Death Becomes Her (1992)

Robert Zemeckis directed and produced Death Becomes Her, a 1992 American satirical black comedic fantasy film. It stars Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn as competitors who battle for the love of the same guy (Bruce Willis) and take a magical elixir that promises perpetual youth but has horrible side effects. It was written by David Koepp and Martin Donovan.

Streep and Goldie Hawn play competitors for the affection of cosmetic surgeon Ernest Menville in this humorously macabre cult classic directed by Forrest Gump director Robert Zemeckis, 69. (Bruce Willis, 66). When both ladies swallow an elixir in the hopes of remaining forever young, they discover that immortality is no stroll in the park, and their zombie rivalry grows progressively ugly. The film's cartoonish body horror won it an Oscar for outstanding visual effects, and both women are clearly having a blast in these gloriously cruel performances.

Death Becomes Her was a commercial triumph when it was released on July 7, 1992, to mixed reviews from critics. It grossed $149 million worldwide on a $55 million budget. The film was a forerunner in the use of computer-generated effects, winning the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects in the process. Death Becomes Her has established a considerable cult following in the decades after its debut, particularly within the LGBT community.
