This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's unflinching commentary addresses the demanding standards for feminine aesthetics as well as the perceived horrors of ageing. Demi Moore offers a brilliant performance in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star forced into starring in a fitness program on TV. Pushed out thanks to her slimy boss Harvey, she seeks out an enigmatic and terrifying procedure titled "The Substance". This produces a new version of herself called Sue, resulting in a progressively vampiric relationship between the two. This Friday, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This Agatha Christie-esque story features Knightley as Laura, an ace reporter who opts for some time off from writing about world issues to join a luxury cruise accompanied by a gravely sick Scandinavian billionaire and charitable figure, her husband, and other extremely wealthy passengers. But after an unknown lady goes overboard one night and everyone claims she was never there, her journalistic curiosity take over. Available now, Netflix
Presence
Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities with this nifty paranormal narrative shot entirely from the perspective of a ghost. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the camera – representing the ghost – tracks their movements. Chloe seems aware of the supernatural presence, and it looks like protective of her. But why? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, including a revelation you might not see coming. Saturday 11 October, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Nicolas Cage embraces his eccentric image through this autobiographical spoof. He plays a narcissistic Hollywood actor playing himself who agrees to a $1m payday to appear at a birthday party at a Mediterranean location for billionaire superfan Javi. Recruited by the intelligence agency to investigate the potential kingpin, his unconventional method is put to the test. Saturday 11 October, 9pm, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone Horror
Derrickson's locked-room horror stands strong despite the lack of a sequel. Located in 1978 Denver, several kidnappings has made the youth on edge. When Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a basement, he anticipates a terrible outcome. However, the old telephone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices offering help, while the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. An effective horror. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for materialism in this director's wonderfully garish film adaptation of the disgraced TV preacher and her felon spouse. The actor plays the greedy Jim, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye commence monetising the people's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, though the lead actress succeeds to show the character as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, late night, Film4
Black Bag
The current week's additional entry from the filmmaker delivers a spy mystery as sharp similar to the collars worn by Fassbender's British agent. He receives a mission with uncovering a mole inside the organization out of five possibilities – including is his spouse. Each performer are masters of calm composure, leading to a delightful mind game of fact versus fiction develops. Additional actors join in the clever spy entertainment. October 17th, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema
