Klein’s Film Class Discusses The Substance

On March 2, Amanda Klein’s film studies class students attended The Substance screening.

Film student Haley Richards provided a brief recap of the event, “The Substance is a contemporary horror film that explores themes of aging women and stardom. I was so excited that the English department graciously provided us with pizza and wings. We have been discussing abject horror in class, so the experience of mutual group disgust deepened my understanding of this concept. It literally brought the subject to life. I loved squirming, cringing, shouting, and eating with everyone during The Substance. I would go to a second screening for class if I could.”
