This trailer doesn't do it any justice. You have no idea. It is one of the most insane movies I've ever watched in my 32 years of living. Literally walked out of theater and sat down on a bench in the lobby for 15 minutes speechless.
I feel this trailer does it every justice. Didn't watch it before watching the movie because I always feel trailers are spoilers. To trick you into coming to the cinema. This trailer however, is pretty genius.
"Invite your friends and family" lol my mother would geniunely be so angry if I suggested she watch this. This is definitely a movie that only horror fans will like. It's too much for probably like 50% of the population.
This movie taught me to be grateful and happy with what i have. To not compare yourself with others and be thankful with whatever you have and make the most out of it 🙂
Maybe this is a movie I need to see then because I am 49 and struggling to accept it because I still feel 20 and am told I look 10+ years younger. I'm not considering having work done but I just am struggling with the number of my age because I look in the mirror and still see my young adult self.
@@Gensei-Kihara i am 30 and hey if your 37 or 50 it doesnt matter. You are Still young and can work on your self esteem by working out and maybe some self hobbies
Without spoiling anything, I just want to say that the acoustics and soundplay of this movie is next level. I don't think I have ever been affected by any movies this much on my auditory faculties. It's insane.
I had to sit with my fingers in my ears so much, the crunching squelching noises were literally SOOO visceral, it was an assault on all of your senses!
You know, kind of like how certain Nicolas Cage movies feel like they resonate with his past, or Brendan Fraser in The Whale, or last year certain directors released movies that basically are self commentaries about themselves, I feel like this movie is basically the most Demi Moore movie to come out. Which I’m totally into seeing.
Funny you should say that, because out of all the movies it references, like The Shinning or 2001, people are forgetting to mention a very obvious one: Amores Perros
So TRUE! I had a sh*t eating grin or was laughing during those 20 minutes, others were silent, some screaming at shocking moments. Probably the most fun I've had with myself in movie theaters since .... well.... forever. Going again tonight (do the last showing before you go to bed LOL)
A lot of people just started nervously giggling at insanely graphic moments...and I was one of them lol But at the same time those scenes can also be so insanely sad and disturbing they make you cringe or avert your eyes.
I saw the film last night and loved it so much that I just saw it a second time. The audience was much more animated, and the girl next to me yelled “WHAT THE FUCK?” at the big reveal. It was amazing.
Is it as small as Sanctuary, or does it open up a bit? I remember wanting to see that at a cinema. It didn't come. I watched it at home. I definitely did not need to see that at a cinema. I'm hoping this is a little larger like Raw or late Cronenberg.
@@kazman_6899 you definitely need to see this in a movie theater, the sound design (and the techno soundtrack) is incredible. I didn’t see Sanctuary so I can’t compare them but The substance is really big, especially in his final part when it’s gore af (and also very funny, what a carnage!). Can’t wait to rewatch it!
I've seen The Substance a few days ago here in Amsterdam, a month before its official release. I have seen thousands of (body) horror films and never ever seen anything like this. Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley are amazing. You are in for a ride.
First of, what? How did you manage that. I really admire Margaret's acting choices. She so freaking talented and is only getting started. For all the problems I have with Demi's lifelong body obsession I have always enjoyed her presence and talent in any film.
If you think you’ve seen it all than just go watch this film. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life and I say that with the highest respect. This film is phenomenal
@@hadtobekaren it's a psychological horror film with body gore. I saw this last night on an edible and the idea of a jump scare technique is laughable in this movie's context because it is able to induce shock/awe through story, acting, makeup/special fx, and gore. If it had a jump scare moment it was the whole thing.
Just saw this movie in the theatres. The audience was quiet in the first half, nobody making a whisper. By the end of the second half, nobody could keep it together. Everyone laughing (because there's no other way to react) gasping, exclaiming, clutching the arm rests and headrests. This film is a goddamn rollercoaster. Very simple linear storytelling that holds your attention through the entire runtime. Highly recommend.
Yep, sadly its not what beauty industry in America gave up on , they will push through celebrity (look at kardashian family) to influence people that sadly follow their idol bli ndly
If you're fortunate enough to have already seen it at cannes or wherever, please don't spoil it for us who haven't seen it yet! It's very rare that a movie DOESN'T reveal its best elements and twists in the trailer. Let's encourage that!
Wow- some of y'all are straight up mask off jerks. Why be so hostile? This is a preview trailer teaser promo vid released weeks before it ever played to a general audience. Sure, say anything and spoil everything in a Movie Explained video. But there's no reason to be a jerk in the teaser trailer...
And the winner of the 2024 Oscar for: Best Screenplay Best Director Best Editing Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role Best Sound Design Best Special Effects And Best Cinematography Goes to: The Substance. 🙌
The Substance will be lucky to get a Make Up and Hairstyling nomination and maybe, possibly a Best Actress nomination. Wins are waaay beyond its scope.
I agree except for the 'Best Screenplay' nod. I think the cinematography, production design, costume design, music and sound design, editing and of course acting was FLAWLESS (except for dennis quaid's over the top one dimensional performace). If you examine the narrative closely it very much is a variation on the Robert Louis Stevenson story (that has been done to death) - The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This is the essential framework that The Substance's narrative is built upon. It does a fairly good job until we get to the mutation part in the latter half of the film. Then the narrative goes balls to the wall in extreme gore for the sake of pushing it to its limits and beyond. It almost seems like the writers thought 'Well we are doing the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' story again so might as well make it as different as possible. Its dissappointing, as this could have been a very GOOD interpretation of that classic story but the excessive horror and gore drops in into the 80s/90s horror genre unfortunately.
Just saw this with my parents. We had the whole theater to ourselves to scream at the disturbance! An incredible film that highlights many important lessons for this modern generation. Remember you are one. Respect the balance
My girlfriend and I saw it last weekend. When she saw the trailer, she was very hesitant to check it out. But after the movie, she enjoyed it. This was one of the few times she never looked at her watch. She was that engaged and had no idea the movie was nearly 2-1/2 hours. And I say it's one of the best films of the year. If Demi and Margaret aren't nominated for major awards, I'll be shocked.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Demi! You need stay working with indie directors over the mainstream. You wont be paid as well but you don't need the money and the parts will be so much better for you now! You still have fans and this is the kind of thing that will make us go "HOLY SHIT....Demi Moore was freaking AMAZING!"
