Highlighted Choice
The Substance Film
Director Coralie Fargeat's unflinching critique examines the demanding standards for feminine aesthetics as well as the dreaded aspects of ageing. Hollywood star Demi Moore presents a brilliant performance as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star forced into presenting an aerobics show on television. Pushed out thanks to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she turns to a mysterious and terrifying process called this experimental method. This produces a younger clone portrayed by Margaret Qualley, resulting in a progressively vampiric relationship between the two. This Friday, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10
This Agatha Christie-esque story features the talented actress in the role of Laura, an ace reporter who takes a break from writing about world issues to join a high-end voyage accompanied by an ailing Norwegian shipping heiress and charitable figure, her spouse, as well as other extremely wealthy guests. However when an enigmatic female disappears from the ship overnight and all passengers claims she was never there, the reporter's sleuthing skills kick in. Out now, Netflix
This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh pushes his creative boundaries with this clever paranormal narrative captured wholly from the perspective of the spirit. As a family featuring mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their fresh home, the camera – AKA the Presence – tracks their movements. Chloe seems conscious of the supernatural presence, and it seems defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? It's a fun idea that remains concise, with a twist that may be unexpected. October 11th, 4.35pm, 10.10pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
The iconic actor fully commits to his unique fame via this meta comedy caper. He acts as a narcissistic celebrity playing himself who takes on a lucrative offer to attend a birthday party in Mallorca for the wealthy Javi Gutierrez. Hired by government spies to investigate the alleged criminal, Cage's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” is put to the test. Saturday 11 October, evening, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone Horror
The director's claustrophobic thriller remains effective even without a sequel. Located in 1978 Denver, a series of kidnappings has made the children on edge. After Finney is taken by the villain and imprisoned in a dungeon, he anticipates a fatal end. However, the disconnected phone on the wall continues to ring, with ghostly voices providing assistance, while the prescient dreams of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. A genuinely scary movie. Saturday 11 October, late evening, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for materialism in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top true story regarding the shamed televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield portrays the venal Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple set about profiting from the nation's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of tacky decor, overdone appearance and bad faith, yet Jessica Chastain succeeds to show the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, late night, the Film4 channel
Black Bag
This period's second offering by the same director delivers a intelligence thriller as tight similar to the collars used by Fassbender's intelligence officer. He is tasked to identify a traitor inside the organization out of five possibilities – among them is his own wife. Both actors are experts of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging mind game of fact versus fiction unfolds. Additional actors participate the clever spy entertainment. October 17th, various showings, the Sky channel
