In Coralie Fargeat's brand new feminist scary film The Substance, harmful popular charm specifications are actually the real creatures. They (female objectification, the fingertip of "the old," the spread of a business built on physical body adjustment) nourish a beast of a pattern that leads Demi Moore's fading TV individual character Elisabeth Shimmer to find an underground market procedure contacted The Substance that vows to create her additional lovely. And also in doing this, she undertakes a creature-feature-like change herself.
