Highlighted Choice
This Satirical Thriller
Director Coralie Fargeat's unflinching commentary examines the tyranny of women's appearance and the perceived horrors of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore presents a masterful portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old celebrity reduced to starring in a workout series on the small screen. Edged out due to her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she seeks out a secretive and terrifying treatment titled this experimental method. This creates a new version of herself portrayed by Margaret Qualley, leading to a steadily more parasitic dynamic among both women. October 17th, the streaming service Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This Agatha Christie-esque mystery includes the talented actress as Laura, a skilled journalist who opts for a break from writing about global conflict to board a high-end voyage accompanied by a gravely sick wealthy inheritor and charitable figure, her husband, plus additional extremely wealthy guests. However when a mysterious woman disappears from the ship one night and everyone denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills kick in. Streaming currently, on Netflix
Presence
Steven Soderbergh challenges his film-making abilities with this innovative ghostly tale filmed completely through the eyes of the phantom. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the lens – AKA the Presence – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of aware of the ghostly being, and the entity appears guarding her. Yet what is the reason? It's a fun idea that remains concise, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Nicolas Cage wholeheartedly adopts his eccentric image in this self-referential adventure. He acts as an egotistical Hollywood actor playing himself who accepts a million-dollar gig to attend a birthday party on the Spanish island for the rich superfan Javi. Recruited by the intelligence agency to spy on the alleged criminal, Cage's unconventional method is put to the test. Saturday 11 October, prime time, Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
Derrickson's locked-room horror remains effective even without a follow-up. Set in 1970s Colorado, a series of disappearances has made the youth anxious. When Finney is kidnapped by the kidnapper and locked up in a dungeon, he dreads a fatal end. But the old telephone mounted nearby continues to ring, with spooky callers offering help, as the prophetic visions of his sister Gwen may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. Saturday 11 October, late evening, the Film4 channel
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for greed in Showalter's delightfully tacky true story of the disgraced TV preacher and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield plays the venal Jim, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals begin capitalizing on the nation's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of bad interior design, bad makeup and hypocrisy, however Chastain succeeds to show Tammy Faye in a likable light. Tuesday 14 October, late night, the Film4 channel
This Espionage Thriller
This week's additional entry by the same director delivers a espionage tale as sharp like the turtlenecks worn by the actor's intelligence officer. He is tasked with uncovering a traitor within their ranks out of five possibilities – including is his spouse. The two stars excel of understated style, resulting in an engaging psychological game of deception or honesty develops. The supporting cast take part the clever spy entertainment. Friday 17 October, various showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
