This Supernatural Story
Soderbergh tests his film-making abilities with this innovative supernatural story shot entirely from the viewpoint of the phantom. After a clan with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the filming device – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The teen shows signs of conscious of the poltergeist, and it looks like guarding her. But why? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, including a revelation that may be unexpected. This Saturday, multiple showings, Sky Cinema
This Self-Referential Film
The iconic actor embraces his unique fame through this self-referential adventure. He plays an egotistical Hollywood actor playing himself who takes on a million-dollar gig to visit a celebration at a Mediterranean location for the rich superfan Javi. Contacted by government spies to gather intel on the potential kingpin, his “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. Saturday 11 October, prime time, on Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
The director's claustrophobic thriller remains effective even without a follow-up. Set in the late 70s in Denver, a series of child abductions has left the youth frightened. Once Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and imprisoned in a dungeon, he fears a fatal end. But the disconnected phone on the wall repeatedly calls, with spooky callers offering help, as the prophetic visions from his sibling Gwen could save him. An effective horror. October 11th, nighttime, the Film4 channel
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the battle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Garfield plays the venal Jim, who states early on, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals commence profiting from the people's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, though Jessica Chastain manages to depict the real-life figure with compassion. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, the Film4 channel
Black Bag
The current week's additional entry from the filmmaker is a intelligence thriller as sharp like the turtlenecks worn by the actor's British agent. His assignment is with uncovering a double agent inside the organization out of five possibilities – one of whom is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. The two stars excel of understated style, leading to a delightful mind game of fact versus fiction develops. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the clever spy entertainment. October 17th, 8.05am, 12.55pm, 8pm, Sky Cinema
