Highlighted Choice
The Substance Film
The filmmaker's daring critique addresses the tyranny of women's appearance as well as the dreaded aspects of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers an inspired performance playing Elisabeth, an aging actress forced into presenting a fitness program on the small screen. Pushed out thanks to her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she turns to an enigmatic and horrifying procedure called "The Substance". This produces a new version of herself called Sue, resulting in a steadily more parasitic dynamic among both women. October 17th, Paramount Plus
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This classic whodunit story stars the talented actress as Laura, a skilled journalist who opts for some time off from reporting on global conflict to board a high-end voyage with a gravely sick wealthy inheritor and philanthropist, her husband, and other filthy rich guests. However when an enigmatic female disappears from the ship during the evening and the entire crew denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills take over. Available now, the Netflix platform
Presence Film
The acclaimed director pushes his film-making abilities in this nifty paranormal narrative filmed completely from the perspective of the phantom. When a household featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their new suburban house, the camera – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of sensing the ghostly being, and it seems protective of her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that may be unexpected. October 11th, multiple showings, Sky Cinema
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image in this meta comedy caper. He portrays a self-obsessed celebrity playing himself who agrees to a million-dollar gig to appear at a festive event at a Mediterranean location for the wealthy Javi Gutierrez. Contacted by government spies to gather intel on the alleged criminal, Cage's unique performing skills proves useful. Saturday 11 October, prime time, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone Horror
Scott Derrickson's contained scarefest remains effective without requiring a sequel. Located in 1978 Denver, multiple kidnappings has rendered the children frightened. When Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and locked up in a dungeon, he dreads the worst. But the old telephone on the wall continues to ring, with ghostly voices providing assistance, as the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister could save him. A solid creepfest. Saturday 11 October, late evening, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for Mammon in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. The actor acts as the venal Jim, who proclaims initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about monetising the American public's religious faith. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, however Chastain achieves to show the character with compassion. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
This period's another release from the filmmaker is a espionage tale as sharp similar to the collars sported by Fassbender's UK spy. He is tasked to discover a traitor inside the organization from five suspects – one of whom is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Each performer are experts of deadpan cool, so a delicious mental battle of deception or honesty takes place. Additional actors join in the clever spy entertainment. This Friday, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema
