This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's daring critique addresses the demanding standards for feminine aesthetics along with the perceived horrors of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore presents a brilliant portrayal playing Elisabeth, an aging celebrity forced into hosting a workout series on TV.

Presence Film
The acclaimed director challenges his creative boundaries with this clever paranormal narrative captured wholly from the viewpoint of a ghost. As a family featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the lens – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. The daughter appears conscious of the poltergeist, and it looks like guarding her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema

The Black Phone
Scott Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective without requiring a continuation. Set in the late 70s in Denver, several child abductions has made the children frightened. After Finney is taken by the kidnapper and locked up in a basement, he anticipates a terrible outcome. However, the non-functional line in the room continues to ring, with spooky callers offering help, and the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie.

This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between faith and wealth, it's a knockout win for greed in Showalter's delightfully tacky true story regarding the shamed religious broadcaster and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who proclaims initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin capitalizing on the American public's religious faith. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however Chastain succeeds to show Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, Film4
Black Bag
The current week's additional entry from the filmmaker is a intelligence thriller as sharp like the turtlenecks used by Michael Fassbender's British agent. His assignment is to identify a traitor inside the organization from five suspects – among them is his own wife. Each performer are masters of understated style, so a delicious mind game of fact versus fiction takes place. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela take part the clever spy entertainment. October 17th, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, the Sky channel
