THE SUBSTANCE Trailer Promises Glamour, Delivers Horror

Mubi has released the official trailer for the upcoming body horror film, THE SUBSTANCE.


Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself?

You. Only better in every way. 

You’ve got to try this product: The Substance.

It changed my life.


Demi Moore gives a career best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid). 

 

She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: THE SUBSTANCE. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue (Margaret Qualley). 

 

The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could go wrong?

 

Deliriously entertaining and ruthlessly satirical, Coralie Fargeat’s Cannes sensation turns toxic beauty culture inside out with a be-careful-what-you-wish-for fable for the ages. Explosive, provocative and twisted, THE SUBSTANCE marks the arrival of a thrillingly visionary filmmaker.


THE SUBSTANCE arrives in theaters on September 20, 2024.
