10 Most WTF Moments From 2024 Horror Movies
1. Monstro Elisasue - The Substance
Even accepting that The Substance was marketed as a body horror film, did anyone expect it to go quite this hard in the final act?
Fading middle-aged celebrity Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) and her younger self, Sue (Margaret Qualley), end up abusing the rules of the titular compound, unexpectedly leaving them both fully conscious at the same time.
The resulting clash sees Sue beat Elisabeth to death, only for Sue to realise that, without Elisabeth, she's going to rapidly deteriorate. In her desperation, Sue then attempts to use the Substance to grow a younger version of herself, only to create "Monstro Elisasue" - a disgusting, fleshy hybrid of the two ladies.
Even so, Elisasue heads off to present the New Year's TV special she'd been hired for, only for the audience to naturally express revulsion at her appearance, leading to a hilariously over-the-top gorefest finale in which Elisasue is decapitated by an audience member.
The final scene then shows what remains of Elisasue collapsing onto Elisabeth's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the remnants of her original appearance then fizzling into the pavement. What a damn ride this movie was.
