POV: you’re settling in for a scary movie night, but the options seem endless — how do you ever decide on a movie? It’s a horror film in itself; you scroll for so long that it’s time for bed having not even started watching something.

So let us make the decision for you: why not stream “The Substance,” the buzzy body horror film that won Demi Moore her first acting award in her 45-year career?

Moore plays Elisabeth Sparkle, a fading star who is fired from her TV aerobics show upon her 50th birthday. Distressed, she resorts to trying a new, experimental black market drug that creates a younger, hotter clone of herself (Margaret Qualley).

Not for the faint of heart, “The Substance” is a satirical take on aging through the use of some truly gross body horror.

The film is streaming on not one, but two different services making it that much easier to watch without having to drop $20 on VOD or $6 on a rental — it’s also streaming on Mubi.

To watch “The Substance” for free, first you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber. If you aren’t, no worries! It’s easy to get started and you won’t have to pay anything toward your membership for 30 days, but still take advantage of all the perks.

From there, you’ll be able to add a Prime Video Channel subscription onto your account — in this case, you’ll want to add Mubi. You can subscribe via the Mubi page or head right to “The Substance” and click Watch with MUBI / Start your 7-day Free Trial.

So, now you have seven days to explore all of the hidden gems Mubi has to offer. Here are just a few that we recommend checking out.
