This trailer doesn't do it any justice. You have no idea. It is one of the most insane movies I've ever watched in my 32 years of living. Literally walked out of theater and sat down on a bench in the lobby for 15 minutes speechless.
I feel this trailer does it every justice. Didn't watch it before watching the movie because I always feel trailers are spoilers. To trick you into coming to the cinema. This trailer however, is pretty genius.
So TRUE! I had a sh*t eating grin or was laughing during those 20 minutes, others were silent, some screaming at shocking moments. Probably the most fun I've had with myself in movie theaters since .... well.... forever. Going again tonight (do the last showing before you go to bed LOL)
A lot of people just started nervously giggling at insanely graphic moments...and I was one of them lol But at the same time those scenes can also be so insanely sad and disturbing they make you cringe or avert your eyes.
I saw the film last night and loved it so much that I just saw it a second time. The audience was much more animated, and the girl next to me yelled “WHAT THE FUCK?” at the big reveal. It was amazing.
Without spoiling anything, I just want to say that the acoustics and soundplay of this movie is next level. I don't think I have ever been affected by any movies this much on my auditory faculties. It's insane.
I had to sit with my fingers in my ears so much, the crunching squelching noises were literally SOOO visceral, it was an assault on all of your senses!
"Invite your friends and family" lol my mother would geniunely be so angry if I suggested she watch this. This is definitely a movie that only horror fans will like. It's too much for probably like 50% of the population.
This movie taught me to be grateful and happy with what i have. To not compare yourself with others and be thankful with whatever you have and make the most out of it 🙂
Maybe this is a movie I need to see then because I am 49 and struggling to accept it because I still feel 20 and am told I look 10+ years younger. I'm not considering having work done but I just am struggling with the number of my age because I look in the mirror and still see my young adult self.
@@Gensei-Kihara i am 30 and hey if your 37 or 50 it doesnt matter. You are Still young and can work on your self esteem by working out and maybe some self hobbies
You know, kind of like how certain Nicolas Cage movies feel like they resonate with his past, or Brendan Fraser in The Whale, or last year certain directors released movies that basically are self commentaries about themselves, I feel like this movie is basically the most Demi Moore movie to come out. Which I’m totally into seeing.
Just saw this movie in the theatres. The audience was quiet in the first half, nobody making a whisper. By the end of the second half, nobody could keep it together. Everyone laughing (because there's no other way to react) gasping, exclaiming, clutching the arm rests and headrests. This film is a goddamn rollercoaster. Very simple linear storytelling that holds your attention through the entire runtime. Highly recommend.
Is it as small as Sanctuary, or does it open up a bit? I remember wanting to see that at a cinema. It didn't come. I watched it at home. I definitely did not need to see that at a cinema. I'm hoping this is a little larger like Raw or late Cronenberg.
@@kazman_6899 you definitely need to see this in a movie theater, the sound design (and the techno soundtrack) is incredible. I didn’t see Sanctuary so I can’t compare them but The substance is really big, especially in his final part when it’s gore af (and also very funny, what a carnage!). Can’t wait to rewatch it!
I've seen The Substance a few days ago here in Amsterdam, a month before its official release. I have seen thousands of (body) horror films and never ever seen anything like this. Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley are amazing. You are in for a ride.
First of, what? How did you manage that. I really admire Margaret's acting choices. She so freaking talented and is only getting started. For all the problems I have with Demi's lifelong body obsession I have always enjoyed her presence and talent in any film.
Just saw this with my parents. We had the whole theater to ourselves to scream at the disturbance! An incredible film that highlights many important lessons for this modern generation. Remember you are one. Respect the balance
My girlfriend and I saw it last weekend. When she saw the trailer, she was very hesitant to check it out. But after the movie, she enjoyed it. This was one of the few times she never looked at her watch. She was that engaged and had no idea the movie was nearly 2-1/2 hours. And I say it's one of the best films of the year. If Demi and Margaret aren't nominated for major awards, I'll be shocked.
Yep, sadly its not what beauty industry in America gave up on , they will push through celebrity (look at kardashian family) to influence people that sadly follow their idol bli ndly
If you're fortunate enough to have already seen it at cannes or wherever, please don't spoil it for us who haven't seen it yet! It's very rare that a movie DOESN'T reveal its best elements and twists in the trailer. Let's encourage that!

Thankfully I went in mostly blind, just watched the trailer. What a wild ride, I loved it. Unhinged, disturbing, hilarious, revolting, all in one great package.
