It seems like everyone’s talking about (and unfortunately sharing social media GIF spoilers from) The Substance, Coralie Fargeat’s body-swapping, body-horror masterpiece starring Demi Moore as a fading celebrity who injects herself with a cell-replicating green substance that quite literally makes her give birth to a younger version of herself (Margaret Qualley).
With its shades of David Cronenberg and Stuart Gordon, The Substance firmly catapults Fargeat (Revenge) into the realm of mad genius, and distributor MUBI has managed to scare up $34 million at the worldwide box office thanks largely to the incredibly positive word-of-mouth. Granted, this movie should be making way more money than that, but I digress.
If you’ve been dying to experience The Substance but haven’t been able to get out to your local theater, the good news is that Fargeat’s new movie is coming home for Halloween!
In fact, The Substance heads home ON Halloween. The film will be available to watch at home on Thursday, October 31, exclusively on MUBI’s very own streaming platform.
Yes, there’s a MUBI streaming service. And yes, you’ll have to sign up to be able to watch the movie on there next week. The good news? You can grab a 7 DAY FREE TRIAL right now!
The Substance also stars Dennis Quaid, who quite literally chews the scenery in one of the most revolting old-dude-savagely-eating-shellfish scenes your eyes will ever care to witness.
Don’t miss The Substance on MUBI this Halloween, and catch it in theaters now.
