Thank you for reacting to ELISAMONSTROSUEE!!! excited to see Horror Bandwagon and Zzavid react to this!!
the fact that everything happens in the bathroom, being the place where you expose yourself the most and hiding the bodies there as if it were something shameful, is an incredible metaphor.
Oh my God. This movie is too relatable. It’s scary.
Yes! The metaphors in this movie are genius, it's all so layered & beautiful. I'm obsessed on so many levels 😍
TEA.
YES, and the lighting in there is so harsh and unforgiving. It reminds me of the lighting at some clothes stores where you HATE how you look in the dressing room, and have to remind yourself that it’s the bad overhead lighting.
And how she disrespected her own bodies 🫣 self hatred analogy.
i think my favorite part is that Elisasue loved herself. Elisasue had the confidence that neither Elisabeth or Sue had. Elisasue put that dress on even though it didn't fit, put the earrings on even though she didn't have a place for them, burnt her hair and just shrugged it off.
The monster that everyone was afraid of was a woman without self-hatred, who felt beautiful with all her flaws.
And sadly, a woman who has almost no place in conventional society.
her going "i'm still me!" was so SO sad. made me think so much of frankenstein's monster and the line "did I solicit thee from darkness to promote me?"
It now makes sense that blood attack is her symbolic rejection of all the vices of mass media that made her into the "monster".
I like to also theorize that her "death" marks her ultimate retirement from mass media without ever looking back at her 'legacy', disregarding what happens to that. Shes now in a separate existence, doing what truly loved with a beginning she now knows she wants.
best way to describe elisasues character, that's what the director intended!!
She didn't change. She was still obsessed with her self image and still seeking the validation of the audience
monstro elisasue's decision to wear ELIZABETH's face instead of SUE. lets wake that tea up
to me, that kinda hit home that Elizabeth saw Sue as "the other one"
She never really saw them as one huh
Which is strange, since it's Margaret who's in the suit.
RIGHTTT??? Like she finally realized how beautiful she was in the first place sans the substance
In the end she preferred her original face over sue face
But wasn't that because there wasn't a poster of Sue as handy?
I can't wait for the Academy Awards to completely ignore this unforgettable film over some Oscar-bait dramas almost nobody watched, cares about, or even remembers by next year 🤩
100% and this movie feels like a classic.
We saw an early screening a few weeks ago and there were a lot of queer people in the cinema, which was so much more fun 😂
Aka Wicked 💀
@@oOoOBoogeymanOoOo Makes sense. Horror as a genre is hella queer but at the same time is something everybody and their mama can enjoy.
Also, I found most horror directed by women (such as this one) do have a special spot among queer folks.
@@StevieMcKenna10 Jesus, every single thing about that movie that I've seen looks like something made by AI. Be it posters, trailers or just promotional pictures. Don't know if it's an artistic choice but it all looks plastic, and not in a positive, Barbie way either 💀
@@SamMarquez-y9l The actress for Elfaba literally made a whole tweet about "erasing her" all because someone made the poster look like the ones from the stage play like miss girl...
I think it’s vitally important to understand that Sue is not the antagonist. She does not destroy Elisabeth. She *is* Elisabeth. Her behavior- we can infer- reflects how Elisabeth behaved in her original youth. Her treatment of Elisabeth’s body reflects how Elisabeth feels about her own aging self. They have the same sad and shallow but deeply understandable values. The movie keeps telling us that Elisabeth and Sue are one because viewers who don’t understand that they are one will miss the point of the movie: *Elisabeth destroys herself* because she hates herself. And she hates herself because the standards she is held to as a star and as a woman are literally impossible to meet for more than a fraction of her life, if at all.
"i can't do spine stuff" so early in the movie had me cackling i'm so sorry in advance sweetie
"You. Are. One. You can't escape from yourself."
I think people forget to read into this line and mistakenly separate Sue from Elizabeth.
The "You are one" thing kinda got ruined when both bodies became conscious; but I guess that's the metaphor of her self-hatred
@rinzzzzie718 yeah. i think even though they were 'separated' at some point and had individual consciousness, the decisions one of them made would also be the same the other would do if given the same circumstance, because they're from the same mind or persona. If that makes sense.
