The new horror film starring Demi Moore, ‘The Substance,’ has caused intense reactions among viewers, with many leaving screenings due to the extremely graphic scenes.
The plot follows a fading celebrity, played by Demi Moore, who uses a black market drug to create a younger and perfect version of herself, portrayed by Margaret Qualley, resulting in horrific side effects.
Although the film has been described as one of Moore’s best works, its brutality and use of dark humor have made some viewers feel unwell during screenings.
Reactions to the film vary widely. Some viewers report loving the experience, highlighting the film’s humor and audacity, while others simply couldn’t stand to watch until the end.
