The time has finally come for Demi Moore, thanks to a body horror movie satire that became an unexpected awards-season favorite. The Substance proves that horror can still break through with voters known for leaning towards more prestigious fare, racking up a total of five 2025 Oscar nominations, including Moore, who earned her first-ever Oscar nod for Best Actress.
The actress, whose career spans 45 years, numerous beloved films, and several box office hits, was one of five names nominated for Best Actress this morning. The Ghost star is competing against Mikey Madison for Anora, Cynthia Erivo for Wicked, Karla Sofía Gascón for Emilia Pérez, and Fernanda Torres for I'm Still Here. While this could still very much be a wide-open race, many believe that the win comes down to Moore (who is riding the wave of a big comeback) and Madison (the young actress who is having a true A Star Is Born moment).

The Substance has received critical acclaim after its premiere. The body horror has received several nominations at big awards, and it's expected to gain some potential Academy Awards nominations. Still, the film was physically draining for one of its lead stars.

The actress received several award nominations for Best Supporting Actress for the role, including Critics' Choice Awards and the Golden Globes. However, her involvement came with some big sacrifices.

Quick Links 'Helter Skelter' Tackles Obsessions with Beauty 'Helter Skelter' Is an Underappreciated Masterpiece Why Fans of 'The Substance' Need to Watch 'Helter Skelter'
The mere mention of Japanese body horror will likely have fans of Tetsuo: The Iron Man's ears perking up. Yet, Japan has been known to thrive in the genre, from movie series like Tomie to modern cult classics like Meatball Machine. One that shines above them all and, dare we say, is even comparable to Shinya Tsukamoto's quintessential film is Mika Ninagawa's Helter Skelter.
While mainly flying under the radar, with distribution and lack of availability on the major streaming platforms, Helter Skelter is a masterpiece worth tracking down or subscribing to one of the smaller platforms that host the feature film.

Have you ever dreamt of a better version of the Oscars… or at least one more open-minded to horror? That might actually be the case this year if the Golden Globes are any indication. Coralie Fargeat’s instant body-horror classic, The Substance, has already proved to be one of the biggest sleeper hits of fall 2024, and its buzz only seems to have grown since then.

The Substance, directed by Coralie Fargeat, tears into the sexist expectations of the entertainment industry, specifically Hollywood, while delivering a terrifyingly nasty body-horror experience. It surprised absolutely no one, then, when its two stars, Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, paid homage to the movie while presenting an award at last night's Golden Globes. The Golden Globes are a glitzy, booze, and food-filled night celebrating the best of last year's film and TV offerings. While The Substance was nominated in several categories, the pair couldn't help but make the most of the opportunity to reprise their roles from the film while presenting the Best Television Male Actor award.
When Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley took to the stage to present the award, Moore immediately turned to her co-star and asked, "What are you doing here?" Moore plays failing actress Elisabeth Sparkle in The Substance. To rejuvenate her career, she takes a...

The 2025 Golden Globes were a landmark moment for underappreciated actors finally getting the recognition they deserve. FX's Shogun won several major awards, while Colin Farrell took home Best Actor in a Limited Series - Drama for his performance in The Penguin. But the true hero of the night was Demi Moore, who won her first major acting award in 30 years for her incredible performance in The Substance.
Demi Moore won Best Female Actor - Motion Picture - Musical/Comedy (which really rolls off the tongue) for her performance in Mubi's sensational horror movie The Substance. While the film will likely cause some debate about its categorization as a musical/comedy, Moore's award was well-deserved. "I'm just in shock right now," the actress said in her acceptance speech. During the speech, Moore reflected on her long acting career, and the lack of Oscar statuettes and Golden Globes that came from it.