"What? You've never seen a woman at the height of her career?!" 😭💀
This took me out 😭
obsessed at them pretending like there is nothing wrong with elisabeth at the end, it's so funny. "I think they're just jealous of her beauty"
It was Margaret Qualley under the Elisasue makeup. She said even though it took 6hrs to put on the prosthetics, she said it was a nice break from playing Sue who was so soulless. 😅
She called Fred because he told her how beautiful she was without being young, in her own body but then felt too old and ugly (from her hand) to see him in person.
it's the saddest scene for me, she didn't go on a date because she hates her self. if only she had curtains to cover the windows maybe she would still go😅
Another things that i hate in my country Film censorship board decide to blur the nudity scenes, that's just dumb knowing is also important part of the story but it's dumber that they censored the tits but in the end they not censored the boobs that come out from the monster
@@afaridpirmansyah7867 that's actually pretty ironic and makes the point of that scene
Justice for Fred
I'm obsessed with the fact that you immediately marked Elisabeth as an icon, because I feel like the mainstream sidelines women who start to age, while the queer community remains loyal. Cher, Madonna, Mariah, all of them women "past their prime" (which is just a ridiculous concept to me) are all still icons to queer folks. There's a degree of loyalty and respect there.
Yes there is!!!!! They're icons for a reason.....they don't ever fade
Sue isn't the bad guy, and they are actually one consciousness btw. The ones at fault are the men who perpetuate the ageism and beauty standards that drove Elisasue to that intense insecurity and self hatred in the first place.
some people doesn't really get it that they are "one", like the movie told us everytime about the "You are one" but it's understandable that alot of people doesn't really get it, the movie is alottt but I love it!
Honestly, its very interesting to see how different men interpret the film. Especially the mirror/makeup scene with Demi, some reactors just can't relate at all. And yeah..seeing sue as the bad guy. hmm. I'm glad we got this reaction though.
Well Sue is the "bad guy" in that she is the personification of all of the toxic priorities we place on ourselves and in our lives. And these often do cause us to do the things she does, like heavily prioritizing self over others. I am curious what the film is trying to say about Elizabeth effectively choosing the same life path the 2nd time around.
it's hardly just "the men" who perpetuate this system of ageism and beauty standards. Women themselves are perfectly content to judge each other according to unrealistic standards, which I thought the film presented very well. Elizabeth was never happy with herself until she was Sue, similarly Sue looked down on Elizabeth. Audiences, TV viewers all are guilty of perpetuating these toxic habits, hence the ending of the film where Elizasue blasts them all with blood 'they all have blood on their hands'.
Neither gender is innocent.
@@daviddyck3724 Sadly this is where I think the movie suffers from a narrative perspective. Its visual storytelling and its symbolic storytelling seem to be at odds in many situations. As much as I agree with your assessment and I do think that this is what the movie is trying to tell us, on the other hand it basically only shows men doing this for 99% of the movie.
If Demi Moore doesn't get at least a golden globe nomination for this movie in January I'll be livid
Wes's face everytime Dennis Quaid is on-screen makes me LOL!!
right🤣
Why do they hate him?
@@ziann7171 because he endorses Trump
@@ziann7171 he’s Donald Trump’s #1 fan on Twitter and has been posting all sorts of racist shit on his socials
@@IVNHYPRFNK That seems like an over reaction. Yikes, judgemental.
this is one of the best movie concepts perhaps i’ve ever seen? GIVE DEMI AND MARGARET THEIR OSCARS!
yessss😍 since i saw the trailer I was and still here for it
yesss and none for d*nnis 😊
It's in my top 5 all time. Fing fantastic.
I agree 1000000%!
It had it’s funny moments but genuinely felt a sadness for Elisabeth at the end. I agree that this deserves so many award nominations especially an Oscar but knowing the academy they probably won’t and it enrages me to know it’ll get overlooked.
I feel so sad for the actors, writers, set artists and the director and everyone who made this art happen.
It's so beautiful in so many ways you could imagine
It says a lot that Elisabeth doesn’t seem to have anyone in her life that TRULY loves her… not envies her, not admires her, but just loves and cares about her wellbeing (no one even asks how she’s doing). We hear her speak so little, because that’s not what the people want. She’s gotten so used to being just a pretty face to the point that she can’t handle any other reality. I think this movie is a great message for younger people in denial about getting older, and looking older… it’s gonna happen, honey. Prepare for that inevitability while you’re young so it doesn’t hit you like a ton of bricks
You would think at least one person would notice she went missing for 3 months, but we don’t see one person come and check on her.
