This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's daring critique examines the oppressive nature of feminine aesthetics and the dreaded aspects of advancing years. Demi Moore offers a brilliant performance in the role of Elisabeth, a mature film star forced into hosting a workout series on TV.

This generates a younger clone called Sue, culminating in a steadily more toxic connection between them. October 17th, Paramount Plus

This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director pushes his creative boundaries in this innovative ghostly tale filmed completely through the eyes of the spirit. As a family with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their recent residence, the lens – AKA the Presence – shadows their actions. The daughter appears aware of the ghostly being, and it looks like defensive toward her. But why? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, including a revelation you might not see coming.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image in this meta comedy caper. He acts as an egotistical film star playing himself who accepts a lucrative offer to attend a birthday party in Mallorca for billionaire superfan Javi. Recruited by the CIA to spy on the suspected cartel boss, Cage's unconventional method is put to the test. October 11th, prime time, on Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
The director's locked-room horror remains effective even without a continuation. Located in the late 70s in Denver, a series of child abductions has rendered the children frightened. When Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and held captive in a cellar, he fears a terrible outcome. However, the old telephone on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices giving advice, as the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between faith and wealth, the victory is clear for Mammon in this director's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation about the fallen TV preacher and her criminal husband. Andrew Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who proclaims at the beginning, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals commence monetising the people's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, however the lead actress achieves to depict the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, early morning, the Film4 channel
