One cinema-goer said: “At least 20 people walked out of my screening in Leicester Square before the end. It was brutal.

“Most people watched it through their hands. It was the most graphic film I’ve ever seen.”

Ghost star Demi, 61, plays fading celeb Elisabeth Sparkle, who uses a black market drug that creates a younger, better version of herself, played by Margaret Qualley, 29 — but with horrific side effects.

And Demi knew the film would be divisive.

She said: “When I read The Substance I thought, wow, this could be really amazing — or it could be a f***ing disaster.

"So, of course, I had to say yes.

“I feel like Ghost was very similar, but I think when we push ourselves out of our comfort zone and it makes us afraid it always makes us a little better.

"Even if it fails.

"The reviews for Ghost were disastrous.”
