it's worth a review from you it must be special in some way and usually I give those movies a try. But also I LOVE how passionate you clearly are and how you emphasize what you really love about a movie. Definitely gonna give this a try!
Haven’t watched the review yet but I really hope it’s good. I’m looking forward to seeing it next week. The concept is really intriguing and I like dark themes.
If there is going to be a woman hoping to look younger and prettier and thinner why use Demi moore? She already looks great already. I wish I looked like her!
Simple. Demi Moore has been scrutinized for DECADES over her looks and what she may or may not have done. She was the highest paid actress in the 90s and was slammed for that. Also, read her autobiography and you'll see why she was perfect for this role.
The more beautiful you are, the more scrutiny you have on every single details coz they pop out more and seems huge by comparison to the rest. Dismorphobia is real shit.
As someone who has a gf who deals with beauty standards and being so focused on vanity and scared of aging; would this movie be good or bad for her? Would it help open her eyes or would it make her mind even worse with those thoughts?
been watching the channel for a few years now, and hearing you say something is scary or nauseating, in a good way, REALLY piques me, knowing how you are with scary movies. 😁
A body horror movie being described as impossible to watch while eating is a compliment of the highest order
"This is not an eating movie" this line is enough for me to get excited
I ate three different snacks 😅
I take this as a dare to be honest
I get dread 😂 I want to watch it but I don’t have a strong stomach
Considering Demi’s relationship with her own aging process, it’s actually really cool that she starred in this movie. I bet it was real cathartic for her. I hope she does more interesting movies like this because she’s a good actor.
actress no?

Thanks. I hate it. Haha

The grossest part of this movie was when she got Stuckmannized in the third act, I threw up my burger on the spot
Nothing prepared me for that scene bro 😭 I'm SO GLAD I decided to not get snacks this one time
What’s wrong with getting Stuckmannized?
@@thefirstbourne149 You’ll grow a beard and have tattoos like a millennial. Nothing wrong with that though

Your movie reviews are possibly my favourite. Mostly because I feel if it's worth a review from you it must be special in some way and usually I give those movies a try. But also I LOVE how passionate you clearly are and how you emphasize what you really love about a movie. Definitely gonna give this a try!
I really enjoyed your review, Chris. Subscribed and looking forward to the movie too. 👍
Incredible film. Seen it twice now, both times equally as mesmerised.
When the EFF is your Review for TERMINATOR ZERO gonna drop, huh Stucky?!?!????
Texas chainsaw actually makes me hungry for barbecue.
Dennis Quaid? I am glad to see he is still acting.
Haven’t watched the review yet but I really hope it’s good. I’m looking forward to seeing it next week. The concept is really intriguing and I like dark themes.
The last ten minutes of When Evil Lurks got me. I had to get up and leave the room.
Looking forward for this one
If there is going to be a woman hoping to look younger and prettier and thinner why use Demi moore? She already looks great already. I wish I looked like her!
Simple. Demi Moore has been scrutinized for DECADES over her looks and what she may or may not have done. She was the highest paid actress in the 90s and was slammed for that. Also, read her autobiography and you'll see why she was perfect for this role.
The more beautiful you are, the more scrutiny you have on every single details coz they pop out more and seems huge by comparison to the rest. Dismorphobia is real shit.
I work in a hospital laboratory and I eat while watching Bizarre Foods, I think I can handle it.
This movies was on my radar for a while, can't wait to watch it now
Watching this tomorrow looking forward to it
This movie had me audibly cringing. I havent had that in years oh my god it was fucking fantastic
As someone who has a gf who deals with beauty standards and being so focused on vanity and scared of aging; would this movie be good or bad for her? Would it help open her eyes or would it make her mind even worse with those thoughts?
@@TheProphegy no no no lol. Do not have her watch this until you watch it if she's sensitive
been watching the channel for a few years now, and hearing you say something is scary or nauseating, in a good way, REALLY piques me, knowing how you are with scary movies. 😁
