How it scared people
The vibe
Fargeat shot her debut like a candy-coloured perfume ad and then flooded it with more blood than a body could plausibly hold — a TIFF screening reportedly needed paramedics for a fainting viewer. The peyote cauterization scene, a beer can branded into an open wound, is the pivot from victim to predator. The Substance's blueprint, sun-bleached.
