This Supernatural Story

Steven Soderbergh pushes his film-making abilities in this clever supernatural story captured wholly through the eyes of the phantom. After a clan including mother Rebekah and her distressed teen Chloe moves into their new suburban house, the lens – representing the ghost – shadows their actions. Chloe seems conscious of the ghostly being, and it seems defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? The premise is enjoyable that doesn't outstay its welcome, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, the Sky channel


This Self-Referential Film

The iconic actor fully commits to his unique fame through this self-referential adventure. He acts as a self-obsessed Hollywood actor named Nicolas Cage who agrees to a million-dollar gig to attend a celebration on the Spanish island for the wealthy superfan Javi. Recruited by the intelligence agency to gather intel on the alleged criminal, his “nouveau shamanic acting ability” is put to the test. October 11th, 9pm, Channel 4


The Black Phone Horror

The director's claustrophobic thriller stands strong without requiring a sequel. Located in 1978 Denver, a series of child abductions has rendered the youth frightened. After Finney gets captured by the villain and held captive in a basement, he dreads the worst.

October 11th, late evening, on Film4


This Dramatic Portrait

In the struggle between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for Mammon in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation about the fallen TV preacher and her felon spouse. The actor portrays the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, claiming divine approval for wealth. He and Tammy Faye commence monetising the people's Christian beliefs. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, however Chastain succeeds to show the character as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, 1.15am, on Film4
