As a long-time aficionado of horror movies, I can confidently say that 2024 has been a veritable feast for fright fans like myself. With the recent releases of Osgood Perkins’ Longlegs, Tilman Singer’s Cuckoo, and Fede Álvarez’s Alien: Romulus, it feels like Halloween came early this year. But I have to admit, even among such stellar company, Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance stands out as the pièce de résistance.
2024 has been an exciting year for enthusiasts of horror movies. While there have certainly been some disappointments, the summer season has provided a wealth of outstanding films such as Osgood Perkins’ critically acclaimed “Longlegs”, Tilman Singer’s “Cuckoo” and Fede Álvarez’s highly anticipated “Alien: Romulus” (opening in theaters this Friday). Rest assured, the most exceptional horror experience is yet to come. In less than a month, audiences will have the opportunity to witness the unforgettable, awe-inspiring, and masterfully disturbing “The Substance”.
Currently, this movie might be too adventurous for the average moviegoer, but the recently released trailer certainly gives a tantalizing preview of what’s to come.
Under the direction of Coralie Fargeat, renowned for her 2017 film “Revenge“, comes the movie titled “The Substance“. In this production, Demi Moore portrays Elisabeth Sparkle, a TV aerobics host who is unceremoniously let go by her network’s distasteful CEO Harvey (played by Dennis Quaid) on her 50th birthday. With her self-worth crumbling, she becomes enticed by the alluring prospects of a revolutionary medical treatment. After receiving an innovative serum injection, two versions of Elisabeth appear – one retaining her original identity as Elisabeth, while another, more youthful and beautiful incarnation named Sue (portrayed by Margaret Qualley) arises. They are informed that they must alternately live their separate lives, acknowledging their unity but disregarding the rules, which subsequently leads to… complications.
Demi Moore On How Her New Horror Film Compares To Ghost And How Her Team Reacted When They Gave Her The Script
Earlier in the year, “The Substance” made its debut at the Cannes Film Festival where it won the Best Screenplay award. Demi Moore’s daring and candid performance received widespread praise. After the intriguing sneak peek released over the summer, this new trailer offers a more comprehensive glimpse into the upcoming horror film, yet it barely hints at the intense madness that this production promises.
In this revised version, here’s how I’d express the original text:
When exactly will “The Substance” be available for viewing? This movie, which Mubi recently acquired prior to its Cannes premiere, is planned for a theater release on September 20. Given its impending arrival and the buzz it’s likely to generate as the award season approaches and critics and film groups start discussing the top films of 2024, it’s advisable to jot down this date on your calendar now.
