Film Versus Film

Society (1989) Versus The Substance (2024)

Film Versus Film

Show Notes

Two of the best exponents of the body horror genre! One film is an under-appreciated, incest-riddled, TrashFest, and the other is an Oscar-nominated, hyper-realistic, indie smash. Both films use the body to present satirical narratives about class, family, capitalism and the patriarchy. Brian Yuzna’s Society and Coralie Fargaet’s The Substance.
