The Substance Ending Explored - Will This Psychological Body Horror Will Get A Terrifying Sequel?

Ever since The Substance first premiered at the Cannes it has been the hot topic among the body horror enthusiasts because of its unique concept. The movie by acclaimed French writer-director Coralie Fargeat starring Demi Moore as a fading star takes a dig at the obsession of the glam world to remain evergreen and fight the signs of aging. However, things take a drastic turn when the character played by Demi Moore is introduced to a black-market drug called the Substance, and we see the harrowing effects of this drug on her. In this video, we will break down the movie and elaborate on the ending, and we are also going to dive deep into the nature of the titular substance and its effects.

This movie is an absolute body horror masterpiece. Can’t thank you enough for this video on this drug.

[@eldritchmorgasm4018]

Wasn't she in that "Charlie's Angels" movie, like 20 years ago?
She was the only good thing in there.

[@detestor420]

Hhahahaha. She’s an American actress who is very well known for MANY MANY roles. She was also married to Bruce Willis & Ashton Kutcher. She was in some great films in the 90s. She is 61 now and still looks amazing. If interested check out Strip Tease to see her at her peak

[@jamesthomas5109]

Same with Calendar Girl from Batman the Animated Series.

[@douglaslockwood6387]

I love that episode

[@Imjustsaying1966]

I love how you did this whole segment using a trailer from the movie and not the movie.

[@keeperofsecrets70]

Alright more insight into the secrets of the show. Great actors in the movie too. Demi moore gives a good performance of what i think Hollywood stars are like today. Ever trying to look young not realizing that age adds to a person's personality. To bad...{q}

[@DavidCarney-l8b]

Saw it last night. This movie is awesome. Dont eat while you watch it

[@shaneturner9336]

This movie was great ! The ending was awesome ! Just getting more weird , gory and crazy !

[@keithbishop4941]

Still curious if additional Substance movies could happen, each being a case study of how it goes wrong for a new person and shedding more light on the corporation that makes it

[@dreworyan5652]

Could have different effects on different people.. or different strains. They probably will never follow up tho

[@banethereckoning2638]

Saw it last night, amazing film. Demi and Margaret kiled it.

[@elizabethdayman8904]

Sounds a bit like the picture of Dorian Gray.

[@stephengiordano6959]

That’s it exactly

[@rashid-hb9lr]

Sounds like a Stanley Kubrick film

[@fergieferg9192]

Is this based on a Korean movie?

[@aokiQ]

Totally different

[@vanessac1721]

Enjoyed the callbacks or nods to The Shining, The Thing, and Carrie.

The miracle drug is like Ozempic meets the serum from Reanimator on purpose, isn't it?

[@keithbishop4941]

Was wondering about the color choice as well, probably a winking nod though

[@danitydon6976]

since the originator of the substance is never revealed.. i can see a sequel coming out for this movie.

[@gregjaro-mk7zs]

THIS BODY HORROR MOVIE MASTERPIECE STARRING DEMI MOORE & DENNIS QUAID WASN'T JUST INSPIRED BY THE SOUTH KOREAN ANIMATED HORROR FILM "BEAUTY WATER", BUT IT PAYS HOMAGE TO THE CLASSIC BODY HORROR FILMS. 💉☠️🎞️🎬🎥

[@Ilalang1604]

Thanks!

[@danitydon6976]

best movie of the decade

[@pricejapanjapan1159]

Boy this body horror deserves a second part bc who the person on the phone and who made the substance

[@bobbuilder155]

Kong has stronger arms than godzilla. Kongs arms are so strong they beat kongs arms with a hammer everyday until the arms bleed than cut kongs arms with a knife open and let it bleed out for days.

[@YeliMe]

I haven't see it yet but seems many said Demi was amazing. Curious what people thought of Margaret's acting role?

[@ashleytorres2298]

I just saw it last night! Margaret's acting really shined towards the second half. The beginning for her felt was more focused on what she meant in contrast to Demi's (Elisabeth's) character but as the movie intensified, there were pretty amazing scenes for her as she almost had her own personality. Demi was INCREDIBLE though!

[@YeliMe]

@ashleytorres2298 OMGGG I HAVE TO SEE IT!!! Sooo happy for Demi. Was always a fan

[@filmfreak21]

Its a masterpiece

[@migueldiaz7939]

I know it was Herbert West that made the substance it's probably a derivative of the reanimation Serum. 😂

[@brooklyndweller]

Sounds like a 21st Century version of Jekyll and Hyde.

[@MrBooone]

Genuine masterpiece

[@runningcommentary2125]

I don’t think the ending needs to be explained. It’s not exactly subtle.

[@iantercero5380]

Madonna would have been perfect for this role.

[@bo2720]

Demi Moore wants to be younger and hotter and turns into Margaret Qually? She may be younger and pretty but in what world is Qually sexier then Demi Moore? Even at 60, Moore is hotter.

[@erinnadia0409]

Haha that was my nitpick too! I still think Demi at 61 is prettier than Margaret 😂😅 Demi is literally a goddess, but Margaret was still amazing and she does pull of the "younger version"

[@nkjkjnkj]

the movie was insane and not in a good way. it fails at the end.

[@sufi-g8u]

name?

[@TheHorrorLegend]

The Substance 2024

[@alexnovakcz]

Cmon. The mispronunciation of director’s name it horrific. You could do the research. Thank you for the video, but it looks very disrespectful

[@RonnieEverette]

This movie was garbage 😂😂😂

[@muthascorpio]

Girl bye 👋🏻

[@zorls]

You're the only one saying that here 😂😂😂

[@RonnieEverette]

I'm the only one with intelligence and taste here 🤷🏻‍♂️😂😂😂

[@sempreviva4564]

This movie was fascinating.

[@erinnadia0409]

You can go and watch Despicable Me 4 instead then, that’s probably more your thing 😂