This is one of the best film trailers in a long while. Disturbing and unsettling from the first seconds. Wanted to go in blind, now want to see it even more!

Nothing prepared me for this movie. Watched this trailer for 20s, turned it off, went to the movies. Blown Fuking away. The most batshit insane movie I’ve ever seen. Had to look away from screens multiple times…

@@BikeStuffPDX, it’s interesting considering how if he hadn’t had passed away, Ray Liotta was originally supposed to take his role. But I think Quaid actually will bring something new.
I met him in a Dutch coffeeshop (The Hague) and spent a couple of hours talking to him. But I didn't recognise him. He said he was a fisherman, fished half a year took half a year off. He drank like a fish. When I saw the final season of Fortitude (which timing-wise was likely a reason he was in Europe) I realised who he was! LOL.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Demi! You need stay working with indie directors over the mainstream. You wont be paid as well but you don't need the money and the parts will be so much better for you now! You still have fans and this is the kind of thing that will make us go "HOLY SHIT....Demi Moore was freaking AMAZING!"
Never have I left a theatre whereEVERYONE had a strong VERBAL reaction, I mean, disgust, laughter, looking away, embracing it in awe, shock, confusion. etc. I LOVED IT!!!!
I recently saw this movie and it is spectacular. Demi Moore is brilliant in it and Margaret Qualley also excellent. What I loved about the film were the deeper meanings and lessons within it. That as women (in particular) the 'younger version' of ourselves beats up our older self for not being good enough. That we must maintain that youth or we are deemed unworthy, useless and on the scrap heap of life. There are some really poignant and moving moments in it where Elizabeth is told she is still beautiful, but her own self-hatred won't allow herself to believe it. This isn't just a gore fest, this is a perceptive film on aging, self-esteem, the way we punish ourselves as women and how society perceives the older woman. WATCH IT. You will not be disappointed. Oh, and by the way. Demi Moore deserves an Oscar for this film.
Terrific review & thanks! At 49 I'm going through a hard time with depression and anxiety due to still feeling 20, being told I look like I'm in my 30's, but hating the NUMBER of my age. Maybe watching this will help me
Demi Moore is incredible in it. For someone who has built a career on her looks over her acting talent - let's be honest - she dug her teeth into this role and went all-in on the craziness, and it's utterly magnetic to watch her on this emotional rollercoaster of a movie. She absolutely deserves an Oscar nod for it.
And the winner of the 2024 Oscar for: Best Screenplay Best Director Best Editing Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role Best Sound Design Best Special Effects And Best Cinematography Goes to: The Substance. 🙌
The Substance will be lucky to get a Make Up and Hairstyling nomination and maybe, possibly a Best Actress nomination. Wins are waaay beyond its scope.
I agree except for the 'Best Screenplay' nod. I think the cinematography, production design, costume design, music and sound design, editing and of course acting was FLAWLESS (except for dennis quaid's over the top one dimensional performace). If you examine the narrative closely it very much is a variation on the Robert Louis Stevenson story (that has been done to death) - The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This is the essential framework that The Substance's narrative is built upon. It does a fairly good job until we get to the mutation part in the latter half of the film. Then the narrative goes balls to the wall in extreme gore for the sake of pushing it to its limits and beyond. It almost seems like the writers thought 'Well we are doing the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' story again so might as well make it as different as possible. Its dissappointing, as this could have been a very GOOD interpretation of that classic story but the excessive horror and gore drops in into the 80s/90s horror genre unfortunately.
Saw it yesterday. Was so hyped for this movie and boy did it not disappoint! My jaw dropped at one point. Was kind of lost for words after the film ended and my other friend said to me he was thinking throughout the movie “wtf am I watching”. Definitely go see it at the movies!
AGREE! Most trailers take everything good from the movie and then you see the movie and there is nothing left to impress. THIS trailer leaves me wanting more.
I have NEVER seen a movie like this. whether you like the movie or not, you will remember it and will need to talk about it afterwards. watching it in a cinema and seeing and hearing people react (from disgust to shock to outright laughter) was amazing.
There should be 2 separate screening options: 1 - respectful viewing, 2 - one that let's me scream because of how shook I am. Of all the movies released this year, this is the one I'm most excited for.
I saw the movie las friday, but man wat a movie. It's still haunts in my mind. What a masterpiece. The filming, acting, music, absurdness, the over the top characters. Wow! For me the most bizarre movie i ever watch of around 30 years going to the cinema. Everybody who's still going to see this movie in the cinema: enjoy!
