Demi Moore’s The Substance is all set to premiere on OTT. The film was an unexpected success when it arrived in theatres in September this year and it received praise for its story, screenplay, and performances.
The body horror film was also screened at Cannes and the digital release is now scheduled for October 31 on MUBI. The platform is accessible directly through an application or the official website, and viewers need to purchase a subscription to watch certain content.
