This one is up for the Dumb and Stupid award.

It was good to see Demi Moore again but she ought to choose a movie that deserves her. This is not it.

It is good to see Demi Moore back and no punches are pulled in this gore-fest of a horror movie that makes great social commentary on Hollywood's obsession with remaining youthful and the lengths people will go to. Though some audiences are repulsed by what they hadn't expected, they may be missing this commentary altogether. Horrific and sometimes a bit humorous (as with Dennis Quaid," "The Substance" should be highly acclaimed and hopefully will be.

I'm glad AMC extended theater time to this movie. I hope to get to see it a 4th time. INTENSE is an understatement. It's not the grotesqeness of the film, that has turned some away it's the different creative style , performances by all & the heart wrenching pleading , in desperation. to hold on to her beauty that leads to her downfall that brings me back & the soundtrack is the icing on the cake. Described as a horror film, I considerate more a psychological thriller. I see it up for several award nominations

Very strange movie but interesting. Story ok. Demi moore should have an oscar for her tremendous performance.

Not a fan of the gory ending. But it makes sense just like the rest of the story. Great film that applies to today’s society. Women over 40 are old. 18-30 year olds are in demand. They want pretty girls with skinny bodies.

For the 1 star commentors who didn't get this movie possibly because ? 1. the movie deals with obsession, youth & beauty in this case. 2. you will puncture yourself as many times as needed to achieve your "fix". 3. The two women(wich is the same person) come to resent each other; see the movie why. 4. the transformation (in exagerated form) reveals how your rejected, though the same person. 5. But, because of selfishness, if you will, one of the women doesn't follow the mandatorey rules - it's downhill from there. The movie actually has deep themes that apply in todays world with outstanding performances by all, especially Ms. Moore.. Unfortunatley, the over-the-top visuals are what people are negatively focusing on. But that's the point. Amidst the tension & horror are sprinkled in a few moments of humor. Soundtrack , directing etc. I see some award nominations. I will be seeing it again.

If you are a horror fan you will notice that several movies from the past are within the plot, I found it to be funny knowing there were bits and pieces of several movies scattered throughout the film, laughing at times when similar scenes reminded me of things that were similar like Carrie, the Blob, etc.