@@mati.p172 Ye of little faith. Wait & watch. Your comment won’t age well. Moore will pull off what Spacek couldn’t after being nominated for an equally iconoclastic performance in “Carrie”- Demi Moore will most likely win this.
just got home from the theaters and i’ll just say, out of all horror movies with the same plotlines, THIS IS DIFFERENT. I loved the cinematography and pacing, it’s well done and it made the movie a living hell in the end
Yeah, I agree but its ironic that this film seems to judge, demonise and ridicule women for wanting to look young and beautiful. They hypocrisy of Hollywood is staggering!!
@@mariarohmer2374 You can be beautiful AND a good person. Contrary to popular belief (not helped by films like this that demonise and ridicule any woman who wants to stay young and beautiful) the two arent mutually exclusive. People just don't seem to get how much looks impact confidence. No matter how much people want to deny it , its an inescapable truth and no one should be judged for wanting to get work done so they can feel better about themselves. It doesnt make them selfish, despite what many people think
No matter what a woman over 40 or a highly desired woman does, it will be spun in a negative way, especially our appearance because our looks aren't actually about our looks, they're about our domination, consumption, discard and (for high value targets) ultimate destruction. Our aesthetic is merely a vehicle for hopelessly pathological minds to attempt to consume what they think is our power.
It shakes my world! It makes me wanna scream in the theater. It's beyond "plot twisted!". It wakes me up from the feeling of "I'm not good enough!!". It invites me to embrace my existence closer! Big hug for all cast and team! ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Seeing Dennis Quaid eat almost made me lose my appetite for years! Can't wait for the movie! Coralie Fargeat is one filmmaker to watch. After seeing "Revenge," I will watch whatever she does!
Quite possibly one of the best trailers I have seen in a long time and a long side that we have Demi Moore one of hollywoods finest actresses making a comeback so darn spectacular there are already major whispers of oscar nominations. I am already going to see this as many times as humanly possible. This looks like cinema to me. Hallelujah something original
You are the market they target. Simple minded people. You already KNOW youre going to see this as many times possible? HAHAHAHA, its prob gonna suck, you still gonna see it endless times! People are so freakin strange, you being one of them!
@@Ryanyeathatsgood I disagree completely. Nothing about this seemed like Requiem for a Dream to me. More like Men (2022) meets A Serbian Film (2010) without the sexual depravity.
If you think you’ve seen it all than just go watch this film. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life and I say that with the highest respect. This film is phenomenal
I have seen the trailer prob 500 times now. Just saw the movie and watching the trailer again. Sues initial formal introduction was basically an Exstacy trip. So hypnotic and beautiful
lol do know her acting career started by starring in the sleezy and gorey sci fi flick parasite from 1982, its hard one stomach if not seen it, with nasty worm thing.
@@1UpJohn actually she starred in one other horror film the seventh sign, in 1988 it okay film. Other than that nothing else horror except a couple thrillers in 90s but about it. other than that she recently few years starred in horror comedy corporate animals!
Sure, we're living in pretty hellish times, but cinema is giving me LIFE. So many good films to look forward to, with this + Anora at the top of the list
10/10 This film is a work of art. A horror masterpiece. Everything is so well done here. I was floored and I'm still thinking about it. Acting, filmmaking, imagery, themes all perfectly done here. A powerful must see film.
Cinema LIVES! I've been waiting seems forever for something like this to blow my socks off. Is it too long? Believe me, your idea of what time is will be not an issue as the last 25 minutes will destroy all sense of time.
@@krystalharris79only way to attend the Film Cannes Festival is to work in the industry. Then you have tiers: - top people making the product: producers, actors, etc They are invited to the showing of the production they worked on and they get + one invites - press, have free picks of shows, invites only for themselves - distributors, also have free picks of shows, invites only for themselves. You show up at the beginning of the Festival, show your accreditation and pick the shows you plan to attend. If you are late, bad luck. That’s it.
This movie was 110% worth the watch. I was intrigued by the trailer, but nothing can quite prepare you for the experience this film provides. It’s horror in a way that is evocative and unique and BEYOND STRANGE- be prepared for weird with this one! You may not shriek in fear, but you will cringe with discomfort, and if you’re a woman (or lots of men too!) you will definitely relate to some piece of it. That’s all I can say without spoiling anything, just PLEASE give it a watch! Cronenberg would be thrilled ❤
One advice I have is NEVER. Watch this while drunk or on drugs. Beautiful cinematic and sound design is perfect. Though it’s weird af. It teaches a valuable lessons on downfalls of being selfish / prideful.
