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…
