Top Selection
This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's daring critique addresses the demanding standards for women's appearance as well as the feared consequences of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore presents a masterful portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, an aging film star demoted to starring in a workout series on television. Pushed out due to her deceitful superior Harvey, she turns to a mysterious and horrifying treatment called "The Substance". This produces a younger clone called Sue, resulting in a steadily more toxic connection among both women. October 17th, the streaming service Paramount+
This Mystery Thriller
This Agatha Christie-esque story features the talented actress as Laura, an ace reporter who takes a hiatus from covering global conflict to board a high-end voyage with a terminally ill Scandinavian billionaire and philanthropist, her partner, and other affluent passengers. But after an unknown lady falls into the sea during the evening and everyone denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills awaken. Available now, on Netflix
Presence Film
Steven Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities in this clever paranormal narrative filmed completely from the viewpoint of the phantom. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the lens – AKA the Presence – follows them around. Chloe seems aware of the supernatural presence, and it seems guarding her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that doesn't outstay its welcome, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. Saturday 11 October, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, the Sky channel
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Nicolas Cage wholeheartedly adopts his cult stardom in this self-referential adventure. He portrays an egotistical Hollywood actor named Nicolas Cage who takes on a lucrative offer to attend a birthday party on the Spanish island for the rich Javi Gutierrez. Hired by government spies to spy on the alleged criminal, the actor's unconventional method comes in handy. October 11th, prime time, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective even without a sequel. Located in 1970s Colorado, multiple disappearances has made the children frightened. Once Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a cellar, he dreads a fatal end. However, the non-functional line in the room repeatedly calls, with spooky callers giving advice, as the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for Mammon in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation about the fallen TV preacher and her criminal husband. The actor portrays the greedy Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, claiming divine approval for wealth. Both individuals set about capitalizing on the American public's religious faith. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, overdone appearance and insincerity, yet the lead actress manages to present the real-life figure with compassion. October 14th, late night, Film4
Black Bag
The current week's second offering from the filmmaker presents a espionage tale as precise as the polo necks used by Michael Fassbender's UK spy. He receives a mission to discover a traitor among the team out of five possibilities – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Both actors excel of understated style, leading to a delightful mind game of fact versus fiction develops. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the smart espionage amusement. Friday 17 October, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
