Demi Moore On How Her New Horror Film Compares To Ghost And How Her Team Reacted When They Gave Her The Script



The remaining months of 2024 are filled with some very exciting upcoming horror movies, both indie productions and franchise features alike, and one of the most exciting of the bunch is writer/director Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance. The provocative, twisted vision had its world premiere earlier this summer at the Cannes Film Festival, earning some outrageous praise in the aftermath – and while hype is high, in the weeks leading up to the film’s theatrical release, star Demi Moore has now added to the excitement by making an interesting comparison of it to one of her most iconic 90’s titles.

Moore will long be remembered for her performance in the beloved 1990 romance Ghost, co-starring Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg, and while that movie doesn’t really categorize as horror, she drew a direct link between the film and The Substance during a recent interview with Empire. The two features are extremely different tonally, but when she had the opportunity to read Coralie Fargeat’s script, she recognized a familiar potential. Said Moore,

Reading Ghost, I thought, ‘Wow, we’ve got a love story, a thriller and a comedy.’ This could either be a disaster, or come together and somehow work.’ [The Substance] fits into that category.
