"The Substance" was theatrically released by Mubi, a production company who bought the title from Universal, on Sept. 20. Since then, the film has been treading close to the box office milestone of $14.8 million.

Gruesomely perfect societal commentary executed in ‘The Substance’

By Logan Thompson, Staff Writer October 1, 2024
“The Substance” is, hands down, the best horror movie to hit theaters in years. A viciously dark satire on the entertainment industry, it’s a wild ride you’ll never forget. Those with a low threshold for gore should watch with caution, however. As I can personally attest, at the Cannes Film Festival premiere this past summer, a fellow audience member passed out and was taken away on a stretcher. Yes, it’s that kind of R-rated movie. Gore galore!
“The Apprentice,” starring Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump, premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 20, and is scheduled to be released in U.S. theaters on Oct. 11.

Stan masters Trump portrayal in ‘The Apprentice’

By Rua Fay September 25, 2024
This year’s Cannes Film Festival in Southern France saw the premiere of many highly anticipated films like “Kinds of Kindness” and “Megalopolis.”  However, audiences were found lining up around the block for a small film directed by Iranian filmmaker, Ali Abbasi. This film was none other than “The Apprentice,” a candid and shocking look at the career of one of the most controversial political figures of the century: former President Donald Trump. Sebastian Stan completely morphs into Trump for what Variety called “2024’s Most Controversial Movie.”
