Demi Moore At Paris Fashion Week Demi Moore ’s latest film, The Substance, received a 13-minute standing ovation and has been called one of the goriest and craziest horror movies in years. The gruesome horror flick stars Demi, 61, as Elisabeth Sparkle, a TV host who begins using the titular Substance to quell the effects of ageing, but it comes with a chilling twist. Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid star in supporting roles, and it’s directed by French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat, known for her 2017 debut Revenge and an episode of the Netflix series The Sandman.

The Substance has received the longest ovation at the prestigious film festival so far. Demi was overwhelmed by the response to the film , which is her first to play Cannes, and said “It has been an incredible ride”, per Deadline.