Went into this movie randomly knowing absolutely nothing about it. Felt like I was watching a campy AAA 80s bodyhorror flick. The visual cues are so direct and visceral. I admire how straight to the point it is. There’s no subliminal context, what you see is what you get. That’s how the best films are enjoyed
Fantastic movie, great acting, will stick with you long after. Reflects the absurdity of beauty standards. Plus, the trailer did its job by not giving anything away with spoilers... Kudos!

This didn't felt like a trailer. It felt like a borderline anxiety attack. (In a good way) EDIT: Just watched the film two weeks ago. For those who want to see it, GO PREPARED. Trust me.
@Ivosferatus, not sure it gives off anything near an anxiety attack. It's not even close, frantic behaviour, obsession and the determination to succeed in a goal is what I was getting from the trailer.
As somebody with anxiety who frequently has panic attacks this is pretty much how it feels like. The music is on point with how you feel during a panic attack.
this movie was bonkers and a true experience, never have i been to a film where it had both people walking out early and people either speechless or laughing at the end saying they want to see it again
I watched it with my Mum at the cinema a few hours ago and we were left absolutely stunned😃. It’s been a while since I saw a totally effed up movie but I love how they portrayed the dangers of beauty standards effects on women☹️
I couldn't believe how good she is in it. I guess I'd never given her much thought as an actress before, but she goes hell for leather in this, it's a hell of a performance.
Watched it 3 times in 3 days. One of the best films ever made. An incredibly disturbing cautionary tale on what happens when you base your entire identity on your looks. Every young woman should watch this film.
Poor Things was extremely disappointing and overrated in my opinion (again just an opinion. This film however amazed and shocked me, 100x more impressed and enjoyed.

Prepare your snacks and drinks, invite your friends and family, wear your florals and go watch this. It's a MUST see
"prepare your snacks" is the worst advice ever..... my popcorn sat in my lap uneaten (as I was having the time of my life)

True
I agree. I still feel disturbed, haven’t eaten meat in a while
Finally a trailer that actually makes the movie look interesting
But it's too long, reveal too much. I was hooked at Demi Moore, already.
Is this not the first trailer? Ik They had the teaser, but I never assume that those will do much except show off some short snippets
And playing some 90s pop song
Many trailers make a movie look interesting. That is the problem. Most of the time, the trailer is better than the actual movie.
I was hooked al ready with the first.
The casting of Moore is genius!!! Given the intense online scrutiny she underwent recently regarding her cosmetic procedures. Love it.

He drank like a fish. When I saw the final season of Fortitude (which timing-wise was likely a reason he was in Europe) I realised who he was! LOL.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Demi! You need stay working with indie directors over the mainstream. You wont be paid as well but you don't need the money and the parts will be so much better for you now! You still have fans and this is the kind of thing that will make us go "HOLY SHIT....Demi Moore was freaking AMAZING!"
How do you know she doesn't need the money? She has a family and a lifestyle.
@@karenphelan6107right exactly what I came to say
Did you see the movie
@@karenphelan6107bc the person commenting is her bank account a big iindie film fan
You are wild and entitled and don't understand art. Which makes you a customer not a fan of storytelling
Never have I left a theatre whereEVERYONE had a strong VERBAL reaction, I mean, disgust, laughter, looking away, embracing it in awe, shock, confusion. etc. I LOVED IT!!!!
I recently saw this movie and it is spectacular. Demi Moore is brilliant in it and Margaret Qualley also excellent. What I loved about the film were the deeper meanings and lessons within it. That as women (in particular) the 'younger version' of ourselves beats up our older self for not being good enough. That we must maintain that youth or we are deemed unworthy, useless and on the scrap heap of life. There are some really poignant and moving moments in it where Elizabeth is told she is still beautiful, but her own self-hatred won't allow herself to believe it. This isn't just a gore fest, this is a perceptive film on aging, self-esteem, the way we punish ourselves as women and how society perceives the older woman. WATCH IT. You will not be disappointed. Oh, and by the way. Demi Moore deserves an Oscar for this film.