@@Moretropes11 right?! She doesn’t have a single person on her side
with this movie in the theater I cried, I screamed, I laughed, I felt every possible feeling and I left the theater wanting to see the movie again.
"That foundation is not his color." 🤣🤣🎃
Around the end, my twisted mind thought of the end of “Death Becomes Her”. “Do you remember where you parked the car?”
Not her curling the one strand of hair 😂 that killed me. Also this movie was amazing and so insane in the best way
Elisabeth wanted so badly to be younger and Sue wanted to stay young cause she couldn’t stand seeing the way Elisabeth chose to live during her 7 days. As different as they seemed, they both wanted the same thing. Elisabeth resented herself and Sue felt the same.
The old guy who gave her the usb didn't warn her because he was his young self. Just like Sue acts completely different from Elizabeth, the same happens with the old guy. You can think of it like when you have motivation to start eating heathy,no more sugar etc, but the very next day,once the cravings hit, it's very hard to oppose and remember why you were against sugar in the furst place. It feels like you are two different people - a very shallow example ,but it might resonate with more people.
Also,the motorcycle guy was rude in the morning because he saw Elizabeth - an old hag blocking his way - he was nice to Sue because she was pretty and he was about to get laid
Ohh I never thought about that, I was like "that old man is an ass" but nope, the younger versions are the asses.
As a twenty-something , ever since i saw this movie , i have made it my absolute mission to hype women over 50 everytime i see the opportunity 💗😭✨️
Saw this film at the SCAD Film Festival last night. Margaret AND Demi were both there at the screening!! They both did a FANTASTIC job in this horror film, and I fear I need more like it in the future!
right ever since i saw the trailer I was and still here for it😍
For those who remembered Death becomes her and love both those movies with passion😊❤ made my day to see this pop up Pumking season all the way!!❤ Forgot to mention "has she started
eating away at you?" Perfect representation of body dysmporphia, depression, anxiety and other mental health issues.
The scene in the bathroom where she gets more and more insecure everytime she looks at herself in the mirror until she just give up and stay home hits waaay too hard
With all of the instructions they gave, I would have still fucked up The Substance.
And body horror is a challenge for me too, but this film being an absurd take on beauty standards and self hatred.
I saw this movie probably a week ago at this point and despite this being a body horror the only thing that disgusted me was the sight of Dennis Quiad eating seafood in this movie
This! If I weren't already a vegetarian, that would have been my tipping point. 🤢
Oh my fucking GOD I’m so happy you watched this, I’m so hype
I am pretty sure they would eat normally. The goop pouches were the food to keep them alive while the body wasn't used. The active party was living normally, food,water,sleep etc.Sue was mad and affected by food because she was obsessed with her imagine and accomplishments. Elizabeth was binge eating and slouching around the entire week.
6:20 Not Wes singing “fly in wine” to Katy Perry instead of “it’s a… black fly, in your Chardonnay…..” ahaha
Alanis stan!
@@GareBare90 hahahaha
this movie deserves every possible award that exists
The irony is that women in Hollywood in the real world would be paying ridiculous amounts of money just to do the crazy stuff and surgeries just to do what Demi’s character is doing just to look younger and beautiful, Madonna and the Kardashian ladies would definitely be that example
Demi herself too, hats off to her for doing this movie and she’s been honest about her work done
Guys… I feel like you didn’t understand, they are one, theres no Sue and Elizabeth, they are the same mind in different bodies, the thing is, when she is in Sue’s life she wants to be that version forever, she starts to hate her other version, older, forgotten by society, undesired, but at the end, THEY ARE ONE
We definitely understood that lol. The movie told us 10000 times “you are one” so that was not lost on us ❤️
My thing is though, why is the eye colour different? Anyone help me out here 😂
@@NikkieTwix she’s just a better younger version of Elizabeth, not her younger self like in the past
3:14 That was my exact reaction on the theater, Demi really devoured the choreography 😆🔥
There are actually a ton of body horror movies like this, it's a real sub genre of horror, but never has someone like Demi starred and had it be such an upfront critique of the industry. I really hope they reward her for doing this movie.
