NoOneDiesFromLove Posted September 15 Posted September 15 On 9/9/2024 at 3:42 PM, Jack! said: I saw The Substance tonight. My cinema had a Scream Unseen and was expecting Speak No Evil and was so excited that it was The Substance. Easily the scariest and most uncomfortable movie I've seen not just this year, but perhaps of the 20s, maybe ever. The third act set off a visceral reaction in me so much I actually had to leave the cinema. I'm 28 and seen a lot of horror films and I've NEVER had to do that. I came back and tried to watch from the back wall and had to leave again. I have to give it 5 stars, because essentially to be that scared of a horror movie, its succeeded in it's job. STFUUUU this just made me over the top excited to watch the Substance on Thursday

katara Posted September 15 Posted September 15 Omg I had a laughing fit at the 3rd act of The Substance Like why was it so funny when it shouldn't be? I haven't laughed this much during a movie in a loooong while. Great movie though. Demi and Sarah slayed. I watched it online but def also going to cinema when it drops next week just to see the reactions of my friends

TYMPS Posted September 19 Posted September 19 The Substance is easily the best horror film this year and a nu classic ~ 1
Likingstars Posted September 20 Posted September 20 The Substance is undeniably the best horror this year and since Hereditary for me. Top notch acting, writing, direction, cinematography… you name it. 3
Reverse Warholian Posted September 20 Posted September 20 (edited) I can't wait for this thread to be populated with more The Substance reviews so we can engage in some proper SPOILER discussions. @mellenthin is it playing yet in Bhutan? Spoiler I wanna eat Margaret Quailley out so bad @Sexyzinger Edited September 20 by Reverse Warholian

Uncatena Posted September 20 Posted September 20 The Substance kicking Longleg's ASS ooooh get up, flop. No but seriously, kinda changed cinema? I haven't seen a movie like this... ever? It feels like it could only be made and theatrically released in like the 70s or 80s. GREAT trailer too, there was a LOT of stuff that surprised me. Spoiler them keeping out Demi looking like a fairy tale witch was SO smart 1
ICLDXU4HS Posted September 20 Posted September 20 The Substance was truly the one!!! I had no idea it was by the same director that did Revenge. I rewatched that just a few days ago and liked it much better than the first time I saw it. A legend, I fear. Can't wait to see what she does next! 1

I might even fly out to Bangladesh to catch it, since Bhutan's only cinema is closed due to renovation atm. 1

Sexyzinger Posted September 20 Posted September 20 Oh wow lemme go see The Substance this weekend 👀 I want to see Halle Berry's film Never Let Go too 1
Reverse Warholian Posted September 21 Posted September 21 (edited) My one tiny gripe with The Subs10/10nce: Spoiler At times it doesn't trust the audience to remember the really simple "rules" and finds every way it can to ramrod them down your throat (ex. Several instances of big bold cards of type flashing on the screen reminding you what the rules are as they're being abused, flashbacks during the diner and NYE scenes, etc) The soundtrack btw is also MINT. I've been streaming it with my baby all day instead of that godawful Katy Perry alberm. @SitarHero @Walk_Away21 @TalkThatRihanna @lillavend3r Edited September 21 by Reverse Warholian 1 1 1

EnigmaticAndroid Posted September 21 Posted September 21 I needed to share this somewhere and it's not totally on topic, but I was going through some LB reviews of The Substance and one of them left a totally earnest "vegan alert" for the film and it's so "Vegan alert: - Burger dropped - Fly struggling in a glass of wine - Eggs frying - Whipped cream - Eggs beaten furiously" 3
