Currently available on Digital, The Substance will change your life on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on January 21 via Mubi.
Written and directed by Coralie Fargeat (Revenge), the satirical body horror movie stars Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid.
A making-of featurette is included as a special feature. The 4K edition is presented in Dolby Vision with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and 2.0 sound.
In the film, “Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime, is suddenly fired from her fitness TV show. She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: The Substance. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, 20-somthing Sue.”
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “Fargeat helms with assured confidence, delivering a tactile visual feast for the senses. Considering just how insane the horror gets, complete with a protracted finale that more than earns the robust runtime, well, here’s to hoping it doesn’t take Fargeat quite so long to release her next horror manifesto. The Substance is a campy body horror revelation.”
The Substance won Best Screenplay at Cannes, is nominated for five Golden Globe awards, and is on the Academy Award short list for Makeup and Hairstyling.
The film also ranked highly on Bloody Disgusting’s Best Horror Movies of 2024, Best Horror Movie Kills of 2024, and Best Horror Movie Performances of 2024.