I have NEVER seen a movie like this. whether you like the movie or not, you will remember it and will need to talk about it afterwards. watching it in a cinema and seeing and hearing people react (from disgust to shock to outright laughter) was amazing.
So you have never seen films by David and Brandon Cronenberg, Stanley Kubrick, Darren Aronofsky? What about B-grade horror the likes of Evil Dead, Re-Animator, Braindead, Basket Case? The Substance is basically an unoriginal remix of all of them, some shots are literally identical!
Never have I left a theatre whereEVERYONE had a strong VERBAL reaction, I mean, disgust, laughter, looking away, embracing it in awe, shock, confusion. etc. I LOVED IT!!!!
@@BikeStuffPDX, it’s interesting considering how if he hadn’t had passed away, Ray Liotta was originally supposed to take his role. But I think Quaid actually will bring something new.
I met him in a Dutch coffeeshop (The Hague) and spent a couple of hours talking to him. But I didn't recognise him. He said he was a fisherman, fished half a year took half a year off. He drank like a fish. When I saw the final season of Fortitude (which timing-wise was likely a reason he was in Europe) I realised who he was! LOL.
i love how the colors were used in this movie, the yellow, the pink, the red, how it draws the eyes, and the audio of the film is incredible. I will be rewatching it in the cinema.
Nothing prepared me for this movie. Watched this trailer for 20s, turned it off, went to the movies. Blown Fuking away. The most batshit insane movie I’ve ever seen. Had to look away from screens multiple times…
It's honestly nearly as insane as A Serbian Film. Like I place it in the same category in my mind. Which is even crazier considering there is basically nothing sexual about The Substance's horror elements. Obviously a large part of A Serbian Film's horror is sexually depraved.
@@exeter66 different type. Chainsaw is torture gruesome with no motive other than killing. The substance is body-type horror, and the gruesome parts are part of the story.
The film's opening scene was incredibly effective-it gave me all the information I needed without explicitly saying much. It begins with a shot of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, zoomed in on the protagonist's star. We see the star when it's freshly placed, with crowds flocking around, taking pictures, and celebrating the protagonist's success. As the years pass, the star begins to crack, and people walk over it, dropping trash without noticing whose name it bears. This simple, visual storytelling brilliantly set up the backstory of Elisabeth, the protagonist. Visually, this is easily the most striking film I've seen this year. Each shot feels meticulously crafted to serve the narrative, and honestly, it's so beautiful that every frame could stand on its own as a painting. The frequent close-ups were especially effective, adding a layer of intensity and creepiness to certain scenes. The color grading was perfect, enhancing the film's atmosphere. It's truly a visual masterpiece. The story and writing are incredibly clever. I don't think I've ever seen a film with such a creative narrative. In an age where original ideas feel scarce, this movie felt like a breath of fresh air-gripping from start to finish. The way it tackles ageism in Hollywood, particularly how it affects women, through a blend of camp, horror, and dark comedy, was both smart and unique. Even though many of the characters didn't have much dialogue, they were all memorable and stuck with me long after the film ended. The cast is fantastic, starting with Demi Moore, who likely drew on her own experiences with Hollywood's obsession with looks and aging. This is one of her best performances, and she deserves all the praise for it. There's a particular moment-without giving too much away-where her character ages further, and it was mesmerizing to watch. Margaret Qualley also shines in her role as Sue, a fame-hungry, egotistical character willing to do anything to get ahead. The contrast between the two characters, who are ultimately reflections of the same person, highlights how we can be our own harshest critics and how societal views on aging and appearance can deeply affect us. The rest of the cast delivers solid performances as well. Overall, this is my favorite film of the year so far!
Yeah, I agree but its ironic that this film seems to judge, demonise and ridicule women for wanting to look young and beautiful. They hypocrisy of Hollywood is staggering!!
@@mariarohmer2374 You can be beautiful AND a good person. Contrary to popular belief (not helped by films like this that demonise and ridicule any woman who wants to stay young and beautiful) the two arent mutually exclusive. People just don't seem to get how much looks impact confidence. No matter how much people want to deny it , its an inescapable truth and no one should be judged for wanting to get work done so they can feel better about themselves. It doesnt make them selfish, despite what many people think
No matter what a woman over 40 or a highly desired woman does, it will be spun in a negative way, especially our appearance because our looks aren't actually about our looks, they're about our domination, consumption, discard and (for high value targets) ultimate destruction. Our aesthetic is merely a vehicle for hopelessly pathological minds to attempt to consume what they think is our power.
I've always dreamed of meeting Hollywood's finest, from iconic legends to rising stars. But most especially, I'd love to sit down with Keanu Reeves. His humble nature, relentless work ethic, and deep wisdom have always inspired me. Who wouldn't want to meet the one and only John Wick and the Matrix’s Neo? Plus, I’d probably ask him to show me some epic action moves!
Wow, just had the most amazing experience meeting Keanu Reeves via Radiant Reservation! After watching his interview on Entertainment News where he mentioned connecting with fans through a private fan club, I couldn't believe I'd get the chance. Keanu was so genuine and down-to-earth, making the whole encounter unforgettable. His dedication to his fans truly shines through, and I'm still on cloud nine from the privilege of meeting him.
No way! That's incredible! I caught that Entertainment News interview too, and it's so heartwarming to hear about celebrities like Keanu Reeves going the extra mile for their fans. Radiant Reservation sounds like a dream come true! How did it all happen? I'm living vicariously through you right now!
Right?! I still can't believe it happened, All that is required upon discovering them is a straightforward response to emails. So, I joined this private fan club /Group via Radiant Reservation and they organize meetings with public figure It's like winning the lottery! Meeting Keanu Reeves was surreal. He's even more charming in person.
