A fading celebrity takes a black-market drug: a cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself.. There's nothing scarier than being human, and these films fully explore the inhuman ways our bodies can betray us. From the chilling to the audacious, here are five body horror movies you may have missed.. Ray Liotta was cast in the film in February 2022, but he died in May that year before he could film his scenes. Dennis Quaid replaced him, but Liotta is still mentioned in the director's "Thank You Notes" during the credits.. The toilet mirror reappears intact after being repeatedly smashed during the fight sequence.. Elisabeth Sparkle: There’s been a slight misuse of the Substance.. A special thanks in the credits is given to the many extras in the theater scene, who got covered in blood.. Featured in The 7PM Project: Episode dated 20 September 2024 (2024). Pump It UpWritten by Michael Hall, Leonardo StellaPerformed by Earl GregoryProduced by Julien Deguines. Let me start out by saying: I love body horror and if you don't, or if you're squeamish, you might want to pass on this film. That said, I thought the balance between disturbing, impactful, intriguing, and disgusting was absolutely right on the money.In a world full where filler, botox, face lifts and implants, skin care routines, and obsession with youth are at their peak in media, THE SUBSTANCE calls into question whether the "new, better 'you'" is really 'you' – you are one, but perhaps not the same. It's clever, it's gross, it's pointed, and it's a fun watch. Moore and Qualley were an excellent duo and Quaid played a Hollywood sleezeball as believably as it could be done..
