From the 88 Films press release:
88 Films is proud to announce the North American Blu-ray premier of Helter Skelter arriving on March 24.
Helter Skelter journeys to the dreamy land of high fashion and beautiful people for a body horror nightmare. Lilico (
Erika Sawajiri) stands at the top of the modeling world, influencing an army of teen girls through fashion choices and advertising endorsements. The cover of every magazine in Tokyo features her latest look. Voracious and ambitious, Lilico will do anything to maintain her prime position. This includes seducing the right people to elevate her career and have others perform her dirty work.
A willingness to use a cosmetic surgery facility that engages in revolutionary and severely illegal procedures results in her body soon suffering the consequences of these cutting edge enhancements. What new extremes will she embrace to restore her flawless flesh and remove any challengers to her crown?
Director
Mika Ninagawa previously worked as a major fashion photographer, and her knowledge of the industry can be felt in the exquisite, colorful imagery that visually elevates
Helter Skelter.
The special features include the original stereo audio soundtrack; a 5.1 DTS-HD MA audio; newly translated English subtitles; an audio commentary by
Tori Potenza and
Amber T.; interviews with
Erika Sawaji and director
Mika Ninagawa; behind-the-scenes footage; a production site press conference; a Japanese premiere stage greeting; a Taipei Film Festival introduction by
Mika Ninagawa; a stills gallery; teasers and trailers, and a limited edition booklet with an essay by
Violet Burns.

Helter Skelter is distributed by MVD Entertainment Group.
It looks like this has some similarities to The Substance, given the themes, but it was released in 2012.
