This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh tests his film-making abilities in this innovative paranormal narrative shot entirely from the viewpoint of a ghost. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the camera – AKA the Presence – shadows their actions. Chloe seems aware of the supernatural presence, and it looks like defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, with a twist you might not see coming. Saturday 11 October, multiple showings, the Sky channel
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
The iconic actor embraces his cult stardom via this self-referential adventure. He portrays a narcissistic celebrity called Nicolas Cage who accepts a lucrative offer to visit a celebration in Mallorca for the wealthy superfan Javi. Contacted by the CIA to spy on the suspected cartel boss, the actor's unique performing skills proves useful. This Saturday, evening, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone
Scott Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller stands strong even without a continuation. Located in 1978 Denver, a series of kidnappings has left the children on edge. After Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and held captive in a dungeon, he dreads the worst. Yet the non-functional line in the room repeatedly calls, with eerie communicators giving advice, while the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen could save him. A solid creepfest. October 11th, 10.50pm, the Film4 channel
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between God and Mammon, the victory is clear for Mammon in Showalter's wonderfully garish biopic of the disgraced religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals commence capitalizing on the people's religious faith. It's a riot of tacky decor, overdone appearance and bad faith, though Chastain manages to show the character as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, early morning, the Film4 channel
The Spy Mystery
This week's another release from Steven Soderbergh is a spy mystery as sharp like the turtlenecks used by Michael Fassbender's intelligence officer. He is tasked with uncovering a mole inside the organization out of five possibilities – among them is his spouse. Both actors are masters of calm composure, resulting in an engaging psychological game of deception or honesty takes place. Additional actors take part the clever spy entertainment.