I found RR. Radiant Reservation is a fantastic community, that help make any form of arrangements with celebrities or public figures and are incredible supportive
Meeting Keanu Reeves is like a bucket list item for so many people. Thanks for sharing your incredible experience! I’ll definitely look into joining the club .
This is one of the best film trailers in a long while. Disturbing and unsettling from the first seconds. Wanted to go in blind, now want to see it even more!
AGREE! Most trailers take everything good from the movie and then you see the movie and there is nothing left to impress. THIS trailer leaves me wanting more.
There should be 2 separate screening options: 1 - respectful viewing, 2 - one that let's me scream because of how shook I am. Of all the movies released this year, this is the one I'm most excited for.
This movie was 110% worth the watch. I was intrigued by the trailer, but nothing can quite prepare you for the experience this film provides. It’s horror in a way that is evocative and unique and BEYOND STRANGE- be prepared for weird with this one! You may not shriek in fear, but you will cringe with discomfort, and if you’re a woman (or lots of men too!) you will definitely relate to some piece of it. That’s all I can say without spoiling anything, just PLEASE give it a watch! Cronenberg would be thrilled ❤
My only words are "What the hell did I just watch???". One of the best movies I have ever seen and absolutely the most original by far. The trailer isn't even 1% of how incredible this movie is!
@@Ryanyeathatsgood I disagree completely. Nothing about this seemed like Requiem for a Dream to me. More like Men (2022) meets A Serbian Film (2010) without the sexual depravity.
Thankfully I went in mostly blind, just watched the trailer. What a wild ride, I loved it. Unhinged, disturbing, hilarious, revolting, all in one great package.
Saw it yesterday. Was so hyped for this movie and boy did it not disappoint! My jaw dropped at one point. Was kind of lost for words after the film ended and my other friend said to me he was thinking throughout the movie “wtf am I watching”. Definitely go see it at the movies!
calling it a scream in cinematic form is truly the most apt description. so visceral and demanding. probably one of the best body horror movies ive seen.
Saw it. When the credits came, I said to a stranger sitting next to me "No one could ever prepare for this." The crescendo near the end reminded me of the "2001 Space Odyessy" scene near the end where "Dave" is in his capsule going 1000 mph thru a cosmic soup of sounds and light, but in Substance, it's done with new tech and amazing soundtrack blasting a cacophany of music loud thru great sound system.... you can't prepare yourself for that journey.
@@mati.p172 Ye of little faith. Wait & watch. Your comment won’t age well. Moore will pull off what Spacek couldn’t after being nominated for an equally iconoclastic performance in “Carrie”- Demi Moore will most likely win this.
I recently saw this movie and it is spectacular. Demi Moore is brilliant in it and Margaret Qualley also excellent. What I loved about the film were the deeper meanings and lessons within it. That as women (in particular) the 'younger version' of ourselves beats up our older self for not being good enough. That we must maintain that youth or we are deemed unworthy, useless and on the scrap heap of life. There are some really poignant and moving moments in it where Elizabeth is told she is still beautiful, but her own self-hatred won't allow herself to believe it. This isn't just a gore fest, this is a perceptive film on aging, self-esteem, the way we punish ourselves as women and how society perceives the older woman. WATCH IT. You will not be disappointed. Oh, and by the way. Demi Moore deserves an Oscar for this film.
Terrific review & thanks! At 49 I'm going through a hard time with depression and anxiety due to still feeling 20, being told I look like I'm in my 30's, but hating the NUMBER of my age. Maybe watching this will help me
Demi Moore is incredible in it. For someone who has built a career on her looks over her acting talent - let's be honest - she dug her teeth into this role and went all-in on the craziness, and it's utterly magnetic to watch her on this emotional rollercoaster of a movie. She absolutely deserves an Oscar nod for it.
I just watched this movie and mind you, you need to have a strong stomach and be receptive to new plotlines because you will not have time to digest this unparalleled, and unforgettable movie, which will stick to your nerve brain even after it ends. But it will be time-worthy.. give it a shot!
Quite possibly one of the best trailers I have seen in a long time and a long side that we have Demi Moore one of hollywoods finest actresses making a comeback so darn spectacular there are already major whispers of oscar nominations. I am already going to see this as many times as humanly possible. This looks like cinema to me. Hallelujah something original
You are the market they target. Simple minded people. You already KNOW youre going to see this as many times possible? HAHAHAHA, its prob gonna suck, you still gonna see it endless times! People are so freakin strange, you being one of them!
lol do know her acting career started by starring in the sleezy and gorey sci fi flick parasite from 1982, its hard one stomach if not seen it, with nasty worm thing.
@@1UpJohn actually she starred in one other horror film the seventh sign, in 1988 it okay film. Other than that nothing else horror except a couple thrillers in 90s but about it. other than that she recently few years starred in horror comedy corporate animals!
I have seen the trailer prob 500 times now. Just saw the movie and watching the trailer again. Sues initial formal introduction was basically an Exstacy trip. So hypnotic and beautiful
Seeing Dennis Quaid eat almost made me lose my appetite for years! Can't wait for the movie! Coralie Fargeat is one filmmaker to watch. After seeing "Revenge," I will watch whatever she does!
Sure, we're living in pretty hellish times, but cinema is giving me LIFE. So many good films to look forward to, with this + Anora at the top of the list

This didn't felt like a trailer. It felt like a borderline anxiety attack. (In a good way) EDIT: Just watched the film two weeks ago. For those who want to see it, GO PREPARED. Trust me.
@Ivosferatus, not sure it gives off anything near an anxiety attack. It's not even close, frantic behaviour, obsession and the determination to succeed in a goal is what I was getting from the trailer.
As somebody with anxiety who frequently has panic attacks this is pretty much how it feels like. The music is on point with how you feel during a panic attack.
@@krystalharris79only way to attend the Film Cannes Festival is to work in the industry. Then you have tiers: - top people making the product: producers, actors, etc They are invited to the showing of the production they worked on and they get + one invites - press, have free picks of shows, invites only for themselves - distributors, also have free picks of shows, invites only for themselves. You show up at the beginning of the Festival, show your accreditation and pick the shows you plan to attend. If you are late, bad luck. That’s it.