This was my introduction to you both and I don’t think it could’ve been any better lol! Loved the movie and your reaction! I saw this in the theaters and everyone applauded when it was over.
Welcome, this community is amazing
@@deadsetondreams1988thank you!! 😊
54:48 - Monstro ElisaSue serving some major "Do you remember where you parked the car?" realness.
"I'm at a loss for words...truly" describes the entire experience of watching this movie 😂
The part that made me sad was when Elisabeth was trying to go out and enjoy some company, but she kept comparing herself to Sue to the point she was so insecure she bailed. That was triggering.
Idky this movie made me cry like a baby lmaooo for some reason it was giving ungrateful-daughter jealous-mother relationship vibes
Mother Demi was serving in this🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽…kudos to the stylist, MUA, prosthetics , set designer, lighting director. Side bar: Ms Sue please apply a little neosporin to your main body Sis😷…perhaps prop her up in some Imported Egyptian Cotton sheets…something😦
That's Margaret Qualley under all that Monstro Elisasue makeup. There's some video and photos floating around the interwebs that have her goofing off in the makeup on set.
As somebody with back pain this movie was terrifying. Now I gotta think about my back splitting open lol
This movie is EVERYTHING. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do but it’s one of my favorites of the year.
That is the best way to describe this movie. It literally hypnotizes you.
There is something very funny about the completely inexplicable hatred of Dennis Quaid that is apparently so embedded in lore that you “won’t be mentioning it any further” lmfao
This is my first time on this channel. You're a riot! I could watch movies with you guys all day!
Demi Moore deserves an Oscar nomination!
"Mama, A girl inside you."
You have me cackling in the middle of the night 💀😭
To the guy in red already stressed from the early scenes of the movie, I just kept thinking: Honey, you got a big storm coming
The whole not talking thing was a clear choice.
53:12 "I think they are just jealous of her beauty. They can never be this multidimensional" 😂😂😂
The ending deserved much better than a gore fever dream. The last 20 minutes were very off, I expected an explanation to the experiment, some twist about Harvey knowing about it, doctors taking both bodies for more experiments and so forth, but the rest of the movie is just mesmerisingly eye-opening. It literally made me love myself during so many scenes 🤣
*whispers* “you dont want her to open the door” had me SCREAMING!! you gotta new subscriber in me!!
"They cannot be multidimensional like her" I cackled
This movie is crazy
'This is not my Gary' 😆
This movie was already traumatizing the hell out of me. But those last 20-30 minutes scarred and horrified me to my core. But it solidified this film as being the most insane, disgusting, and most fu*ked up movie of this year. Easily number 2
This movie is definitely my favorite of the year as well! I’m actually glad I didn’t know anything about the body horror beforehand, because I would’ve skipped it for sure!
I love this for Demi. Perfectly aligned role for her!
“I can’t be doing spine stuff in this movie”
Me: you’re in for a TREAT 😃😃😃
“I can’t be doing spin shit” 😂😂 oh no
That orange/red hallway and bathroom were definitely giving The Shining!!!! I just watched your reaction of The Shining today ❤❤❤❤
'Cheese pizza' killed me 😂
reference that i got was, Stanley Kubrick, Shinning (the hallway) + blood, 2001 (music), Steven King - Carrie with the blood in the teatern, the movie Fly with Jeff Goldblom
This is exactly who I wanted to watch this movie with ❤
“but in the meantime, take care of yourself” 🫦
Both Elizabeth and Sue were the result of Greed. Elizabeth creates Sue out of Greed because she can't handle the reality that her time is over and someone has to take her place.
Can't blame Sue completely here she also has same quality as Elizabeth that no one can replace her. And in the end no one is winner.
Greed and rejection sometimes have horrible consequences. Be mature enough to handle it.
