The Substance2024

ONE OF THE GREATEST BODY HORROR FILMS EVER MADE!!!!!!!! If Coralie Fargeat’s debut film “Revenge” was too much for you to digest, then I bet you that was nothing in front her second film.  Once I got to know the concept, I thought this would surely escalate at some point. But didn’t expect it to escalate to a level where my jaw dropped in amazement in multiple sequences and prosthetic marvel they have achieved in this - Phew!!!! It’s gross but spectacularly gross if you know what I mean. This is surely not for those who can’t digest the level of body-horror that unfolds before us.  “The shining” reference and usage of Richard Strauss's "Einleitung" was pure perfection in that surreal finale, considering the same was used by Stanley Kubrick in 2001 - A space odyssey.  Both Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley were wildly excellent. If I had to make a list of top 10 or 20 body-horror films of all time, then this will be there in the list. INCREDIBLE. #MyShit certified
