This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's daring commentary examines the tyranny of female beauty along with the perceived horrors of growing older.

Presence
Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills with this clever supernatural story captured wholly through the eyes of the phantom. After a clan featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe settles into their fresh home, the camera – as the unseen entity – follows them around. The teen shows signs of conscious of the ghostly being, and it seems protective of her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that doesn't outstay its welcome, featuring a surprise you might not see coming. Saturday 11 October, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage embraces his cult stardom through this meta comedy caper. He portrays an egotistical film star called Nicolas Cage who accepts a million-dollar gig to visit a festive event in Mallorca for billionaire Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Hired by the intelligence agency to gather intel on the alleged criminal, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” comes in handy. Saturday 11 October, evening, on Channel 4
The Black Phone
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller stands strong without requiring a sequel. Set in the late 70s in Denver, a series of kidnappings has left the local kids anxious. After Finney is taken by the kidnapper and held captive in a dungeon, he fears the worst. Yet the disconnected phone mounted nearby keeps ringing, with eerie communicators offering help, while the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. An effective horror. Saturday 11 October, late evening, on Film4
This Dramatic Portrait
In the struggle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for greed in Michael Showalter's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed religious broadcaster plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who declares at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. He and Tammy Faye commence capitalizing on the nation's Christian beliefs. It's a riot of bad interior design, overdone appearance and bad faith, however Chastain achieves to depict the character with compassion. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
The Spy Mystery
This period's second offering from the filmmaker delivers a spy mystery as sharp similar to the collars used by the actor's UK spy. His assignment is to discover a double agent inside the organization from a group of five – including is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Each performer are masters of calm composure, so a delicious mental battle of deception or honesty develops. The supporting cast join in the smart espionage amusement.
