French director Coralie Fargeat's 'The Substance' offers a refreshing female perspective on horror by exploring societal reactions to a woman's body past 50, going beyond childbirth and fertility.
In 'The Substance', horror transcends traditional themes as it explores the grotesque realities of aging in women, portraying the often ignored emotional and physical turmoil of menopause.
Unlike many horror films focusing on reproductive themes, 'The Substance' critiques societal attitudes toward women deemed obsolete after 50, presenting a visceral commentary on age and identity.
The film juxtaposes the grotesque with a credible emotional narrative, making it not only a horror film but also a powerful exploration of women's experiences with their bodies over time.
