One of best horror films I've seen in decades. Excellent writing, direction, producing, and work of every talent to bring this movie to a crescendo. Bravo!
This movie blew my mind. The trailer made me think she would inject the substance and she would just turn young. I had no idea a younger version of her would literally rip out of her body. 😨
What doesn't make sense for me is Elisabeth wants to be a better version of herself, but that's not the case. A totally different person emerges and wants her own identity and life. Of course things will end up the way it did. 😮
@@erikadlloyd5586The younger version is still Elizabeth. It’s mentioned multiple times “you are one”. Sue represents the hatred Elizabeth already had for herself. Elizabeth and sue are the same person, the same mind. At then end, Elizabeth’s desired for beauty and fear of rejection leads her to her own destruction.
@@erikadlloyd5586i think its a soul transfer but a negative side effect of the substance combined with her self loathing and desire to be a better version made her believe that elisabeth and sue are 2 different people
I was legit horrified when the body horror moments kicking in. I don’t know whether to marvel at its bold message about beauty standards or be horrified at the links this woman was willing to go through even damaging her own body
Having been a former LA woman, I can attest to the grotesque pursuit of youth. Terrific review I am looking forward to this female directors, brilliant take on the Hollywood pursuit of youth and perfectness. Which is an illusion.🎉 Thanks 1 million for a terrific review. Yes I shall go to there.
The best horror flick to come out since Hereditary. Reminded me of a mix between Basketcase, The Fly, and Evil Dead. An instant horror classic. Also, she doesnt sleep her way up to the top. Everyone is mesmerized with her right from the get go.
Still curious if additional Substance movies could happen, each being a case study of how it goes wrong for a new person and shedding more light on the corporation that makes it
like that nurse who originally led Elizabeth into it. He seemed to have buyer's remorse eventually, even though presumably he had a job that wasn't as shallow and self-centered as Elizabeth's Hollywood career. Also, logistically HTH can one justify being totally absent every other week, unless maybe they have an freelance/online business?
Alright more insight into the secrets of the show. Great actors in the movie too. Demi moore gives a good performance of what i think Hollywood stars are like today. Ever trying to look young not realizing that age adds to a person's personality. To bad...{q}
THIS BODY HORROR MOVIE MASTERPIECE STARRING DEMI MOORE & DENNIS QUAID WASN'T JUST INSPIRED BY THE SOUTH KOREAN ANIMATED HORROR FILM "BEAUTY WATER", BUT IT PAYS HOMAGE TO THE CLASSIC BODY HORROR FILMS. 💉☠️🎞️🎬🎥
I thought BOTH ladies did phenomenal in their roles. The music, the intense build up of the mysterious drug was exciting in beginning part. Even the "birth" of Sue was cool But after Sue murders Elisabeth it fell very short and corney to me. People in my theater starting leaving at that point. I also didn't feel like the movie gave enough of E and Sue being as 1. From the getgo they felt like completely different people. It would have better to somehow have them more emotionally connected rather then what I felt they were instantly annoyed at eachothers existence. Apart from a chicken drumstick they seem disconnected and made the movie not that great. Especially the ending 🤷♀️
I get everything about 'The Substance' except for how it splits the user into two separate people. This defeats the purpose in my opinion. Demi Moore's character does not solve her problem by taking the substance. She is still old, thrown away, reduced to lying unconscious on the floor while the young woman she made gets to run around enjoying the fame and fortune she wanted to recapture. How does this make Demi's character happy? The only person who benefits is the young "clone." A better concept would have been the substance making Demi's character young again. Hollywood has de-aging technology, and this film would have been a good place to utilize it.
the young woman IS her though, no? it is her mind, just in a younger body which festers her greed and desire to remain that way. i thought that was the whole point but i might be wrong
i think it was a clever way to subvert our expectations and create a super unique take on an internal battle with yourself. they showed that struggle to us literally as two different entities, and that's what makes this movie so raw and fresh in my mind.
@@atlas8912 That's what I thought. They have a shared consciousness. Elizabeth was to live vicariously through her doppleganger, but couldn't stand the weeks when she is just her original self.
You got the wrong idea. It was Elizabeth just switching bodies. But she got greedy and started taking time away from her original body, which made it deteriorate. Hope that helped.
