Whilst the actual mechanics of The Substance, its implementation, and its supposed separation of the candidates does not hold up to much scrutiny, it does make for a remarkably engaging basis for this super gory thrill ride through the guts of Hollwyood’s most superficial avenues.
All of which acts as a great platform to spotlight the film’s…
