Demi Moore gives a career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister fired from her fitness TV show by studio head Harvey. She is drawn to the THE SUBSTANCE. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn as the gorgeous, Sue.

5 Stars For Movie, 3 For Order
The movie is amazing, one of the most original, visceral and squirm-inducing body horror films I'll ever watch with an incredible performance by Demi Moore. I could write a three page, single spaced, double-sided essay about why I love this movie but it's best to not spoil all the insanity this movie has in store. However I ordered a 4K bluray combo and only received the regular bluray so I had to return it and find a physical copy elsewhere so as to not have my trust broken again. But this movie is 1000% worth your money in any format.

Absolutely fantastic!
I got this movie and I love quirky weird horror movies. My favorite kind of horror movies are the disturbing ones . This one was right up my alley. It's extremely gory, enough to make your stomach turn, and has tons of nudity. The acting in this is incredible both from Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley and how much of an a hole of Dennis Quaid's acting as well. It is supposed to be a gory horror movie to make you queasy, but I actually saw it as a dark comedy kind of. I just found it humorous because of the narcissism of what a Top Model could be like, not to say that all models are narcissists, but this definitely shows ugly side of it. The 4K quality on this movie is incredible (I believe it is presented in Dolby vision) even on a crappy second gen 4K TV. The sound is really nice, I believe it's DTS-HD for DTS:X, I'm not 100% sure. So I'm extremely happy that I bought this and I would definitely watch it several times in the future.

A fun ride!
This was a great movie that takes you on a ride towards madness. The only reason I didn't give it a fifth star was because I felt the ending was way too over the top with the writers using too much symbolism, which then became inconsistent with the film's internal logic. Aside from that, it's excellent horror that I'll be sure to watch again.

Favorite film of last year
I really enjoyed the substance. It was my favorite film of last year and I highly recommend it to all who like a little bit ago like a little bit of drama like a little bit of everything wrapped into one movie. This is a great film and I’ve watched it numerous times since purchasing it and I have recommended to others. Demi Moore is fabulous as is Margaret Qualey.

Its Got Everything
I loved this movie. Its got everything, good acting, boobs, monsters, blood, and great sound. My wife liked the beginning but had to look away at the end most of the time. I bought this and had no idea what the movie was. What a great surprise.

Excellent movie. Not for the faint at heart though
This has easily become one of my all time favorite movies. It has a great story line and the visual effects are stunning. In an uncomfortable way. And the actual blu ray itself was brand new ans plays great.
