  The Substance 2024

  Watched 04 Mar 2025

  You know, I always wondered what was up with that scar on my back.

  There was so much great stuff here that I loved.

  I'm not a big horror movie fan. I've watched some and I like some too, but besides from the Evil Dead franchise, I've never being hugely engrossed by the genre (in just watching, I very am very much into the theory and subtextuality of horrors).

  But even if I was a horror nut, I know that "Talk to Me" would have blown my bloody socks off. My god was it fun and fresh and creative. It took me a while…
