Though there isn't a full trailer yet, The Substance, directed by Coralie Fargeat, is described as a body horror with a feminist angle.
Exploring themes of toxic masculinity and beauty standards, the film centers around a drug - called the Substance - which vows to turn people into a better version of themselves.
Throughout the film, Elisabeth and her better self must grapple with their new dynamic, resulting in some seriously violent and explicit scenes that involve both Demi and Margaret being fully naked on camera.
The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday and received the longest standing ovation of the event so far, with a whopping 13 minutes of cheering and applause.