Cinema LIVES! I've been waiting seems forever for something like this to blow my socks off. Is it too long? Believe me, your idea of what time is will be not an issue as the last 25 minutes will destroy all sense of time.
😶 Watching the trailer made me want to go watch it but reading the comments and hearing about people leaving the theatre made me rethink that 🫢🫢 I don’t think I’d make it even halfway if I’m squeamish…..
This movie deserve the nomination for the Pscar's 2025. I've never seen such an amazing, and insane movie like this, and I'm not the only one persona that says that. It's the best movie that I've seen. They've made a very good work in that movie.
just got home from the theaters and i’ll just say, out of all horror movies with the same plotlines, THIS IS DIFFERENT. I loved the cinematography and pacing, it’s well done and it made the movie a living hell in the end
I left the cinema last night sobbing in tears, people looked at me as if I was crazy! I have never watched a body horror movie so deeply insightful and human! What an INSANE MASTERPIECE! 😮
This is an incredibly strange comment. The body horror elements are incredibly shocking, I can't imagine my first thought after it's over being "wow that film was so deep!"
@@azalago It’s true, but having someone who has been idolised their whole life being mobbed for looking like a freak while trying to explain ‘hey it’s still me’ somehow cracked me. And the whole film was about that, building towards that moment. I dunno it spoke to me and the fact that all the characters were somehow a caricature made the concept and moment even stronger for me. I do admit that no one else in the theater cried though
@@alexandrosos a lot of people cried, a lot of people laughed, a lot of people got angry in our theater... I totally get it. It made me realize how much grip my body dysmorphia had over me (even as a man). Class act of a movie.
this movie was bonkers and a true experience, never have i been to a film where it had both people walking out early and people either speechless or laughing at the end saying they want to see it again
10/10 This film is a work of art. A horror masterpiece. Everything is so well done here. I was floored and I'm still thinking about it. Acting, filmmaking, imagery, themes all perfectly done here. A powerful must see film.
Fantastic movie, great acting, will stick with you long after. Reflects the absurdity of beauty standards. Plus, the trailer did its job by not giving anything away with spoilers... Kudos!
Wow, saw this today and I am almost at a loss for words. Will definitely make you appreciate what you look like at this exact moment, regardless of age. The ending reminded me of the movies "Carrie" and "Rocky Horror Picture Show" combined into one. Awesome movie!👍
This trailer doesn't do it any justice. You have no idea. It is one of the most insane movies I've ever watched in my 32 years of living. Literally walked out of theater and sat down on a bench in the lobby for 15 minutes speechless.
LITERALLY
Ok it’s not that bad where you need to sit down for 15😂
I feel this trailer does it every justice. Didn't watch it before watching the movie because I always feel trailers are spoilers. To trick you into coming to the cinema. This trailer however, is pretty genius.
The movie is a critique of feminism 'girl bossing'
@@ZM-dm3jg aha, so it's probably NOT and much deeper if you, a male, writes that.
Prepare your snacks and drinks, invite your friends and family, wear your florals and go watch this. It's a MUST see
"prepare your snacks" is the worst advice ever..... my popcorn sat in my lap uneaten (as I was having the time of my life)
"Invite your friends and family" lol my mother would geniunely be so angry if I suggested she watch this.
This is definitely a movie that only horror fans will like. It's too much for probably like 50% of the population.
“Wear your florals” career ending line from Blake Lively, I think she needs the substance now lol
Wear your florals lmaooo
can i watch this with my mom😂
This movie taught me to be grateful and happy with what i have. To not compare yourself with others and be thankful with whatever you have and make the most out of it 🙂
Maybe this is a movie I need to see then because I am 49 and struggling to accept it because I still feel 20 and am told I look 10+ years younger. I'm not considering having work done but I just am struggling with the number of my age because I look in the mirror and still see my young adult self.

the fact is this movie starts and never stops, not even when its over because you’ll keep thinking about it
True
I agree. I still feel disturbed, haven’t eaten meat in a while
Потому что єтот фильм искусство😉
I kept thinking about it so much after the first time I saw it that I had to go back and see it a second time. Up to four so far!
Only thing I keep thinking is that 2:38 of my life I wont get back that was wasted on one of the top 10 WORST ENDINGS of all time
Without spoiling anything, I just want to say that the acoustics and soundplay of this movie is next level. I don't think I have ever been affected by any movies this much on my auditory faculties. It's insane.
The bass sounds for the music just kicks it. Probably one of the best looking trailers I've seen for a long time.
I had to sit with my fingers in my ears so much, the crunching squelching noises were literally SOOO visceral, it was an assault on all of your senses!
Agreed. The audio and editing gave me so much anxiety. Kept me on the edge of my seat.
Audio and editing is perfect. Dangg
PUMP IT UP!
The casting of Moore is genius!!! Given the intense online scrutiny she underwent recently regarding her cosmetic procedures. Love it.
shush slop brain
You know, kind of like how certain Nicolas Cage movies feel like they resonate with his past, or Brendan Fraser in The Whale, or last year certain directors released movies that basically are self commentaries about themselves, I feel like this movie is basically the most Demi Moore movie to come out.
Which I’m totally into seeing.
Kind of ironic.
Even back in the day when she did Striptease and GI Jane . The tabloids were always really mean to her.
@@sunnyd4125 How so? Yes, it's meta, and very appropriate, but not ironic.
Finally a trailer that actually makes the movie look interesting
EDIT ohmyogosh 4.7 thousand likes, on my comment I am genuinely shocked! but ty
But it's too long, reveal too much. I was hooked at Demi Moore, already.
Is this not the first trailer? Ik They had the teaser, but I never assume that those will do much except show off some short snippets
And playing some 90s pop song
Many trailers make a movie look interesting. That is the problem. Most of the time, the trailer is better than the actual movie.
I was hooked al ready with the first.
Here in Mexico, this movie is very popular, and everyone is talking about it. It's phenomenal, a 'modern classic.'
mexicans have taste wbk
Funny you should say that, because out of all the movies it references, like The Shinning or 2001, people are forgetting to mention a very obvious one: Amores Perros
It's so cool when people make something that sticks around.
don't be a lier, here in Sinaloa no body is talking about it.
@@EliasVillegasASMR It's made like $9 million US or so in Mexico alone or about 20% of the global gross so far.
Please go watch this in a movie theater; there's nothing like seeing people physically react to the last 20 minutes of the movie lol
So TRUE! I had a sh*t eating grin or was laughing during those 20 minutes, others were silent, some screaming at shocking moments. Probably the most fun I've had with myself in movie theaters since .... well.... forever. Going again tonight (do the last showing before you go to bed LOL)
I left the cinema sobbing in tears, the scene in the theater cracked me
A lot of people just started nervously giggling at insanely graphic moments...and I was one of them lol But at the same time those scenes can also be so insanely sad and disturbing they make you cringe or avert your eyes.
I agree! People should be filmed whilst watching the film :)))))
I saw the film last night and loved it so much that I just saw it a second time. The audience was much more animated, and the girl next to me yelled “WHAT THE FUCK?” at the big reveal. It was amazing.
Saw it in Cannes, idk how they managed to keep secret the most impressive moments while make you want to (re)watch it. Brilliant marketing!
Is it as small as Sanctuary, or does it open up a bit? I remember wanting to see that at a cinema. It didn't come. I watched it at home. I definitely did not need to see that at a cinema. I'm hoping this is a little larger like Raw or late Cronenberg.
@@kazman_6899 you definitely need to see this in a movie theater, the sound design (and the techno soundtrack) is incredible.

@@kazman_6899 It's BIG
@@kazman_6899I would rebuttal and say my experience with sanctuary was def better in theaters than at home
Does anything interesting anything like more versions of demi's character are created
I've seen The Substance a few days ago here in Amsterdam, a month before its official release. I have seen thousands of (body) horror films and never ever seen anything like this. Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley are amazing. You are in for a ride.
@@janveering CAN you tell us about Demi Moore nude scenes?
“boy” horror, eh? Aren’t you supposed to remain at least 1500 meters away from all elementary schools? Asking for a friend. 😂
Yeah - this looks super!! Feels like Cronenberg passed the baton on to the next body horror genius.
Does Demi Moore appear completely Naked?
First of, what? How did you manage that. I really admire Margaret's acting choices. She so freaking talented and is only getting started. For all the problems I have with Demi's lifelong body obsession I have always enjoyed her presence and talent in any film.
If you think you’ve seen it all than just go watch this film. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life and I say that with the highest respect. This film is phenomenal
if i took the substance i would become a smaller shed -SH
Is this scary? Like there jumpscares or I heard it’s kinda gross
@@hadtobekaren it's a psychological horror film with body gore. I saw this last night on an edible and the idea of a jump scare technique is laughable in this movie's context because it is able to induce shock/awe through story, acting, makeup/special fx, and gore. If it had a jump scare moment it was the whole thing.
@@hadtobekaren If you like the movie "The Thing" then "The Substance" is for you. It slowly picks up but the ending is horribly gory and disgusting.
Just saw this movie in the theatres.
The audience was quiet in the first half, nobody making a whisper.
By the end of the second half, nobody could keep it together. Everyone laughing (because there's no other way to react) gasping, exclaiming, clutching the arm rests and headrests.
This film is a goddamn rollercoaster. Very simple linear storytelling that holds your attention through the entire runtime. Highly recommend.
Do you think I should see it for free because I have a cinema subscription?
imo it would be torture watching that in a theatre WTF
Haven't seen it yet, is it like human centipede or something? @@psychedeli_
your relaxed, happy, healthy and natural self is the most beautiful person you can and will ever be, remember that people.

I can't relax.
If you're fortunate enough to have already seen it at cannes or wherever, please don't spoil it for us who haven't seen it yet!
It's very rare that a movie DOESN'T reveal its best elements and twists in the trailer. Let's encourage that!
This isn't a spoiler I just wanted to say - gosh IT WAS SO AMAZING
She turns into a monster and dies
well don't go over the comments then wtf...nobody forces you.
MILD SPOILER
The part where she walks to the theme from 2001: A Space Odessey is so fucking awesome. 10/10 movie, very disturbing in the best way.
Wow- some of y'all are straight up mask off jerks. Why be so hostile?
This is a preview trailer teaser promo vid released weeks before it ever played to a general audience.
Sure, say anything and spoil everything in a Movie Explained video. But there's no reason to be a jerk in the teaser trailer...
And the winner of the 2024 Oscar for:

🙌
DEMI M O O R E ..... in the f * * * * * G H O U S E ..... people...!!! SHE R O C K S !!!!!!
The Substance will be lucky to get a Make Up and Hairstyling nomination and maybe, possibly a Best Actress nomination. Wins are waaay beyond its scope.
@@VishalKarthik-ds2oh I can only assume you're deaf and blind or simply haven't seen it. the editing alone is masterful
I agree except for the 'Best Screenplay' nod. I think the cinematography, production design, costume design, music and sound design, editing and of course acting was FLAWLESS (except for dennis quaid's over the top one dimensional performace).
If you examine the narrative closely it very much is a variation on the Robert Louis Stevenson story (that has been done to death) - The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
This is the essential framework that The Substance's narrative is built upon. It does a fairly good job until we get to the mutation part in the latter half of the film.
Then the narrative goes balls to the wall in extreme gore for the sake of pushing it to its limits and beyond.
It almost seems like the writers thought 'Well we are doing the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' story again so might as well make it as different as possible.
Its dissappointing, as this could have been a very GOOD interpretation of that classic story but the excessive horror and gore drops in into the 80s/90s horror genre unfortunately.
And oscar for sickest one movie. Which must be avoided always for everyone. Wtf movie is this !
