The Substance

“REMEMBER. YOU ARE ONE.” Wow. A lot of thoughts on this one. This exceeded all expectations I had for this film and I don’t think I will ever forget the experience I had watching this in my movie theatre. This movie is insane, and it is right in your face from start to finish. I practically didn’t move a muscle the whole time while watching this. I felt stiff, uncomfortable, and I couldn’t look away from the screen. This motion picture displays the perfect representation of BODY HORROR. While watching this you feel gross, anxious, and ultimately you feel sick by visualizing what our main character is voluntarily putting herself through. It’s just fucking intense. The performances, editing, visuals and sound design were amazing. And the writing was damn near perfect. I got home from the theatre about a half hour ago and my stomach is still turning from what I just watched. That is body horror DONE RIGHT!  5/5
