On one of my days off I had a nice triple bill of horror to watch.
The Substance, which was a very good body horror film. I fell in love with Margaret Qualley and Demi Moore (not literally but they were both amazing in it). I feel like the movie released with great timing as influencers are starting to push weight loss drugs such as Ozempic.
Heretic, which I found Hugh Grant to be terrifying and well spoken, as he played a strange and seemingly harmless (at first) man that has some pretty interesting insights into religion. I found the cat and mouse type environment to work well with the verbal riddles regarding religious hypocrisies. The third act could have been better but it was still a decent watch overall.
Finally, Alien Romulus, which was the best alien film since the first two, if they didn’t shoe horn the line “get away from her you… bitch” it may have been better than the second one also but, alas it was still a great watch. I particularly liked the character of Andy and the face hugger sections were the most intense scenes until the third and final act, where Mark Zuckerberg made a cameo.
I could not eat my popcorn or drink my icee with all the body horror going on in The Substance. I don’t think I would watch it again.
I also made the mistake of eating while watching The Substance.