Just saw this with my parents. We had the whole theater to ourselves to scream at the disturbance! An incredible film that highlights many important lessons for this modern generation. Remember you are one. Respect the balance
You're a fucking liar lol
I just got done watching it and I couldn’t think of a worse film to watch with my parents
My girlfriend and I saw it last weekend. When she saw the trailer, she was very hesitant to check it out. But after the movie, she enjoyed it. This was one of the few times she never looked at her watch. She was that engaged and had no idea the movie was nearly 2-1/2 hours. And I say it's one of the best films of the year. If Demi and Margaret aren't nominated for major awards, I'll be shocked.
is there any sex scenes?
@@skDanToh
She's perfect for this role. Just like in Black Swan when Wynona and Natalie have that spat. Art imitates life.
Gotta love that 90s psychosexual drama that occasionally still surfaces in cinema today!
Did Rider and Natalie have actual fight on the set?>
@@MidgardSerpent no, it was a scene in the movie

You will know them by their fruits
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Demi! You need stay working with indie directors over the mainstream. You wont be paid as well but you don't need the money and the parts will be so much better for you now! You still have fans and this is the kind of thing that will make us go "HOLY SHIT....Demi Moore was freaking AMAZING!"
How do you know she doesn't need the money? She has a family and a lifestyle.
@@karenphelan6107right exactly what I came to say
Did you see the movie
@@karenphelan6107bc the person commenting is her bank account a big iindie film fan
You are wild and entitled and don't understand art. Which makes you a customer not a fan of storytelling
I have NEVER seen a movie like this. whether you like the movie or not, you will remember it and will need to talk about it afterwards. watching it in a cinema and seeing and hearing people react (from disgust to shock to outright laughter) was amazing.
So you have never seen films by David and Brandon Cronenberg, Stanley Kubrick, Darren Aronofsky? What about B-grade horror the likes of Evil Dead, Re-Animator, Braindead, Basket Case? The Substance is basically an unoriginal remix of all of them, some shots are literally identical!
Believe me, it's INSANE
Basically, the female version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, only a bit meta.
@@osmanyousif7849 is the hyde terrifying to look at?
YOU SAW IT?
@@ibrahimabobakr8345 At Cannes Film Festival !!
@@ibrahimabobakr8345 Yep, at this year Cannes Film Festival 👌🏻
Never have I left a theatre whereEVERYONE had a strong VERBAL reaction, I mean, disgust, laughter, looking away, embracing it in awe, shock, confusion. etc. I LOVED IT!!!!
Dennis Quaid looks like an absolutely twisted delight in this lol.
He's gone full MAGA. Fuck him.
Has Joker Jack Nicholson vibes
With this and his new Reagan movie coming out, he’s probably gonna have the year of his life.
@@BikeStuffPDX, it’s interesting considering how if he hadn’t had passed away, Ray Liotta was originally supposed to take his role. But I think Quaid actually will bring something new.
I met him in a Dutch coffeeshop (The Hague) and spent a couple of hours talking to him. But I didn't recognise him. He said he was a fisherman, fished half a year took half a year off. He drank like a fish. When I saw the final season of Fortitude (which timing-wise was likely a reason he was in Europe) I realised who he was! LOL.
i love how the colors were used in this movie, the yellow, the pink, the red, how it draws the eyes, and the audio of the film is incredible. I will be rewatching it in the cinema.
Watched it. Y’all aren’t ready.
Good!
@@67italiana Agreed!! Looking forward to it! I love films that challenge my senses. I've seen too many over the years, need stuff that shakes me up.
For what? Disappointing mediocrity?
@@edjackson4389get over yourself.
Drunk driving kills. Please...be safe. Never get behind the wheel while drunk!
Nothing prepared me for this movie. Watched this trailer for 20s, turned it off, went to the movies. Blown Fuking away. The most batshit insane movie I’ve ever seen. Had to look away from screens multiple times…
It's honestly nearly as insane as A Serbian Film. Like I place it in the same category in my mind. Which is even crazier considering there is basically nothing sexual about The Substance's horror elements.
Obviously a large part of A Serbian Film's horror is sexually depraved.
Same I just watched it such a fucked up good movie
is it like chainsaw horror?? I wouldn't like that
@@exeter66 different type. Chainsaw is torture gruesome with no motive other than killing. The substance is body-type horror, and the gruesome parts are part of the story.
So GLAD to see DEMI back on screen where she BELONGS!
The film's opening scene was incredibly effective-it gave me all the information I needed without explicitly saying much. It begins with a shot of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, zoomed in on the protagonist's star. We see the star when it's freshly placed, with crowds flocking around, taking pictures, and celebrating the protagonist's success. As the years pass, the star begins to crack, and people walk over it, dropping trash without noticing whose name it bears. This simple, visual storytelling brilliantly set up the backstory of Elisabeth, the protagonist.
Visually, this is easily the most striking film I've seen this year. Each shot feels meticulously crafted to serve the narrative, and honestly, it's so beautiful that every frame could stand on its own as a painting. The frequent close-ups were especially effective, adding a layer of intensity and creepiness to certain scenes. The color grading was perfect, enhancing the film's atmosphere. It's truly a visual masterpiece.
The story and writing are incredibly clever. I don't think I've ever seen a film with such a creative narrative. In an age where original ideas feel scarce, this movie felt like a breath of fresh air-gripping from start to finish. The way it tackles ageism in Hollywood, particularly how it affects women, through a blend of camp, horror, and dark comedy, was both smart and unique. Even though many of the characters didn't have much dialogue, they were all memorable and stuck with me long after the film ended.
The cast is fantastic, starting with Demi Moore, who likely drew on her own experiences with Hollywood's obsession with looks and aging. This is one of her best performances, and she deserves all the praise for it. There's a particular moment-without giving too much away-where her character ages further, and it was mesmerizing to watch. Margaret Qualley also shines in her role as Sue, a fame-hungry, egotistical character willing to do anything to get ahead. The contrast between the two characters, who are ultimately reflections of the same person, highlights how we can be our own harshest critics and how societal views on aging and appearance can deeply affect us. The rest of the cast delivers solid performances as well.
