The Substance 4K UHD bluray mediabook

Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-list celebrity whose glory days are behind her, is suddenly fired from her own fitness TV show by the obnoxious TV executive Harvey. She then takes a chance on a mysterious new drug offered to her: THE SUBSTANCE. A single injection is enough for her to be temporarily reborn as a beautiful woman in her twenties named Sue. The only rule? They must share the time: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. The perfect balance. What could go wrong?
