Demi Moore as Elizabeth Sparkle in The Substance
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for The Substance.Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance is one of the most ambitious horror movies of 2024. Its vibrant and psychedelic visuals are addictive, making it relentless and consuming in both its imagery and its subject matter. Demi Moore leads as Hollywood has-been Elizabeth Sparkle whose career is beginning to fade due to her age.
1 Curiosity gets the better of her, and when she plugs the hard drive in, she is met with an abrasive, bold TV advert played to the compulsive techno soundtrack that also scored the movie’s trailer. After eventually feeling her situation is so inescapable, she decides to try the substance. The product comes with clear instructions; activate only once, stabilize daily, and switch every seven days.
'The Substance' Pushes the Limits of Body Horror Sue revels in her new lifestyle for weeks whilst Elizabeth wastes away in a purpose-built cupboard. Having built the perfect life for herself, Sue forgets the major caveats of the substance. This total neglect of her original body leads to her running out of stabilizer fluid right before New Year's Eve and forces her to switch to allow more fluid to regenerate.