Overall, this is my favorite film of the year so far!
Demi is 61 and looks amazing! I don’t give a damn what she’s done, whatever it is, it’s working.
Why do looks matter so much to you? What about her as a person?
It’s called plastic surgery
Yeah, I agree but its ironic that this film seems to judge, demonise and ridicule women for wanting to look young and beautiful. They hypocrisy of Hollywood is staggering!!
@@mariarohmer2374 You can be beautiful AND a good person. Contrary to popular belief (not helped by films like this that demonise and ridicule any woman who wants to stay young and beautiful) the two arent mutually exclusive. People just don't seem to get how much looks impact confidence. No matter how much people want to deny it , its an inescapable truth and no one should be judged for wanting to get work done so they can feel better about themselves. It doesnt make them selfish, despite what many people think
No matter what a woman over 40 or a highly desired woman does, it will be spun in a negative way, especially our appearance because our looks aren't actually about our looks, they're about our domination, consumption, discard and (for high value targets) ultimate destruction. Our aesthetic is merely a vehicle for hopelessly pathological minds to attempt to consume what they think is our power.
I've always dreamed of meeting Hollywood's finest, from iconic legends to rising stars. But most especially, I'd love to sit down with Keanu Reeves. His humble nature, relentless work ethic, and deep wisdom have always inspired me. Who wouldn't want to meet the one and only John Wick and the Matrix’s Neo? Plus, I’d probably ask him to show me some epic action moves!
Wow, just had the most amazing experience meeting Keanu Reeves via Radiant Reservation! After watching his interview on Entertainment News where he mentioned connecting with fans through a private fan club, I couldn't believe I'd get the chance. Keanu was so genuine and down-to-earth, making the whole encounter unforgettable. His dedication to his fans truly shines through, and I'm still on cloud nine from the privilege of meeting him.
No way! That's incredible! I caught that Entertainment News interview too, and it's so heartwarming to hear about celebrities like Keanu Reeves going the extra mile for their fans. Radiant Reservation sounds like a dream come true! How did it all happen? I'm living vicariously through you right now!
Right?! I still can't believe it happened, All that is required upon discovering them is a straightforward response to emails. So, I joined this private fan club /Group via Radiant Reservation and they organize meetings with public figure It's like winning the lottery! Meeting Keanu Reeves was surreal. He's even more charming in person.
I found RR. Radiant Reservation is a fantastic community, that help make any form of arrangements with celebrities or public figures and are incredible supportive
Meeting Keanu Reeves is like a bucket list item for so many people. Thanks for sharing your incredible experience! I’ll definitely look into joining the club .
This is one of the best film trailers in a long while. Disturbing and unsettling from the first seconds. Wanted to go in blind, now want to see it even more!
Trailers are just that. It could be terrible
@@poxylandgamesers959 it’s got very good reviews so far based on early screenings.

This, my dear trailer makers of today, is how a trailer is made.
What do you know about it?
Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one
@nd7 agree!! Too many nonsense trailers out giving away the entire plot!

@@WhyKnot-lr1kk Yes, . . . and most of them (arseholes & opinions) stink.

yes the actin oscar deserve
unfortunately genre movies don't get oscar noms
@@anishinaabaeYes but this is a masterpiece!
after she gets an Oscar then what?
There should be 2 separate screening options: 1 - respectful viewing, 2 - one that let's me scream because of how shook I am. Of all the movies released this year, this is the one I'm most excited for.
I will scream no matter what haha
cringe. slop sheep
I think the Alamo Drafthouse has alternative screenings where patrons can get more rowdy. Hope you live near one!
Or just be a normal, adult man and contain yourself?
Update: Saw it twice in 2 days. Gonna scream on the 3rd viewing.
This movie was 110% worth the watch. I was intrigued by the trailer, but nothing can quite prepare you for the experience this film provides. It’s horror in a way that is evocative and unique and BEYOND STRANGE- be prepared for weird with this one! You may not shriek in fear, but you will cringe with discomfort, and if you’re a woman (or lots of men too!) you will definitely relate to some piece of it. That’s all I can say without spoiling anything, just PLEASE give it a watch! Cronenberg would be thrilled ❤
My only words are "What the hell did I just watch???". One of the best movies I have ever seen and absolutely the most original by far. The trailer isn't even 1% of how incredible this movie is!
I was not prepared for what I saw. Requiem for a Dream meets Dead Alive. It was incredible.
Thank you! I can't believe you're the first person I've seen mention Requiem for a Dream vibes.
Lol I was actually thinking that while watching it this morning.
What? You really compare Requiem for a dream with that TRASH?
@@Ryanyeathatsgood I disagree completely. Nothing about this seemed like Requiem for a Dream to me.
More like Men (2022) meets A Serbian Film (2010) without the sexual depravity.
Requiem for a dream meet The Fly is what i heard someone else say :)
Thankfully I went in mostly blind, just watched the trailer. What a wild ride, I loved it. Unhinged, disturbing, hilarious, revolting, all in one great package.
The best film I have seen in a very long time. Please can Demi Moore win an Oscar for this? She was phenomenal!!!! Amazing
I'm 35 and this was the most insane movie I've ever seen. Batshit crazy. I will need days to process this haha
Bro.... 36 here..... HOLY S!
Saw it yesterday. Was so hyped for this movie and boy did it not disappoint! My jaw dropped at one point. Was kind of lost for words after the film ended and my other friend said to me he was thinking throughout the movie “wtf am I watching”. Definitely go see it at the movies!
Do you think I should see it for free because I have a cinema subscription?
calling it a scream in cinematic form is truly the most apt description. so visceral and demanding. probably one of the best body horror movies ive seen.
Recommending American Mary to those who enjoyed this movie
Saw it. When the credits came, I said to a stranger sitting next to me "No one could ever prepare for this." The crescendo near the end reminded me of the "2001 Space Odyessy" scene near the end where "Dave" is in his capsule going 1000 mph thru a cosmic soup of sounds and light, but in Substance, it's done with new tech and amazing soundtrack blasting a cacophany of music loud thru great sound system.... you can't prepare yourself for that journey.
