Some films don’t tell you a story.
They perform it on your senses.
In The Substance, nothing feels quiet even when no one is speaking.
There is always something a fluorescent light insisting on being heard a room that hums like it remembers you the soft violence of something being “perfected” and underneath it all, the body not as identity, but as something being edited in real time.
It is not horror that jumps at you.
It is horror that adjusts you slowly until you are no longer sure which version of you is supposed to stay.
And the scariest part
Everything still looks beautiful while it is happening.

the sound effects in the movie are amazing, and also just the confidence that the actors have to film this.... i applaud them
trueee sis! it's one of a kind, the immersive sounds are indeed overpowering than the dialogues and it's really creative 🥹
