This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's daring commentary addresses the oppressive nature of women's appearance as well as the perceived horrors of growing older. Demi Moore presents a masterful portrayal as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star forced into starring in a fitness program on television. Edged out by her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she turns to a mysterious and terrifying procedure known as this experimental method. This creates a younger clone portrayed by Margaret Qualley, culminating in an increasingly vampiric relationship between the two. October 17th, Paramount+

Presence
Soderbergh pushes his directorial skills through this innovative supernatural story captured wholly from the viewpoint of the phantom.

This is an entertaining concept that doesn't outstay its welcome, featuring a surprise you might not see coming. Saturday 11 October, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema

The Black Phone
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective despite the lack of a sequel. Set in the late 70s in Denver, a series of child abductions has left the youth frightened. After Finney is kidnapped by “the Grabber” and held captive in a dungeon, he dreads the worst. But the disconnected phone on the wall repeatedly calls, with spooky callers giving advice, while the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, the Film4 channel
This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story regarding the shamed televangelist and her criminal husband. Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who proclaims at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple begin profiting from the American public's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, though Jessica Chastain manages to present Tammy Faye with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, late night, Film4
