Presence
Soderbergh tests his film-making abilities with this nifty paranormal narrative captured wholly from the perspective of the phantom. As a family with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe settles into their new suburban house, the camera – as the unseen entity – follows them around.

The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, featuring a surprise that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, multiple showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage fully commits to his cult stardom through this meta comedy caper.

Contacted by government spies to investigate the potential kingpin, the actor's unconventional method proves useful. October 11th, prime time, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone Horror
Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong despite the lack of a continuation. Set in 1978 Denver, a series of child abductions has left the local kids anxious. After Finney gets captured by the villain and held captive in a basement, he fears a fatal end. Yet the disconnected phone in the room continues to ring, with spooky callers providing assistance, and the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen might rescue him. A solid creepfest. This Saturday, late evening, on Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for Mammon in this director's brilliantly over-the-top biopic of the disgraced televangelist and her criminal husband. The actor acts as the greedy Jim, who declares early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. The couple commence profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of poor styling, overdone appearance and bad faith, yet the lead actress achieves to depict the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, late night, on Film4
Black Bag
This week's another release by the same director is a espionage tale as tight like the turtlenecks sported by Fassbender's British agent. He is tasked with uncovering a double agent within their ranks from a group of five – among them is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. The two stars are experts of calm composure, so a delicious psychological game of deception or honesty takes place. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the smart espionage amusement. Friday 17 October, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema
