Elisabeth Sparkle (Moore), renowned for an aerobics show, faces a devastating blow on her 50th birthday when she is unceremoniously fired. Amid her distress, a laboratory offers her a black-market substance which promises to transform her into an enhanced version of herself (Qualley).

A frenzied and satirical body horror that's as clever as it is gory, THE SUBSTANCE adds a timely and viscerally confronting feminist spin on ageism and the toll of vanity.