@@fam1st745 Everyone who reviews this movie says the substance creates a younger clone of the user. They have to take turns sleeping while the other is awake. Why would you care what happens to your old body if being young again was your motivation? Elizabeth is not Sue. Sue is her own person made from Elizabeth's body. If Sue was Elizabeth Demi Moore would have played both parts, using de-age tech.
Main character is empty shell. All we know about her is that she wants to be young. No sister no husband no dogs no cats, only a house keeper that she doesn't talk to. Nothing bothers her and as a result - nothing stops her from ruining herself.
No family of any sort; no validation except from the fickle masses and a-hole Hollywood producers. Very sad subthread where she runs into her high-school homeroom classmate, has a spark of hope that he's so honestly in awe of her, but then rejects him because she wants continued approval of said fickle masses. It would've been worth a chance to see if she could respond to a humble, honest potential connection.
An important point about this movie is that women are not "allowed" to age but men are. Our society treats women like bodies to look at and this pressure keeps us obsessed with looking young. I see this as form of violence against women. This movie should perfectly how it is a woman's greatest horror in this messed up world to get old.
I struggled to draw anything ‘substantial’ from The Substance. I left the viewing feeling like I'd just watched an elaborately produced bikini commercial. The film doesn't say anything particularly interesting about desire, beauty, age or femininity. It’s just a sexy bloodbath. I really detest films which shove lots of flesh down your throat, and then pretend to have some grand pretext for debauching your imagination. Like Lars Von Try-Hard: "This isn't porn - this is high art for a sophisticated audience." If you think otherwise, "you just don't understand women and how they need to be exploded on the screen for our amusement". That's so intellectual isn't it? 'The Substance' is a very close cousin of the 'X/Maxxxine' and Yorgos Lanthimos movies, which combine absolutely irrational scenarios, with a script that has been lifted from an 'Archie' comic. The fact that some of this film's most ardent critics are intelligent women, of all backgrounds, really says something too. It should make us think, rather than 'bandwagon'. If you look at Rodin's famous sculpture of the aging beauty, it says infinitely more about women and ageing, than this cheap sex-ploitation film. People talk about the music and the color saturation of this film - so what! Go to your local disco, if you want that. The West used to see the woman's body as something sacred, not a vehicle for exploitation and desecration, because of its capacity for natural and supernatural virtue. Look at Bernini's works, for example. Since 'Last Tango', filmmakers have taken to desecrating the woman's body, under the most insane pretexts...and everyone's lapping it up. I sat with my children and watched 'The Birds' recently, and the Tippi Hedren character is just gorgeous, in every way, without being seductive or debauched. She’s allowed to keep her clothes on, too. Is it really so hard to give females a decent role now? Maybe cinema is just full of dirty old perverts, who can’t rise above their carnal appetites? Maybe they assume their audience are all covert voyeurs, like themselves? Demi Moore was great in ‘One Crazy Summer’, because the director (Steve Holland) had her there for an intelligent purpose, other than cheap titillation and the farming of pubescent $exual desire (and he was a ‘patriarchal white male’ too, Miss Foraget). The majority of reviewers are mistaking this film for a piece of esoteric profundity, which only the 'enlightened' can appreciate. It's morally impossible for Hollywood to finance a film, which would decimate secular beauty standards, as immodesty $ells and gets back$ides on $eats. Its the foundation of their revenue. This is evident in the Q & A Conference for the film (or should I call it a T & A Conference)?: the director is wearing leather boots up to her pelvis, and the younger actress is wearing something resembling a skirt, which barely covers her posterior. This is really empowering for young girls too see - NOT. I’m absolutely certain that this film was produced to generate oodles of cash quickly, by promising lots of sensual satisfaction and bodily cruelty (a ruse shared by David Cronenberg). The men leaving the cinema will naturally be having adulterous thoughts about Marg, and the women will be be thinking about how they can look like Marg and Demi. This piece of polished trash will become a favorite at Stag parties, to be sure - not Women's Conferences. The film will contribute to the commodification of the woman's body, both legal and illegal. I can't be far off the scent, either - look at these professional reviews: “But for all its feminist diatribes, The Substance is still a movie that is 80 percent extreme close-ups of Margaret Qualley’s arse. In nearly every other scene, the camera lovingly pans over her spandex-clad exterior, in sequences that are shot like ‘90s Viagra commercials” (Inverse.com). "The Substance’s presentation is as shallow as the very thing it’s critiquing. There’s no compassion, and certainly no catharsis - just more hagsploitation and a sense of déjà vu." (Hannah Strong) "An overuse of stale horror conventions in an already predictable plot-combined with decades-old, thoroughly unchallenging ideas about women’s relationships to their bodies-leads to a film that claims to support its protagonist, while treating her like the butt of the joke at every turn...I will not deny that Margaret Qualley is great to look at, but Fargeat undermines her film’s satirical point by catering to the same male gaze that the script claims to despise so deeply. Fargeat isn’t quite sure what she wants to say about women’s relationships to their body and images of their body, so she falls back on simply showing us that Margaret Qualley is hot.” (Paste Magazine)
I don't think the final scene is blood on Elisabeth's star. Remember the beginning of the film when the guy spills his hamburger and he smears all the ketchup on the star? It's the ketchup. And maybe the whole thing was Elisabeth's nightmare.
