“An enraged scream in cinematic form.” Mubi has revealed the full trailer for the wild and audacious horror film The Substance, which launched with a rapturous premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival back in May. It’s the second feature directed by horror filmmaker Coralie Fargeat, who makes very bloody horror flicks. “Have you dreamt of a better version of yourself? You. Only better in every way.
