“The Substance” - Bad Film Review
Harvey: “Pretty girls should always smile!”

‘Old’ woman takes drug,
Becomes hot for seven days,
Bleeds more than Carrie.

Quick note: This is a bad/inappropriate review of a fantastically revolting film - a social satire, body-horror. I don’t usually like gore, but rated this one very highly. It’s a trip! I basically just thought of the first thing that popped into my head, and given the sexist, image obsessed themes of the film, the above language felt appropriate. There is also references in “The Substance” to popular movies including “Carrie”.

I just watched this atrocity last nite with my mom and we are both traumatized for life! Lol it was off the chain! LOL I didn't know whether to laugh or cry throughout! It was definitely entertaining yet utterly disgusting! I could barely stomach the last 15 minutes! Lol I rock with the moral though! On a bright note I enjoyed your original review though! 😁
Want to see it. Will need to wait til its on streaming. We are planning on seeing Heretic and Nightbitch though. Loved this take on it!
lovely poem
I haven’t heard of this one, but I’ll let your review be all I ever see of it! 😂
Never heard of it.... I trust your review and will that be something you can enjoy!! 😅
Angie is right about this one, but it could teach a lesson to whomever wants to do this to themselves.
Sounds hideous!😵… No way am I watching the trailer… Dharrsheena’s on her own!😵💫
I neeeeeed to watch this!! I'm craving for blood!!
Ugh. Sounds awful. I can't do gore, unless it's watching real-life operations and then I find it fascinating. Great review though. Is that Demi Moore?
Never seen it, never will. Thanks for the warning.
Happy to see you back G! Your review has me intrigued! I've got to check this one out! Great job my friend! 😁
I was going to see it but if it has too much gore and body horror I’m not sure I’ll have a stomach for it.
