Swiss Film Explores Body Horror and Personal Identity

Berlin (June 15, 2023) -

The official trailer for "The Substance" has been released, showcasing a chilling and thought-provoking body horror film from Swiss filmmaker Seraina Rohrer. The film stars Academy Award nominee Demi Moore and BAFTA Award nominee Margaret Qualley.

The Substance follows the story of Sarah (Qualley), a young woman who undergoes a mysterious medical procedure that alters her physical form. As her body transforms in unexpected and disturbing ways, Sarah must grapple with her changing identity and the impact it has on her relationships and sense of self.

The film explores themes of transformation, body autonomy, and the blurred lines between humanity and monstrosity. Moore plays Sarah's psychiatrist, Dr. Emily Vaughn, who attempts to guide her through the psychological and physical challenges she faces.

The trailer, distributed by Filmreporter.de, provides glimpses of the film's unsettling visuals, disturbing practical effects, and the intense performances from Moore and Qualley. The Substance is scheduled for release later this year.
