‘The Substance’ Comes to Digital, But When Will ‘The Substance’ Be Streaming?
If you didn’t catch The Substance in theaters—and if you haven’t already been spoiled by all the clips posted on social media—then you’ll definitely want to watch The Substance online. Luckily for you, The Substance is coming both to video-on-demand and on streaming this week, just in time for Halloween.
Written and directed by French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat, this horror film first premiered at Cannes Film Festival to rave reviews, where it also won the Palme d’Or for Best Screenplay. Demi Moore stars as a fictional, aging Hollywood star named Elisabeth Sparkle, who uses an experimental black market drug to create a younger, hotter clone of herself, played by Margaret Qualley. Also starring Dennis Quaid as a sexist, unhinged Hollywood producer, The Substance is a loud, gross, and outrageous commentary on ageism and misogyny. It’s no wonder the movie has horror fans buzzing.
Here’s what to know about how to watch The Substance online, and where to watch The Substance on streaming.
