Internalized misogyny” is not a phrase you’ll hear me say very often, but I think it’s weirdly appropriate when it comes to Coralie Fargeat’s critically acclaimed body horror film, The Substance, which has become—rather bizarrely—a massive hit since its release last year.

Arpana Junaga looked forward to a Halloween party with neighbours. But two days later, her body was found naked and beaten with burn marks.
Like many moviegoers today, I prefer practical special effects over CGI and I was delighted to see in the featurette that Fargeat agrees.