I just saw it last night! Margaret's acting really shined towards the second half. The beginning for her felt was more focused on what she meant in contrast to Demi's (Elisabeth's) character but as the movie intensified, there were pretty amazing scenes for her as she almost had her own personality. Demi was INCREDIBLE though!
I thought it was to long, it would have been much better without the comedy aspect and the end is ridiculous and really takes away much of the impact almost as if the writer is saying hey dont take any of this stuff seriously and sorry about killing the old lady like that infact shes really not dead yet see shes on the back now and shes young again at least her face is.
This is a movie I hated and loved, best horror flick of all time for me. Very creative, great music score & beautiful cinematography. Those two irises during the birthing scene freak me out 8:25 and Sue's hybrid design is as grotuest as it is creative. And the acting is too notch. A stunning insight into Hollywood's perversion with youth and beauty and how men are the arbiters and the women victimize themselves to fit in. Madonna should watch this. And Sue comically has a better front kick than even Captain America lmfao
Did she have super-strength or something? That kick came out of the left field. Otherwise great movie! But I can't stomach a rewatch for a long time even though I liked it.
Hhahahaha. She’s an American actress who is very well known for MANY MANY roles. She was also married to Bruce Willis & Ashton Kutcher. She was in some great films in the 90s. She is 61 now and still looks amazing. If interested check out Strip Tease to see her at her peak
Demi Moore wants to be younger and hotter and turns into Margaret Qually? She may be younger and pretty but in what world is Qually sexier then Demi Moore? Even at 60, Moore is hotter.
Haha that was my nitpick too! I still think Demi at 61 is prettier than Margaret 😂😅 Demi is literally a goddess, but Margaret was still amazing and she does pull of the "younger version"
10:00 I wish they had an 100% shared consciousness. It seems more like having a younger twin more than anything else. The egg duplication scene at the beginning of the movie seems to imply a mostly separate entity.
Kong has stronger arms than godzilla. Kongs arms are so strong they beat kongs arms with a hammer everyday until the arms bleed than cut kongs arms with a knife open and let it bleed out for days.
As a horror freak I didn't like this movie. It just doesn't do anything for me, but I expect it will go under the heading of 'cult classic at some point'.
Great to be narcissistic where self delusional self worth is only as valuable as what your audience/ the price,cost that those enjoying your body get to pay😅Beauty is in eye of the beholder(& the cosmetic surgeons 😅
This movie is an absolute body horror masterpiece. Can’t thank you enough for this video on this drug.

Excellent movie. Demi Moore is now 61 y/o. I'm 64. Give me a substance to have that body. she looks amazing, and is so good in the movie
nah dude you know how itll end if you take it
She does look great. I agree!

Loved this movie! As a woman of a certain age, it resonated so profoundly.
This movie was great ! The ending was awesome ! Just kept on getting more weird , gory and crazy !
I love how you did this whole segment using a trailer from the movie and not the movie.
Honestly I don’t want a sequel i think the substance as a stand alone film does enough of an impact already
They better not make a sequel. Some movies were meant to be a one off. This is one of them.

Still curious if additional Substance movies could happen, each being a case study of how it goes wrong for a new person and shedding more light on the corporation that makes it
Could have different effects on different people.. or different strains. They probably will never follow up tho
Not necessary. It would dilute this film's impact.

Its a masterpiece