Terrific review & thanks! At 49 I'm going through a hard time with depression and anxiety due to still feeling 20, being told I look like I'm in my 30's, but hating the NUMBER of my age. Maybe watching this will help me
Demi Moore is incredible in it. For someone who has built a career on her looks over her acting talent - let's be honest - she dug her teeth into this role and went all-in on the craziness, and it's utterly magnetic to watch her on this emotional rollercoaster of a movie. She absolutely deserves an Oscar nod for it.
I'm 35 and this was the most insane movie I've ever seen. Batshit crazy. I will need days to process this haha
Bro.... 36 here..... HOLY S!
And the winner of the 2024 Oscar for:
Best Screenplay
Best Director
Best Editing
Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role
Best Sound Design
Best Special Effects
And Best Cinematography
Goes to:
The Substance.
🙌
DEMI M O O R E ..... in the f * * * * * G H O U S E ..... people...!!! SHE R O C K S !!!!!!
The Substance will be lucky to get a Make Up and Hairstyling nomination and maybe, possibly a Best Actress nomination. Wins are waaay beyond its scope.
@@VishalKarthik-ds2oh I can only assume you're deaf and blind or simply haven't seen it. the editing alone is masterful
I agree except for the 'Best Screenplay' nod. I think the cinematography, production design, costume design, music and sound design, editing and of course acting was FLAWLESS (except for dennis quaid's over the top one dimensional performace).
If you examine the narrative closely it very much is a variation on the Robert Louis Stevenson story (that has been done to death) - The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
This is the essential framework that The Substance's narrative is built upon. It does a fairly good job until we get to the mutation part in the latter half of the film.
Then the narrative goes balls to the wall in extreme gore for the sake of pushing it to its limits and beyond.
It almost seems like the writers thought 'Well we are doing the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' story again so might as well make it as different as possible.
Its dissappointing, as this could have been a very GOOD interpretation of that classic story but the excessive horror and gore drops in into the 80s/90s horror genre unfortunately.
And oscar for sickest one movie. Which must be avoided always for everyone. Wtf movie is this !
Saw it yesterday. Was so hyped for this movie and boy did it not disappoint! My jaw dropped at one point. Was kind of lost for words after the film ended and my other friend said to me he was thinking throughout the movie “wtf am I watching”. Definitely go see it at the movies!
Do you think I should see it for free because I have a cinema subscription?
This, my dear trailer makers of today, is how a trailer is made.
What do you know about it?
Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one
@nd7 agree!! Too many nonsense trailers out giving away the entire plot!
AGREE! Most trailers take everything good from the movie and then you see the movie and there is nothing left to impress. THIS trailer leaves me wanting more.
@@WhyKnot-lr1kk Yes, . . . and most of them (arseholes & opinions) stink.
Looks boring and like I've seen the whole movie
I have NEVER seen a movie like this. whether you like the movie or not, you will remember it and will need to talk about it afterwards. watching it in a cinema and seeing and hearing people react (from disgust to shock to outright laughter) was amazing.
There should be 2 separate screening options: 1 - respectful viewing, 2 - one that let's me scream because of how shook I am. Of all the movies released this year, this is the one I'm most excited for.
I will scream no matter what haha
cringe. slop sheep
I think the Alamo Drafthouse has alternative screenings where patrons can get more rowdy. Hope you live near one!
Or just be a normal, adult man and contain yourself?
Update: Saw it twice in 2 days. Gonna scream on the 3rd viewing.
Watched it. Y’all aren’t ready.
Good!
@@67italiana Agreed!! Looking forward to it! I love films that challenge my senses. I've seen too many over the years, need stuff that shakes me up.
For what? Disappointing mediocrity?
@@edjackson4389get over yourself.
Drunk driving kills. Please...be safe. Never get behind the wheel while drunk!
I saw the movie las friday, but man wat a movie. It's still haunts in my mind. What a masterpiece. The filming, acting, music, absurdness, the over the top characters. Wow!
For me the most bizarre movie i ever watch of around 30 years going to the cinema. Everybody who's still going to see this movie in the cinema: enjoy!
God, if this doesn't finally get demi moore an oscar nomination, I don't know what will ??
Do you think this movie has any SUBSTANCE
yes the actin oscar deserve
unfortunately genre movies don't get oscar noms
@@anishinaabaeYes but this is a masterpiece!
after she gets an Oscar then what?
Demi Moore is going to win an Oscar for this, I intuit.
i would love to, but Oscar voters don't like genre films
@@mati.p172 Ye of little faith. Wait & watch. Your comment won’t age well. Moore will pull off what Spacek couldn’t after being nominated for an equally iconoclastic performance in “Carrie”- Demi Moore will most likely win this.
