Demi Moore On How Her New Horror Film Compares To Ghost And How Her Team Reacted When They Gave Her The Script

As a seasoned gamer of life with over three decades under my belt, I can confidently say that I’ve seen it all – from the rise and fall of video game consoles to the evolution of horror movies on the silver screen. And let me tell you, dear reader, the upcoming body horror feature “The Substance” has piqued my interest like no other.

2024 still has some thrilling horror movies lined up for the remainder of the year, including both independent productions and franchise features. Among these highly anticipated films is “The Substance,” a chilling creation by writer/director Coralie Fargeat. This thought-provoking, dark masterpiece debuted at the Cannes Film Festival this summer to rave reviews, and as its release date approaches, star Demi Moore has added fuel to the anticipation by comparing it to one of her classic 90’s roles.

Moore is likely to be fondly remembered for her role in the 1990 romance “Ghost,” where she starred alongside Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg. In a recent conversation with Empire, she connected the film to “The Substance” by drawing a parallel. Although these two movies differ greatly in tone, when Moore had the chance to review Coralie Fargeat’s script, she found a similar potential. Moore said this during the interview.

Reflecting on The Ghost’s narrative, it struck me as a blend of romance, suspense, and humor. It’s got the potential to either turn out catastrophically or miraculously pull off an unexpected success – much like [The Substance].

In a chilling body-horror genre, the movie “The Substance” revolves around Demi Moore’s character, Elisabeth Sparkle. Famous for her aerobics program, she faces unemployment on her 50th birthday, causing anxiety about her future. To regain youth and beauty, she decides to take an illicit substance, but the outcome is far from what she expected.

During a recent chat, Demi Moore admitted that she was completely unfamiliar with the script when she initially received it. Surprisingly, her management believed she’d connect with the content just by reading it, and fortunately for them, they were correct. In her interview with the magazine, she shared this insight.

As someone who has spent years immersed in the world of literature and storytelling, I can confidently say that this piece my team shared with me was nothing short of extraordinary. The way it took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, despite being just words on a page, was truly remarkable. Its depth and complexity were palpable, and the subject matter, which is of great importance in today’s world, resonated deeply with me.

Earlier this month, we got our first glimpse at the trailer for “The Substance“. It’s definitely eye-catching! In contrast to many current horror movie previews, this one doesn’t appear to reveal all its secrets – instead, it tantalizes with some intense visuals and editing techniques. I dare any horror enthusiast not to feel an immediate urge to find out more after watching the trailer below:

The most thrilling piece of information is that the movie titled “The Substance” is scheduled to hit theaters this coming spooky season of 2024. As we move closer to that chilling time, we’ll have to endure August (with the premieres of Fede Álvarez’s “Alien: Romulus” and Zoë Kravitz’s “Blink Twice“), but rest assured, the highly anticipated film featuring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid will be gracing our screens on September 20.
