Harvey: “Pretty girls should always smile!”

Demi Moore in “The Substance”

‘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”.
