When it comes to upcoming horror movies, one of this year’s best may be hitting theaters this weekend, with Demi Moore ’s body horror flick The Substance causing quite a stir amongst critics since its premiere at Cannes.

"The Substance" is a dark modern fable that starts out blaming men for reducing women to sex objects and then cuts deeper. Fargeat saves a special rage for women who conspire in their own diminishment, trading their soul in a pulse beat for a few more shining hours as a goddess.

Since its Cannes premiere “The Substance” has churned controversy over its body horror scenario, frequent, flagrant nudity – and buzz about a Best Actress Oscar nomination for Demi Moore.
