The Substance (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Waxwork Records is thrilled to release THE SUBSTANCE Original Motion Picture Score by Raffertie. The Substance is a 2024 body horror film written and directed Coralie Fargeat. The film stars Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid. Its plot follows a fading celebrity who decides to use a black market drug, a cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself, unknowingly giving her horrifying side effects.

The Substance was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival where it received a 13 minute standing ovation.
