This is an amazing second feature from the Director of Revenge. This is an absolutely insane Cronenberg-esque body horror where an ageing star can "reverse" the effects of age by using a black market drug called the Substance. Demi Moore and Dennis Quaid give stellar performances at the top of their game. There are a number of complications for the lead aa she takes the drug. The film moves along at a fair pace to keep you intrigued during it's two hour plus runtime. The film is visually stunning with a climax which is not easily forgotton. The theme of double standards of beauty rubs throughout. Highly recommended.
