From the chilling to the audacious, here are five body horror movies you may have missed
Plot
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.

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..

A special thanks in the credits is given to the many extras in the theater scene, who got covered in blood.. According to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC)'s website, the version of The Substance that was released theatrically in the UK was uncut (running at a total of 141 minutes and 7 seconds), but the version released for home media was cut by about three seconds (running at a total of 141 and 4 seconds).

Was an enjoyable watch but the last 20-30 minutes got kinda silly and dumb, it lost its intelligence and subtlety too say the least and went to pure dumb gross out scenery, completely unnecessary especially when the messaging wasn't exactly subtle and was evident throughout the entire movie, from the very premise itself tbh, point is they could a ended on a much stronger note before the final change as it added nothing too what it was trying to say or show, not that it should turn anyone off from watching it, it's a good movie that will keep you interested from start too finish but should've been 20 min shorter..
