Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself?
You. Only better in every way.
Seriously.
You've got to try this new product. It's called The Substance.
IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
It generates another you.
A new, younger, more beautiful, more perfect, you.
And there’s only one rule: You share time.
One week for you. One week for the new you.
Seven days each. A perfect balance.
Easy. Right?
If you respect the balance... what could possibly go wrong?
“A grisly fantasy-parable of misogyny and body-objectification.”
- The Guardian"Shocking and resonant, disarmingly grotesque and weirdly fun, 'The Substance' is a feminist body-horror film that should be shown in movie theaters all over the land."
- Variety“The year’s smartest, goriest horror breakout.”
- Deadline"An epic, audacious, and insanely gross body horror masterpiece."
- IndieWire"Fargeat further confirms her status as a bracingly feminist filmmaker."
- Screen International"Fargeat flaunts an exciting hyperactive style."
- The Hollywood Reporter"Bold, stark work that pushes itself to greater heights and increasingly ludicrous lows, ensuring you feel every punch in your gut."
