Margaret Qualley, Demi Moore and Dennis Quaid teamed up this year to deliver a dark horror comedy: “The Substance“, which made a big splash at Cannes and will be released in theaters on October 11.

The psychological thriller follows Elisabeth Sparkle, a star of an aerobics show who is fired by her boss on her 50th birthday due to her age. When she returns home, feeling demoralized, she receives an unexpected offer.

Coralie Fargeat is the one responsible for directing and writing the story, which touches on themes like body horror but with a powerful feminist reinterpretation. Here, check out everything about the music of the drama…

Who composed the score for The Substance?

Behind the soundtrack of “The Substance” is none other than Raffertie, the film and television composer who has expanded his influence in the realm of visual music by releasing albums and EPs under the Ninja Tune label.

Raffertie is the stage name of Benjamin Stefanski, a British producer and musician, who initially became known in the electronic music scene, producing a wide range of genres ranging from dubstep to ambient and experimental.

His music stands out for its complex textures, unpredictable rhythms and emotional sensitivity that transcends genres. Therefore, the soundtrack of the dark psychological horror drama is a complete success.
