The Substance
The Substance: A younger version of yourself
A closer look at the story
Elisabeth Sparkle, once a shining star of television as the host of an aerobics show, is fired on the grounds of her age. As she struggles with the blow, a mysterious laboratory comes to her with an unusual offer: a black-market substance that replicates cells to create, for a time, a younger and "better" version of the person who takes it. When Elisabeth accepts, a young woman called Sue enters her life, but the miracle is only temporary. Written and directed by Coralie Fargeat, the 141-minute 2024 film stars Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid in a shocking body-horror film.
