The Substance

A fading celebrity, pushed aside as she grows older, turns to a black-market drug that can create a younger, enhanced version of herself. The offer promises a chance to reclaim attention, but balancing two versions of one life brings mounting pressure and conflict.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like provocative horror that pairs a critique of beauty standards with grotesque imagery and dark humor; Not for you if graphic body horror or an increasingly chaotic story is a deal-breaker.
