Highlighted Choice
The Substance Film
Coralie Fargeat's daring critique addresses the demanding standards for female beauty as well as the perceived horrors of advancing years. The veteran actress delivers an inspired portrayal playing Elisabeth, a 50-year-old actress forced into hosting a workout series on TV. Forced aside thanks to her slimy boss her manager Harvey, she turns to a mysterious and terrifying process titled the Substance. This generates a younger clone portrayed by Margaret Qualley, culminating in a steadily more vampiric relationship between the two. This Friday, Paramount+
This Mystery Thriller
This Agatha Christie-esque thriller includes Keira Knightley playing Laura, an ace reporter who decides to take a break from writing about international wars to join an opulent ship with a terminally ill Norwegian shipping heiress and donor, her husband, and other affluent passengers. However when an enigmatic female falls into the sea during the evening and the entire crew denies she ever existed, Laura's investigative instincts kick in. Streaming currently, on Netflix
Presence Film
The acclaimed director challenges his directorial skills with this clever supernatural story shot entirely from the viewpoint of the phantom. When a household including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe settles into their fresh home, the lens – representing the ghost – shadows their actions. The daughter appears aware of the ghostly being, and it looks like protective of her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that remains concise, featuring a surprise you might not see coming. Saturday 11 October, afternoon and evening times, the Sky channel
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
The iconic actor wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image via this meta comedy caper. He plays a narcissistic Hollywood actor playing himself who takes on a $1m payday to attend a celebration on the Spanish island for the rich Javi Gutierrez. Recruited by the intelligence agency to spy on the potential kingpin, Cage's unique performing skills is put to the test. Saturday 11 October, evening, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone Horror
The director's claustrophobic thriller holds up well without requiring a follow-up. Set in the late 70s in Denver, a series of disappearances has made the children frightened. When Finney is kidnapped by the kidnapper and held captive in a cellar, he dreads a fatal end. But the old telephone mounted nearby continues to ring, with spooky callers giving advice, while the intuitive nightmares from his sibling Gwen might rescue him. An effective horror. Saturday 11 October, 10.50pm, the Film4 channel
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for greed in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish true story regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse. The actor portrays the corrupt Bakker, who states at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence profiting from the people's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of poor styling, bad makeup and insincerity, yet Chastain achieves to present the character with compassion. October 14th, early morning, the Film4 channel
Black Bag
The current week's another release from Steven Soderbergh is a intelligence thriller as precise as the polo necks worn by the actor's UK spy. His assignment is with uncovering a double agent within their ranks out of five possibilities – one of whom is his spouse. Both actors excel of deadpan cool, so a delicious mental battle of fact versus fiction unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the clever spy entertainment. This Friday, various showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
