I’m a little in love with Demi Moore lately so I was so excited to finally watch The Substance that I have been hearing so much about. Hahaha joke’s on me.
Sometimes I think writers have an especially detailed dream and then this kind of shit erupts. When I say I had no idea this is how this was going to play out – let me just capitalize NO IDEA. I thought it was more about aging in Hollywood and securing a magic pill or something. I mean I get the theme, we don’t like to age, the younger the better, you can’t market a fifty year old etc etc. But, I don’t know – this just is so weird.
I’ll be honest I didn’t like the way it makes my spine feel. Like the wrong kind of chills from deep inside. I spent the last twenty minutes wishing this would end. I couldn’t stop hearing the sloshing and movement of skin and organs. It was as if my ears were turned inside out and I could hear what was going on inside my body.
I guess this is what horror films do – magnify your fears. I’m afraid it’s not for me. I still love Demi though. She did great.
