Just watched The Substance, such an over rated piece of garbage. I was expecting the Fly or The Thing but there is literally no story attached to the film, just a structure to hold the body horror aspect. Great visuals, really well shot but quite literally all it is and since there is no story or characterization, you have fuck all empathy for the character and it looses all sense of horror in the process. I think this might be the first in the genre where I didn't feel a tad bit squeamish cause it's so blatantly obvious that it's all fake because the whole point of the film is about fake beauty, fake sets, fake sense of reality and it does not work at all. Absolute pretentious nonsense.
