The Substance comes to theaters in the US, UK, Latin America, Germany, Canada and Netherlands on September 19 & 20. Visit trythesubstance.com for showtimes and tickets.

Writer/director Coralie Fargeat's Cannes-winning body-horror blitz The Substance features Demi Moore as an aging star who turns to a mystery drug in hopes of becoming a better, younger version of herself. Fargeat tells host Rico Gagliano about casting Moore, why blood and guts are great metaphors, and the pain of makeup removal.
