'The Substance', starring Demi Moore, is generating buzz as one of the most divisive films of 2024. Critics are lauding its brilliantly disgusting and deranged portrayal of body horror, pushing boundaries on societal beauty ideals and the pressures of aging in Hollywood. With its shocking use of 36,000 gallons of fake blood and a gruesome narrative, the film is described as both a feminist commentary and a visceral exploration of inner demons. As it opens in nearly 2,000 theaters, discussions around its provocative themes and Moore's haunting performance abound, with some labeling it the 'most disgusting film ever.' The film's ambitious critique of ageism and beauty standards places it at the forefront of contemporary horror cinema, marking a bold comeback for Moore amidst a wave of polarizing reviews.
