Ok this might be a bit niche but is anyone else on TikTok all of a sudden getting flooded, pun optional, with "hot death eaters" videos from Universal's Halloween Horror Nights?

A few of us have made the connection that we all seemed to be on BookTok with a slight predisposition towards anti-heroes, or all around questionable moral choices in fictional men, And let me repeat in fictional people...

But yeah anyone else on here? I cannot be the only one >.> Also we could always share fic and book recommends!

p.s. none of us seem to support jkr and aren't engaging in Hp stuff in any way other then thirsting over videos that, yes, are taken at a place where jkr does draw money but not directly.

The Substance (2024): A Grotesque Exploration Of Ageism And Sexism In Hollywood

In the realm of horror cinema, few films manage to strike a balance between grotesque entertainment and profound social commentary. The Substance (2024), directed by Coralie Fargeat, is one such film that boldly ventures into this territory. Starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, the movie is a feminist body-horror masterpiece that delves into the harsh realities of ageism and sexism in Hollywood.

At its core, The Substance is a story about an aging actress, portrayed by Moore, who grapples with the industry's relentless obsession with youth and beauty. The film's visual maximalism, while at times overwhelming, serves as a powerful metaphor for the suffocating pressures faced by women in the entertainment industry. The grotesque and unhinged scenes, filled with blood and gore, are not merely for shock value but are symbolic of the visceral struggle for autonomy and respect.

One of the most striking aspects of the film is its unflinching portrayal of the physical and emotional toll of ageism. Moore's character is not just fighting against the external forces of the industry but also battling her own internalized insecurities and fears. This dual struggle is depicted with a raw intensity that is both heartbreaking and empowering. The film's biting social commentary resonates deeply, shedding light on the often overlooked issue of ageism in Hollywood.

Margaret Qualley's performance as a younger actress navigating the same treacherous waters adds another layer of complexity to the narrative. Her character's journey highlights the cyclical nature of sexism and the ways in which the industry pits women against each other. The dynamic between Moore and Qualley's characters is a poignant exploration of solidarity and rivalry, making the film's message even more compelling.

The Substance is not for the faint-hearted. Its grotesque and blood-soaked scenes are brilliantly disgusting and deranged, making it a polarizing yet unforgettable experience. The film's gore-filled, bonkers finale will leave audiences either running screaming or wildly entertained. However, beneath the surface of its shocking visuals lies a thought-provoking critique of the industry's systemic issues.

In conclusion, The Substance (2024) is a cathartically fun and extreme feminist body-horror film that should be shown in movie theaters all over. It is a daring and memorable exploration of ageism and sexism in Hollywood, brought to life by stellar performances and a unique visual style. For those who appreciate horror with a message, The Substance is a must-watch.
