[SUBS] The Substance (2024) Streaming @ Stan

770

starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, Dennis Quaid.

so cheerful about this. 😃 wanted to watch it since it showed in the TV app and was considering renting it when it was discounted, but I can watch it now on my Stan sub!

one of the genres it's mentioned as is "dark comedy" but I am going to go into it without thinking of it as a comedy at all.

  • also I was wrong about Stan upping their price of base tier which I am on. Basic is still $12 a month, I thought it was going up to $17 but that's the Standard tier. I had subbed and been watching Stan about 3 months in a row now because I thought apple subs area locked in the price for me if I let it renew. but I was wrong, so I can take a break and move to another sub now.

A fading celebrity decides to use a black market drug, a cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself.

    Again not a deal, but fantastically disgusting film 👌

      • Tell me you didn't understand the film without telling me you didn't understand the film

          Tell me you're using tiktok all the time without telling me you're using tiktok all the time.

          Ps how is it uncomprehensible to you that someone might 'understand' this film and STILL don't like it?

          • +2

            @nikoris: Never used tiktok before lol

            Maybe if you said you didn't like it my response would have been different. But if you think the movie is 'pointless' you didn't understand it.

        • Cocomelon might be more suitable for some users. Though EIEIO could make some scratch their heads.

    • So long though man I was bored even with the monster

    It's not typically my kind of film and I had a great time.

  • -3

    I think they ran out of money 1/3 of the way through making the movie.

    Had a good amount of potential but then…

    • -1

      Demi Moore is fine though time to dust off striptease

  • +2

    I was dragged along to see this - but loved it!

  • The real bargain will be when The Brutalist hits a streamer. Fantastic film.

      Disagree, pretentious crap. I was furious when I found out it’s entirely fiction

        I hope you're okay now

    What a fkd up movie, no2 most fkd up flick on my list.
    No1 was an Aussie flick called Feed.

    • Feed was pure trash.

    • +2

      Can't be worse than a certain movie from Serbia.

      • It isn’t going to be disturbing for people who watch transgressive films. tbh it’s pretty campy/funny with some cool practical effects

    • You’re forgetting The Human Centipede.. that was pretty bad.

      • +1

        The second film was worse imho

        • Haven’t seen the second one but you have piqued my interest :)

        • What about the third film?

    • +1

      Yeah that was wrong I accidentally rented it back in the day

  • If anyone has any trials etc for Stan, let me know. Can’t find anything anywhere but thinking there’d surely be a code from a flyer or a partnership deal somewhere!

      Mubi has the streaming rights for 'The Substance' for most of the northern hemisphere, and comes with a seven day free trial, so if you're keen and able you can use VPN skills to access that.

    • +2

      Stan, like Netflix, have almost all full paying subscribers, and so actually turn a profit. It's Binge and Paramount that get desperate and basically give it away to claim they have X amount of subscribers but suffer financially. Probably only going to get worse for Binge once DAZN takes full ownership of Foxtel later this year and focuses on the sport side of things. Stan used to have a 30 day free trial but that ended a year ago.

    Watched this with a big serving of prawns. Highly recommend!!

    • Oysters too.

      • and a chicken drumstick

    I watched this film while my old body was on recharge for 7 days!

  • Thought the ending was ott and loving itself a bit, but overall a great movie.

  • +4

    Well worth watching although it goes off the rails near the end.

  • +5

    2/3rd of the movie was ok but ending just made the movie weird

  • -1

    Are we gonna have posts for every new movie lol

    • What’s next , YouTube uploads ?

    • And SBS on demand too. Anything goes somehow

      I WANT to see addition but special and significant additions, not… this.

  • +9

    Don't wanna brag or anything but I work for Stan and I published it at midnight last night :) enjoy team!

    • +2

      Cheers Baz. Thought Elvis was pretty good too btw

  • +1

    One of the best films I’ve ever seen. And I’m not even a fan of the genre. Generational stuff. But it’s best in the cinema.

  • -7

    Seriously, how is this a deal?
    And regardless, f*** Stan.

    • +4

      There’s a disclaimer about additions to subs and you also haven’t elaborated on why “f*** Stan.”

      Not a great neg…

      • -6

        Come on bro, just because i wanna see additions to subs, doesnt mean all of them are nice. Should be kept for nice/special movies.

        • +4

          Going forward the mods will make sure to apply the nikoris scale when determining if a movie is worthy enough to be highlighted. Golden Globes, Oscars, critical praise etc be damned.

          • -3

            @Randolph Duke: Going forward let's make sure to highlight any movie added to streaming services that received any of the above (globes, oscars, critical appraise)
            That's sums it up to about … calculates… 10 movies a week. Add 10 games per week too.
            Hey, let's make it better, let's highlight movies that are 'leaving soon' those services too, further making sure that people hunting for bargains, don't miss those movies and games!!

      • I have a visceral adversion for Stan, especially for their Sport package , which they don't allow unless you subscribe their crappy entertainment package first.

        So, any movie that gets added to any streaming platform is a valid deal post? Cool ok, I'll remove my neg but it doesn't make much sense to me

    • The problem with Stan is that there isn't enough Ru Paul

      • -1

        Can we have more shows where homosexuals dress up and compete for the approval of their transvestite father figure.

  • +4

    Average movie that gets even worse at the end

  • Don't google it, just watch and enjoy.

    "Well, I say enjoy"

    I've been watching horror for nearly 30 years and I can't remember a movie that has made me this uncomfortable. I can sit through movies like Terrifier no problem, but literally covered my eyes multiple times during this one - great movie that I never want to think about ever again.

    • I never watch horror movies. Went into the theatre expecting a sci-fi movie tbh. Was entertained, a little hornified, but not horrified. Which parts did you find most uncomfortable?

      • The combination of medical procedures and body horror really got me - crazy to see the amount of horny comments here, because I didn't want to think about a naked body for a week afterwards.

        • Extracting the stabiliser fluid was an uncomfortable watch admittedly

    • Surely something like martyrs (French version) is worse.

      • Awful pornographic movie, the French are a spent force in film

    • You sold me! Added to my watchlist.

    • Bro come on have you seen the thing, Jacobs ladder, body snatchers it's not even mid

  • so cheerful about this. 😃 wanted to watch it since it showed in the TV app and was considering renting it when it was discounted, but I can watch it now on my Stan sub!

    Can’t tell if this is AI spam or NPC spam.

    Movie is good but not original nor a masterpiece - it's entirely derivative of Fly, Videodrome, Brood and Society.

    • Good movies man except society that was a little style over substance

  • -7

    Dreadful movie.

  • This movie was different and never got boring

  • The last "dark comedy" I watched was Triangle of Sadness. Thoroughly enjoyed it 😁.

    • Captains dinner

      • Man that scene really intrigued me. The actors looked like the were vomiting for real. No cut scenes between multiple throwing up scenes from the same person 😂

        • That scene was genius. Unfortunately, the movie had a soft ending

  • This is not a bargain. Also, as an aside, the film had promise but went off the rails for the last 1/3

  • booba

  • lol @ Demi Moore playing a 50 year old

    You have heard of Pirate Bay right?