Body horror is an interesting subgenre. It tends to butt up against other subgenres like sci-fi horror, werewolf movies, or creature features. However, it's distinct because it is often grotesque and brutal, with scenes depicting harm to the body that make the skin crawl.
Movies that offer the purest form of body horror make the list of the best of all time. These films push human anatomy to its limits, bringing the horror from the inside out where it can't be escaped. Sometimes these movies are hard to watch, and no matter what, they're beyond terrifying.
The Substance Is a Recent Body Horror With Staying Power Released 2024

Anton will launch the upcoming gothic horror at next week's American Film Market. Qualley has multiple roles lined up but, following the acclaim and Oscar buzz around The Substance, going back to horror is a win.

There is a signature moment in Coralie Fargeat's satirical body horror film, The Substance, where star Demi Moore is presented at her most vulnerable. Playing an aging actress who is being put out to pasture by the higher-ups of her aerobics TV show, she is preparing to go out on a date after having already used the black market drug that literally makes a younger version of herself come out of her body. At this point, Elisabeth Sparkle has reverted to her original self. As she prepares to get ready, looking beautiful by anyone's standards, she heads to the door to leave but immediately second-guesses herself and heads back to the bathroom to apply more makeup and add more to her outfit.

The Substance producer Eric Fellner reveals that he didn't exactly know the surprising genre film starring Demi Moore was a "full-on" horror movie with plenty of gore. While he most likely read the script before greenlighting the film, chances are that director Coralie Fargeat kept a few details to herself.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Fellner sat with Tim Bevan at an event at the BFI London Film Festival, where they spoke about The Substance, which was produced by Working Title. One of the most important British studios in TV and film production, Working Title, has produced films like Shaun of the Dead, as well as rom-coms like Notting Hill and Love Actually. The Substance joins their noteworthy catalog of genre films, but Fellner says they didn't exactly know that the film would break some rules and be unlike anything we've ever seen from them in the past.

French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat's newest film, The Substance, has been the topic of numerous discussions online for being the most shocking (and disgusting) movie of the year. While it is both surprising and at times gross, the main reason it has gained so much traction is because of the not-so-subtle commentary on society's unsustainable beauty standards, specifically toward women. The film takes jabs at Hollywood's obsession with youth and beauty concerning women, but it also talks about society's unhealthy relationship with women's youth and beauty.
The body horror film follows a faded Oscar-winning actress named Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) who is fired from her decades-long stint leading an exercise show on the morning of her 50th birthday. After getting into a terrible car accident while watching her billboard be taken down, the downtrodden former starlet decides to try something called The Substance, which supposedly creates a better version of the user.

Warning: Spoilers follow for The SubstanceJust over a week into its release, its already clear that The Substance is destined to go down as one of 2024s most talked about films. And the hype is completely justified. Director Coralie Fargeat has made an utter powder keg of a movie, ruthlessly satirizing female objectification and ageism in the entertainment industry while expertly blending body horror with high camp. On top of that, it features career-best performances from Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, both of whom deserve Oscar consideration (despite the Academys notorious stigma against horror).
That being said, The Substance is absolutely not for the faint of heart. Its also not advised to eat before or while watching, as the film is one of the grisliest in recent memory, featuring some of the most viscerally sickening body horror since David Cronenbergs The Fly. The last 15 minutes in particular arguably push the R-rating to its limit,...

The Substance is the newest body horror to hit theaters, and it is a brilliantly scathing review of Hollywood beauty standards. Directed by Coralie Fargeat, The Substance fits within her typical style of creating worlds that are recognizable, yet detached from reality. The film, which was the result of a joint venture between production companies in France, the United Kingdom, and the United States, originally premiered in May this year, before gaining theatrical release on September 20th.
Starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, The Substance follows a fading celebrity who uses a black-market drug in hopes of creating a younger, more beautiful version of herself. Giving into the pressures of aging, and being pushed out of the television industry, The Substance acts as a commentary on the monstrous side of giving in to societal standards. The ending of The Substance is bonkers, bloody, and beautiful, but what does it mean?...

