    The Substance

    ★★★★

    The Substance challenges horror conventions with its innovative use of the grotesque, not for shock value, but to heighten discomfort and critique societal beauty standards.

It’s the kind of movie that’s better experienced without being swayed by negative reviews—whether you enjoy it will depend largely on your own tastes.
