The Substance by Coralie Fargeat
Gosh, such a weird movie! Revenge, the debut feature film of Coralie Fargeat (The Substance is her second one) was such a mediocre action/gore flick that I decided not to post anything about it here a few years ago.
This time, I was utterly tempted to watch The Substance after Demi Moore’s heartfelt speech at the Golden Globes, and the movie indeed began magically (just minor spoilers ahead, eh), all that David Cronenberg’s atmosphere of perversity, eXistenz inspired body ports, a tale of deformity … yet the last 30 minutes of it, god gracious, why did she dumped all that beauty into a waste bin and basically reshot a potpourri of Peter Jackson’s Brain Dead, Brian Yuzna’s The Society, and ended that with what could be one of the biggest Troma Films of all times, Lloyd Kaufman should be proud.
Like Icarus, it rises high into the skies, the wax melts, so it plunges into gooey mud and shite. Disillusioned. The film definitely deserved a (much) better ending.