Demi Moore returns in a significant way in 2024, making watching The Substance in theaters or on streaming an exciting prospect. As one of the biggest actresses of the 1990s, Demi Moore was expected to remain a substantial star for years to come. But after a series of underperforming titles, she slowed down her acting career, making arthouse films like The Substance one of the opportunities to still see her in front of the camera. The 2024 film is a body horror tale from director Coralie Fargeat and has earned Moore high praise for her performance.
The Substance stars Demi Moore as Elisabeth Sparkle, the star of a popular aerobics show who is fired on her 50th birthday and proceeds to create a younger version of herself known as Sue (Margaret Qualley).

The Killer was released in 1989, and although rumors of an American remake were discussed for years, it would be a while before it was finally released. The 2024 Peacock release falls short of capturing the original film's palpable action and character connections. The updated The Killer fails to replicate the chemistry and emotional depth of the original, proving the remake is a misstep.
Hong Kong-based film director John Woo displays a masterclass in both action and emotional storytelling through his 1989 thriller The Killer. Due to its overwhelming success, an American remake was slowly coming to fruition in 1992. However, due to thematic misconceptions, script rewrites, and scheduling conflicts, audiences had to sit tight and wait another 32 years. Can you believe it?

The film boasts a stellar cast, captivating plot, and exciting action sequences that culminate in a thrilling final showdown. While the central premise of Zee's moral code may raise some questions, the overall experience is entertaining and well worth a watch.
The Killer is an exciting action flick starring Nathalie Emmanuel as Zee, a skilled assassin with a strict moral code that gets her into trouble. The movie is actually a remake of director John Woo's 1989 hit film of the same name.

John Woo’s Hollywood remake of his 1989 Heroic Bloodshed masterpiece The Killer, after languishing in development hell for almost as long as the original has existed, at long last sees the light of day. Relocating the setting from Hong Kong to Paris, Woo otherwise sticks to the original story, in which a contract killer, Zee (Nathalie Emmanuel), inadvertently blinds bystander Jenn (Diana Silvers) during a hit, and her refusal to murder the woman to tie up loose ends ultimately brings her into an unlikely alliance with a noble cop, Sey (Omar Sy).
Woo wastes little time showcasing his visual signatures, stuffing the first few minutes of The Killer, depicting Zee inside a church, with gliding tracking shots and low-angle compositions that immediately paint Zee and Sey as heroic. Oh, and there are doves—or, at least, one dove and two pigeons. The action also comes early and often, and Woo still delivers it with panache.

It has been too long since Demi Moore has had a role worthy of her talents or made headlines outside of stories about Bruce Willis’ health and G.I. Jane jokes. But now that body horror movie The Substance is making its waves at the Cannes Film Festival, Demi Moore is getting – along with the latest season of Feud – some overdue recognition once more.
Speaking with IndieWire, Demi Moore seemed well aware that this was just the sort of character that can show what she has inside of her. “What I love is this was a rich, complex, demanding role that gave me an opportunity to really push myself outside of my comfort zone, and in the end to feel like I explored and grew not only as an actor, but as a person.”
So, what does Demi Moore hope comes of The Substance as far as where her career is headed?...

Cannes Film Festival went apeshit for the jaw-dropping, nauseating, defiant, hilarious “The Substance” — a body horror thriller from French director Coralie Forgeat starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley — on Sunday night with an 11-minute standing ovation.
It’s the tale of a once-great actress (Moore) whose certain age has relegated her to a Jane Fonda-style fitness show. When she’s fired, she is offered a trial of the medical treatment the film is named for. It promises a younger, better version of herself through a cell replicating process.
Moore takes a leap of faith and winds up on the bathroom floor, spine split open like a Christmas ham, when this new version — played by Qualley — comes slithering out of her back. Young, supple and brimming with possibilities, the two characters are allowed to coexist with one important caveat: they must trade one week on, one week off in each body.