Demi Moore is going to win an Oscar for this, I intuit.
i would love to, but Oscar voters don't like genre films
@@mati.p172 Ye of little faith. Wait & watch. Your comment won’t age well. Moore will pull off what Spacek couldn’t after being nominated for an equally iconoclastic performance in “Carrie”- Demi Moore will most likely win this.
@@jonathann5205 so let's get back here on the Oscar nominations morning to find out who was right
@@mati.p172 You’re on bro 😂
@@jonathann5205 well let’s wait for her to get nominated first.
I recently saw this movie and it is spectacular. Demi Moore is brilliant in it and Margaret Qualley also excellent. What I loved about the film were the deeper meanings and lessons within it. That as women (in particular) the 'younger version' of ourselves beats up our older self for not being good enough. That we must maintain that youth or we are deemed unworthy, useless and on the scrap heap of life. There are some really poignant and moving moments in it where Elizabeth is told she is still beautiful, but her own self-hatred won't allow herself to believe it. This isn't just a gore fest, this is a perceptive film on aging, self-esteem, the way we punish ourselves as women and how society perceives the older woman. WATCH IT. You will not be disappointed. Oh, and by the way. Demi Moore deserves an Oscar for this film.
Terrific review & thanks! At 49 I'm going through a hard time with depression and anxiety due to still feeling 20, being told I look like I'm in my 30's, but hating the NUMBER of my age. Maybe watching this will help me
Demi Moore is incredible in it. For someone who has built a career on her looks over her acting talent - let's be honest - she dug her teeth into this role and went all-in on the craziness, and it's utterly magnetic to watch her on this emotional rollercoaster of a movie. She absolutely deserves an Oscar nod for it.
I just watched this movie and mind you, you need to have a strong stomach and be receptive to new plotlines because you will not have time to digest this unparalleled, and unforgettable movie, which will stick to your nerve brain even after it ends. But it will be time-worthy.. give it a shot!
Quite possibly one of the best trailers I have seen in a long time and a long side that we have Demi Moore one of hollywoods finest actresses making a comeback so darn spectacular there are already major whispers of oscar nominations. I am already going to see this as many times as humanly possible. This looks like cinema to me. Hallelujah something original
ok
Good rule of thumb. Never has a true masterpiece had to proclaim itself a masterpiece in the trailer 😉
You are the market they target. Simple minded people. You already KNOW youre going to see this as many times possible? HAHAHAHA, its prob gonna suck, you still gonna see it endless times! People are so freakin strange, you being one of them!

This didn't felt like a trailer.
It felt like a borderline anxiety attack.
(In a good way)
EDIT: Just watched the film two weeks ago. For those who want to see it, GO PREPARED. Trust me.
@Ivosferatus, not sure it gives off anything near an anxiety attack. It's not even close, frantic behaviour, obsession and the determination to succeed in a goal is what I was getting from the trailer.
As somebody with anxiety who frequently has panic attacks this is pretty much how it feels like. The music is on point with how you feel during a panic attack.

Then you have tiers:
- top people making the product: producers, actors, etc They are invited to the showing of the production they worked on and they get + one invites
- press, have free picks of shows, invites only for themselves
- distributors, also have free picks of shows, invites only for themselves.
You show up at the beginning of the Festival, show your accreditation and pick the shows you plan to attend. If you are late, bad luck.

just got home from the theaters and i’ll just say, out of all horror movies with the same plotlines, THIS IS DIFFERENT. I loved the cinematography and pacing, it’s well done and it made the movie a living hell in the end
Demi Moore makes everything she's in better.
Honestly, FINALLY a movie that is truly great. I had so much fun with this one! THANK YOU WONDERFUL CAST AND EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS MOVIE POSSIBLE!
Entertaining, satirical, original, and extremely gory with an extraordinary moral behind: the significance of Self-Acceptance.
Full body chills. Literally cannot wait
Hehehe… see what you did there.
You literally have to wait though 😂
I left the cinema last night sobbing in tears, people looked at me as if I was crazy! I have never watched a body horror movie so deeply insightful and human! What an INSANE MASTERPIECE! 😮
It honestly made me feel better about my age lol and to just accept it.
This is an incredibly strange comment. The body horror elements are incredibly shocking, I can't imagine my first thought after it's over being "wow that film was so deep!"
@@azalago It’s true, but having someone who has been idolised their whole life being mobbed for looking like a freak while trying to explain ‘hey it’s still me’ somehow cracked me. And the whole film was about that, building towards that moment. I dunno it spoke to me and the fact that all the characters were somehow a caricature made the concept and moment even stronger for me. I do admit that no one else in the theater cried though
@@alexandrosos a lot of people cried, a lot of people laughed, a lot of people got angry in our theater... I totally get it. It made me realize how much grip my body dysmorphia had over me (even as a man). Class act of a movie.
@@sunnymuffinsmuffysunnins4744 well said, so true
Damn when you thought the trailer was good, the film surpasses all your wildest dreams. Loved this movie!
this movie was zo f great awesome and insane like damnnnnnnn
Finger crossed MUBI are releasing wide in the UK. Just praying for my local multiplex to show this like they did with Pricilla.
this movie was bonkers and a true experience, never have i been to a film where it had both people walking out early and people either speechless or laughing at the end saying they want to see it again
10/10 This film is a work of art. A horror masterpiece. Everything is so well done here. I was floored and I'm still thinking about it. Acting, filmmaking, imagery, themes all perfectly done here. A powerful must see film.
Cinematography 10/10, Sound Design 10/10, Acting 10/10, everything about this movie just hits hard
Fantastic movie, great acting, will stick with you long after. Reflects the absurdity of beauty standards. Plus, the trailer did its job by not giving anything away with spoilers... Kudos!
Wow, saw this today and I am almost at a loss for words. Will definitely make you appreciate what you look like at this exact moment, regardless of age. The ending reminded me of the movies "Carrie" and "Rocky Horror Picture Show" combined into one. Awesome movie!👍
