The Substance (2024)
Directed by Coralie Fargeat
4.5/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"141 minQuick Hit
The Substance comes off like a flesh-crawling nightmare—gnarly, glossy, while the pressure keeps climbing.
Full Take
The Substance leans hard into body horror energy, and Coralie Fargeat keeps the tone gnarly without letting the movie drift. The craft is sharp, the mood is nasty, and the pressure keeps building until the whole thing snaps. This is the kind of horror that lingers after the credits.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
I’m in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didn’t fully connect.
This didn’t really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.