"they could never be this multidimensional so they have to run away from it" I'm dyinggg, gret reaction :')
“Don’t tell Shauna Shipman” took me way tf out 😂😂😂
She would’ve gobbled that thing up!! 😭🍽️🙉
With all the top shelf Cronenbergy effects in this flick, I love that shrimp cocktail and a chicken wing both win by a MILE 🤣
This movie deserves at LEAST one Oscar in any category m. I’d be happy for Demi to get best actress but I’m willing to put money on it that she will not win only because this is a horror film. But I feel like best original screenplay is a no brainer
the next hot 100 hit “do you ever feel like a fly in wine?”!!!!!
Literally can’t stop thinking about this movie 😅🫠😵💫
"Emotional Support Chapstick"!!!! Love it, and love you both! My Emotional Support Lip Gloss is in my br@...I mean, my pocket 😂😂😂😂
gays watching substance i luv it
Me too 😂💗
I was waiting for this Petty Pumpkins reaction omg, y'all took way too long 😭😭💔
Yep, perfect choice for a reaction from you guys. This movie is fantastic and fits perfect your channel.
It was Margaret Qualley in the Elisasue suit. Also, check the credits for the team that made her fake boobs, and also a bit of special thanks for 'all the extras covered in blood'
56:00 Amen peoples!! 🙌
11:50 Not the Nickelodeon slime 😭😭
Great reaction! ❤ This movie is very similar to Requiem For A Dream in the way it portrays mania, panic and distorted reality from a characters perspective.
The Substance is an all time classic movie already, it's a game changer. ❤
This better win at the oscars
It HAS to win big!!!
perfect casting indeed
I sort of feel like it should have just been called 'Substance', as both, well, the substance, and the opposite of shallowness. In the end, it's all about self loathing, as they are, indeed, both the same person. That's why Elisabeth was hitting herself and saying 'stop it', because Sue is her, and in the end all of the things that happen aren't caused by a different person, but rather her own weakness and desiring youth among all else.
I kind of wonder if that's the point of the company that makes the Substance, too. If it's meant to be a 'careful what you wish for' type thing, and goes terribly for everyone by design, because in the end, you can't escape yourself and your own self destructive tendencies.
I don't think it's meant to go wrong by design, I think it just always goes wrong because of the people using it, no one is going to use it if they're happy with their life and content, all the people using it are unhappy people riddled with insecurities who aren't going to "respect the balance" and instead have their mind split in two because suddenly they have this new hot body and want to forget all about their old self, creating a new identity. We can see Elisabeth in the movie constantly checking on her other body's food supply because she's so desperate to be sue forever. Basically don't give drugs to unhappy people because it'll cause an addiction, whoda thunk it. But also the company doesn't exactly go out of its way to help people, it's just kinda like "yo do all this stuff and remember you're the same person." If they wanted it to have any chance of success then it should come with EXTENSIVE amounts of therapy and shit to get people used to it and in the balance, rather than sending them a bunch of shit and going "yuh figure it out yourself" like hell they don't even help you with the sutures they just expect you to know how to do it and do it well. There should be a hospital where they focus on healing the "matrix" and then giving them therapy.
"What? You've never seen a woman at the height of their career?!" I laughed out loud.
The cinematography the SOUND DESIGN
The Cinderella comparison 🙌 I just noticed it now!
we want an i saw the tv glow reaction!! none of my favorite reaction channels have done it yet, and im dying for at least one decent reaction.
The music in this literally gave me life.
Demi and Margaret mothered so hard. All around, this was a fucking blast 🤭
right 😍since i saw the trailer I was and still here for it
the last 40 minutes of this film had my jaw on the floor. i was screaming and crying and throwing up and begging for it to stop!!!!!! felt like zzavid being forced to watch the taking of deborah logan. but its genuinely my favorite movie I've seem in a WHILE, everything about it is STAR quality.
genuinely one of the best movies this year for me
I hate needles. I love this movie. It was absolutely the movie humanity needed. This message was don't do this to yourself. Ever. I beg you.
Just watched this an hour ago and I was blown away.
We can’t stop thinking about it!
the most important lesson to learn from this film is to NEVER plug a strange usb drive into your devices
This is the best movie ever! Demi has done it and I never ever thought I’d say any movie from this time would be a complete masterpiece but this is it! A complex and comprehensive look at how awful the world treats women when we get old and the next best thing comes along.
I like how it turned into Carrie in the end.
This has to be the craziest movie I've seen. When it finished in the cinema I don't think anyone knew what they'd just watched haha