@@jonathann5205 so let's get back here on the Oscar nominations morning to find out who was right
@@mati.p172 You’re on bro 😂
@@jonathann5205 well let’s wait for her to get nominated first.
just got home from the theaters and i’ll just say, out of all horror movies with the same plotlines, THIS IS DIFFERENT. I loved the cinematography and pacing, it’s well done and it made the movie a living hell in the end
Demi is 61 and looks amazing! I don’t give a damn what she’s done, whatever it is, it’s working.
Why do looks matter so much to you? What about her as a person?
It’s called plastic surgery
Yeah, I agree but its ironic that this film seems to judge, demonise and ridicule women for wanting to look young and beautiful. They hypocrisy of Hollywood is staggering!!
@@mariarohmer2374 You can be beautiful AND a good person. Contrary to popular belief (not helped by films like this that demonise and ridicule any woman who wants to stay young and beautiful) the two arent mutually exclusive. People just don't seem to get how much looks impact confidence. No matter how much people want to deny it , its an inescapable truth and no one should be judged for wanting to get work done so they can feel better about themselves. It doesnt make them selfish, despite what many people think
No matter what a woman over 40 or a highly desired woman does, it will be spun in a negative way, especially our appearance because our looks aren't actually about our looks, they're about our domination, consumption, discard and (for high value targets) ultimate destruction. Our aesthetic is merely a vehicle for hopelessly pathological minds to attempt to consume what they think is our power.
God I love Demi Moore. Glad she is back.
It shakes my world! It makes me wanna scream in the theater. It's beyond "plot twisted!". It wakes me up from the feeling of "I'm not good enough!!". It invites me to embrace my existence closer! Big hug for all cast and team! ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Seeing Dennis Quaid eat almost made me lose my appetite for years! Can't wait for the movie! Coralie Fargeat is one filmmaker to watch. After seeing "Revenge," I will watch whatever she does!
Dennis Squad 😂
Quite possibly one of the best trailers I have seen in a long time and a long side that we have Demi Moore one of hollywoods finest actresses making a comeback so darn spectacular there are already major whispers of oscar nominations. I am already going to see this as many times as humanly possible. This looks like cinema to me. Hallelujah something original
ok
Good rule of thumb. Never has a true masterpiece had to proclaim itself a masterpiece in the trailer 😉
You are the market they target. Simple minded people. You already KNOW youre going to see this as many times possible? HAHAHAHA, its prob gonna suck, you still gonna see it endless times! People are so freakin strange, you being one of them!
ewwwwwwwwww
Wildest movie I've seen for about 5 or 6 years without question. 10/10. Watch it if you haven't.
I was not prepared for what I saw. Requiem for a Dream meets Dead Alive. It was incredible.
Thank you! I can't believe you're the first person I've seen mention Requiem for a Dream vibes.
Lol I was actually thinking that while watching it this morning.
What? You really compare Requiem for a dream with that TRASH?
@@Ryanyeathatsgood I disagree completely. Nothing about this seemed like Requiem for a Dream to me.
More like Men (2022) meets A Serbian Film (2010) without the sexual depravity.
Requiem for a dream meet The Fly is what i heard someone else say :)
This is like Black Swan/Perfect Blue meets Cronenberg in his prime meets a sprinkle of Limitless and I'm HERE FOR IT!!!
If you think you’ve seen it all than just go watch this film. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life and I say that with the highest respect. This film is phenomenal
if i took the substance i would become a smaller shed -SH
Is this scary? Like there jumpscares or I heard it’s kinda gross
I literally can’t stop thinking about this movie! I keep rewatching the trailer 😅😂
I have seen the trailer prob 500 times now. Just saw the movie and watching the trailer again. Sues initial formal introduction was basically an Exstacy trip. So hypnotic and beautiful
dude same. why!???
It’s incredible. Get ready folks!
Incredible TRASH 🤣
Just saw this movie last night and it was phenomenal!
Saw it yesterday in Amsterdam, absolutely enjoyed it, some sort of a masterpiece when you enjoy the genre.
Was there as well, truly a treat for body horror fans
@@ffpaul35 absolutely, i felt really sucked into it.
Waarom voelt het alsof er talloze films bestaan over dit onderwerp? Is een beetje saai aan het worden eerlijk gezegd
@@talhachaudhry2387 dan kijk je hem toch niet.
