Scream queen Demi Moore surprised the audience with her performance in the latest body horror film, The Substance. However, stepping into the gory genre came with its own challenges, and few turned out “nauseating” for her. During her interview with The Los Angeles Times in the Actress Roundtable panel, Moore talked about shooting a gross scene for the film.  The Ghost actress admitted that she’s not someone who gets grossed out easily. “I mean, I’ve watched surgeries, I’ve assisted at 13 births, I’ve seen two C-sections on the surgery side, so I am definitely not a squeamish person,” she added.  Speaking of the gore scenes in The Substance, Moore claimed most of it didn’t bother her. However, there was one scene that made her wanna throw up. “Watching Dennis Quaid eat those shrimp… I mean, that was nauseating,” she revealed.  The roundtable also had actresses like Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo, Emilia Perez’s Zoe Saldaña, The Outrun’s Saoirse Ronan, The Piano Lesson’s Danielle Deadwyler, and Lee’s Kate Winslet, and they chimed in after hearing Moore’s story.  Ronan …

The Substance movie review: Demi Moore shines in audacious body horror on ageing | Hollywood

Published by Parlour News

The Substance movie review: Coraline Fargeat’s French film The Substance, perhaps the most brutal film of the year- goes to bitter, agonizing extremes. It has a fury and rage that feels utterly distinct in its own genre of body horror. The body here is that of an ageing woman named Elisabeth Sparkle, who is striving hard to reconcile with the fact that she might just be forgotten in the crowd of younger and more attractive women. As Demi Moore plays her, the body hides an insecurity so deep and relentless that it cuts through the screen.

It has all the formula going for the great escape, which includes a daring plan to break out of the high-security prison as well as the execution of that plan itself.
