    The Substance

    ★★★½

    2 horror films in 1 year. Doing my best to broaden my horizons. Also happens to be the first body horror I’ve watched, so I’ll give this a go. Time for, The Substance (insert blaring techno noise here).

    A musical adaptation that gets it right…well I’ll be damned. Going in as a fan of the stage show I was skeptical if a film could capture the same magic of a live performance, and this does not disappoint. Both leading ladies are fantastic, with extra praise for Ariana Grande, who I can now only see as a perfect fit for this role. 

    The visuals are excellent, and really brings Oz to life with a vibrant backdrop in nearly every…