@@andrepannekoek7071 Mijn punt is dat je niet zo snel het een meesterwerk moet gaan noemen, voornamelijk omdat dit niet al te origineel is
Welcome back to the outstanding Demi Moore, actress extraordinaire. How you have been missed by movie aficionados around the world.
and Quaid! what a dude...did yu see him on Rogan...superb!
YES!! She's amazing!! I have been missing her work her magic onscreen.
Just left the theater moments ago. This film will leave you thinking...!! Demi is amazing!! And, as some have posted, the sound is incredible!! 😮😮😮
Demi Moore screaming holy shit
lol do know her acting career started by starring in the sleezy and gorey sci fi flick parasite from 1982, its hard one stomach if not seen it, with nasty worm thing.
@@viewtifuljoe66 Come to think of it, I don't believe she's done another horror movie since Parasite.
@@1UpJohn actually she starred in one other horror film the seventh sign, in 1988 it okay film. Other than that nothing else horror except a couple thrillers in 90s but about it.
other than that she recently few years starred in horror comedy corporate animals!
Now I fully understand Bruce Willis
@@independent4762 Do you have any idea how she is?? Does Carol Burnett make your little pp stand to attention too??
This film has an energy... it cannot be described. VERY excited to see it on the biggest possible screen! 😍
DON'T waste your time and money like i did 🙏
Go watch it. It was amazing
One of the craziest movies I have ever seen in my entire life. It will leave you speechless after you watch it.
Demi Moore is going to slay this role. 💅
She's totally going to ingest
Sure, we're living in pretty hellish times, but cinema is giving me LIFE. So many good films to look forward to, with this + Anora at the top of the list
Hellish?
@@Sinikkastudioyes hellish
@@alexflowers97 just don’t watch too much tv - most of its content is designed to keep you in a survival state so your vibration is low ie. Hell.
Hellish times for sure but if you are able to go to the cinema and comment on UA-cam then they are passing you by
I just watched it an hour ago all I can say is Damn so good!!!! Demi moore so gorgeous❤
I love Demi Moore’s film work and can’t wait to see it!
Give Demi the Oscar now ....
Yes!
10/10 This film is a work of art. A horror masterpiece. Everything is so well done here. I was floored and I'm still thinking about it. Acting, filmmaking, imagery, themes all perfectly done here. A powerful must see film.
This was a straight masterpiece. I’m flabbergasted. Please go see it now!!!!
Cinema LIVES! I've been waiting seems forever for something like this to blow my socks off. Is it too long? Believe me, your idea of what time is will be not an issue as the last 25 minutes will destroy all sense of time.
Damn when you thought the trailer was good, the film surpasses all your wildest dreams. Loved this movie!
I'm a whole new person after watching this. It teaches you a very good lesson too. I couldn't take my eyes out of the screen.
Saw the premier at Cannes and can’t wait to rewatch it 😤😤😤
How did you manage to see this at Cannes! Do you attend regularly? That's a bucket-list experience for me!! 😍🤩😍
@@krystalharris79only way to attend the Film Cannes Festival is to work in the industry.
Then you have tiers:
- top people making the product: producers, actors, etc They are invited to the showing of the production they worked on and they get + one invites
- press, have free picks of shows, invites only for themselves
- distributors, also have free picks of shows, invites only for themselves.
You show up at the beginning of the Festival, show your accreditation and pick the shows you plan to attend. If you are late, bad luck.
That’s it.
this movie looks batshit beautiful!!
it looks shit
Shid*
IT IS.
@@Metrawolf I saw it last night and OMG what a ride!
This movie was 110% worth the watch. I was intrigued by the trailer, but nothing can quite prepare you for the experience this film provides. It’s horror in a way that is evocative and unique and BEYOND STRANGE- be prepared for weird with this one! You may not shriek in fear, but you will cringe with discomfort, and if you’re a woman (or lots of men too!) you will definitely relate to some piece of it. That’s all I can say without spoiling anything, just PLEASE give it a watch! Cronenberg would be thrilled ❤
Full body chills. Literally cannot wait
Hehehe… see what you did there.
You literally have to wait though 😂
I wanna see just cuz it's been ages since I've seen Demi Moore on the big screen. She's amazing
Just watched it!!! It’s definitely worth it. Demi and Margaret are amazing!!
saw it at Way Out West.
y'all are not ready, trust me.
As long as you are...😉
Oh, believe me...I'm SO ready!
What's Way Out West?
@@leilafarahmoussathe wild wild west
This trailer is awesome, whoever edited needs a raise!
Watch the whole movie and you will change your mind.
