This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's bold critique tackles the oppressive nature of feminine aesthetics and the perceived horrors of ageing. Hollywood star Demi Moore presents a brilliant performance as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star demoted to hosting a workout series on the small screen. Forced aside by her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she undergoes a mysterious and gruesome process called this experimental method. This creates a younger clone named Sue, leading to an increasingly vampiric relationship among both women. October 17th, Paramount+
This Mystery Thriller
This Agatha Christie-esque thriller features Keira Knightley in the role of Laura, a top-notch writer who takes a hiatus from writing about global conflict to board a high-end voyage accompanied by a terminally ill Scandinavian billionaire and charitable figure, her spouse, plus additional extremely wealthy guests. But after an unknown lady falls into the sea during the evening and all passengers denies she ever existed, Laura's investigative instincts awaken. Available now, Netflix
This Supernatural Story
Soderbergh tests his creative boundaries with this clever supernatural story filmed completely from the perspective of a ghost. When a household including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their fresh home, the filming device – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. The teen shows signs of sensing the ghostly being, and it looks like defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that remains concise, including a revelation you might not see coming. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Cage fully commits to his cult stardom through this meta comedy caper. He plays a self-obsessed Hollywood actor called Nicolas Cage who takes on a lucrative offer to visit a festive event on the Spanish island for billionaire superfan Javi. Contacted by government spies to investigate the suspected cartel boss, his unconventional method comes in handy. Saturday 11 October, prime time, the Channel 4 network
The Black Phone
The director's claustrophobic thriller remains effective without requiring a continuation. Located in the late 70s in Denver, a series of child abductions has left the youth frightened. After Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and held captive in a cellar, he fears a fatal end. But the disconnected phone on the wall keeps ringing, with ghostly voices offering help, while the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister may be his salvation. A solid creepfest. Saturday 11 October, late evening, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation regarding the shamed TV preacher and her felon spouse. Garfield plays the corrupt Bakker, who states early on, claiming divine approval for wealth. He and Tammy Faye set about profiting from the American public's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and insincerity, yet Jessica Chastain achieves to present the real-life figure with compassion. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
The Spy Mystery
This period's additional entry by the same director delivers a intelligence thriller as tight similar to the collars used by Fassbender's intelligence officer. His assignment is to discover a mole inside the organization from five suspects – among them is his spouse. Both actors are masters of understated style, leading to a delightful mind game of deception or honesty unfolds. Additional actors participate the clever spy entertainment. Friday 17 October, various showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
