The Substance [4K UHD]

Demi Moore is incredible ! The story line pulls you in, & you can't turn away. The last 10 minutes were over the top, but the final scene says it all. Highly recommended !

Frightening and truly scary. Great special effects with a storyline about an aging beauty willing to do anything to attain her youthful self with twisted and horrific consequences. I couldn’t interrupt viewing and sat through it at one sitting

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.

This movie was a lot of fun. It was just different enough to be very entertaining. A little gruesome at times, too.

The Substance is easily one of — if not number one of — my favorite films of 2024. Like most horror movies, it uses dark context to illuminate some truths about the world around us. If you’re purchasing this movie, it’s likely you are already a fan. To that end, this is a slightly disappointing disc. While I am glad I have a copy of this movie in my hands, I certainly wish MUBI would have put a little more thought and time into special features. The studio released a 30 minute long behind-the-scenes featurette to YouTube, but that is not saved for posterity here. Technically, a great disc, but hopefully will get the special edition treatment with more love somewhere down the road.

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.

I bought this after seeing previews over the last year. It is an awesome movie though it is a bit gory at the end. I can see why Demi Moore won so many awards for this film. Highly recommended!

Awful overall. The first third of the move is actually well done and engaging. The middle third is rather lackluster. The final third is a seemingly never ending stream of tacky and poorly done gore. Honestly, they could have ended the movie at the 2/3 mark and called it good. Less would have been more. As it was another reviewer here said they threw the movie away rather than keep it in their collection. I understand the sentiment. Don’t buy. If someone gives it to you, think twice.

Llega bien cuidado y con un slipcover de buena calidad. La imagen se visualiza muy bien, con colores intensos y brillo adecuado. El audio en inglés DTS-HD MA 5.1 es de buena calidad, sin distorsión o ruido de fondo. También trae español latino Dolby Digital 2.0 y subtítulos en ambos idiomas y más.

This is my second viewing of this cinematic masterpiece of a horror film that paid homage to multiple horror movies in the last decade! This is a mixed bag of many classic horror genres. The acting performances are strong coming from Demi Moore and this could probably be her magnum opus. Margret Qualley was a dynamite and her intense performance is electrifying! The final act was a little over the top but that was the point to make the audience sick with disgust! This a movie that will stick with you for a long time! Vanity insanity! This movie comprises beautiful eye candy scenes and ugly horrifying scenes that will last you a long time! This set came with barebone extras. Only one 5 minutes featurette. There are 30 minutes of making of the film exist in the wild and is free to watch on YouTube. That could have been included in the set along with interviews that too existed but not included in the set! For the price alone. We are getting just the film with zero barebone extras… A little disappointed…

Adorei. Vem com legendas em português.

Buena edición e incluye subtitulos en español para el que le interese. No hay mucho que decir sobre la trama que no se haya dicho ya. Es una película bastante buena y vale la pena incluirla en la colección. Tiene pocos extras pero muchas opciones de subtítulos.

The Substance is a razor-sharp, gloriously grotesque experience that hits like a syringe full of cinematic adrenaline. As a longtime fan of 80s cult horror, I was floored by how perfectly this film captures the spirit of the genre—while injecting a fresh dose of savage social commentary. Visually, it's stunning—slick practical effects and grimy retro aesthetics. But beneath the body horror is a biting satire about beauty, fame, and the cost of reinvention. It skewers societal expectations without ever losing its nasty sense of fun. The Blu-ray transfer is excellent: crisp, vibrant, and packed with detail that really does justice to the film’s tactile, often intense visuals. If you appreciate clever genre filmmaking with something to say—and you're not afraid to squirm—this belongs in your collection. Absolutely one of the boldest and most memorable horror films in years. A future cult classic in the making.