Y’all my friend invited me to watch this. Lets just say I had NO IDEA what I was getting myself into
Watched this at a film festival - maybe one of the best films I’ve ever seen. Must see in a cinema, ridiculously fun experience
Mmmkay... Your glowing endorsement just sold me! 👍🏽
I saw at there as well. thought it sucked tbh!
Beyond excited to watch Margaret Qualley in this. She is special.
Definitely! First saw her in Maid - so this definitely peaked my interest ❤
What lies beyond the point of excitement?
@@bergeracvandamme Maybe her performances in Once upon a time in Hollywood, Poor Things and Kinds of kindness?
Honestly, FINALLY a movie that is truly great. I had so much fun with this one! THANK YOU WONDERFUL CAST AND EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS MOVIE POSSIBLE!
Demi Moore makes everything she's in better.
One advice I have is NEVER. Watch this while drunk or on drugs.
Beautiful cinematic and sound design is perfect.
Though it’s weird af. It teaches a valuable lessons on downfalls of being selfish / prideful.
You guys did it again. Your take on trailers is on another level.
One of the best movies i have ever watched, i am 35 and have seen thousands of movies
36.... Exactly the same thought.
Went into this movie randomly knowing absolutely nothing about it. Felt like I was watching a campy AAA 80s bodyhorror flick. The visual cues are so direct and visceral. I admire how straight to the point it is. There’s no subliminal context, what you see is what you get. That’s how the best films are enjoyed
Fantastic movie, great acting, will stick with you long after. Reflects the absurdity of beauty standards. Plus, the trailer did its job by not giving anything away with spoilers... Kudos!

Yeah 👍🏻 especially to their surgeons and endless amounts of money
Anaconda was ‘97 not ‘96….
@thetowertarot13 it takes so much more than money. So much more. This is talent and creativity. They are shiners and definitely deserve respect.
@@victormulke3048 Jennifer Lopez is in a place in her career where she REALLY needs something like this...an Oscar or at least an Oscar nomination.
Unfortunately I doubt Moore will get an Oscar nomination for this, she is excellent. But it is too genre-bending a film for the Academy's tastes.
Instant classic. What a film
This didn't felt like a trailer.
It felt like a borderline anxiety attack.
(In a good way)
EDIT: Just watched the film two weeks ago. For those who want to see it, GO PREPARED. Trust me.
@Ivosferatus, not sure it gives off anything near an anxiety attack. It's not even close, frantic behaviour, obsession and the determination to succeed in a goal is what I was getting from the trailer.
As somebody with anxiety who frequently has panic attacks this is pretty much how it feels like. The music is on point with how you feel during a panic attack.
Stop! That movie was weak. lmao!
i’ve been gobbling up everything i could find about this film
I bet you can do some good gobbling
Same here. The trailer alone has consumed me at the same time.
Gay
this movie was bonkers and a true experience, never have i been to a film where it had both people walking out early and people either speechless or laughing at the end saying they want to see it again
this movie is amazing and Demi deserves an Oscar.
I love love love Demi Moore! Brilliant actress and human being. She absolutely needs to be in more movies to shine for us.
Worth the watch!! ❤ Mind-blown. The trailer gives nothing away.
I see cronenberg, giallo, de palma...Looks absolutely fantastic
I watched it with my Mum at the cinema a few hours ago and we were left absolutely stunned😃. It’s been a while since I saw a totally effed up movie but I love how they portrayed the dangers of beauty standards effects on women☹️
Probably Demi's best work to date. And the effects were beautiful and disgusting hah
I couldn't believe how good she is in it. I guess I'd never given her much thought as an actress before, but she goes hell for leather in this, it's a hell of a performance.
This looks like an absolute masterpiece and I can’t wait to see it !! 🤩
Not to mention it’s awesome to see that Demi Moore is finally acting again !
Watched it 3 times in 3 days. One of the best films ever made. An incredibly disturbing cautionary tale on what happens when you base your entire identity on your looks. Every young woman should watch this film.
my most anticipated movie in forever!!!
I am speechless after watching this movie. Never seen anything like this in my 30years of Life time
Not since Poor Things have I been so excited for a FILM to premier! Demi is legend.
Yeah! Both are extraordinary
we are the same person ! (pun intended)
Poor Things was extremely disappointing and overrated in my opinion (again just an opinion. This film however amazed and shocked me, 100x more impressed and enjoyed.
The legend DEMI die with that TRASH movie.
