Top Selection
The Substance Film
The filmmaker's bold commentary addresses the tyranny of women's appearance along with the dreaded aspects of advancing years. Hollywood star Demi Moore offers an inspired acting turn in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star forced into hosting a fitness program on TV. Pushed out by her unscrupulous employer her manager Harvey, she turns to a mysterious and horrifying process titled "The Substance". This produces a youthful duplicate named Sue, culminating in a steadily more parasitic dynamic between them. October 17th, Paramount Plus
The Woman in Cabin 10
This Agatha Christie-esque story stars the talented actress playing Laura, a skilled journalist who decides to take a hiatus from writing about international wars to join a luxury cruise with an ailing wealthy inheritor and philanthropist, her partner, as well as other extremely wealthy guests. However when an enigmatic female goes overboard overnight and all passengers insists she wasn't real, her journalistic curiosity take over. Out now, the Netflix platform
Presence Film
The acclaimed director pushes his directorial skills through this nifty ghostly tale captured wholly from the viewpoint of the spirit. When a household with Lucy Liu as Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their new suburban house, the filming device – as the unseen entity – follows them around. Chloe seems aware of the poltergeist, and it seems defensive toward her. However, the motive remains? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, with a twist that could catch you off guard. This Saturday, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere
This Self-Referential Film
Nicolas Cage embraces his unique fame via this meta comedy caper. He acts as an egotistical film star named Nicolas Cage who takes on a $1m payday to appear at a birthday party in Mallorca for the rich Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Hired by the intelligence agency to gather intel on the suspected cartel boss, the actor's unique performing skills is put to the test. October 11th, 9pm, the Channel 4 network
This Creepy Thriller
Derrickson's locked-room horror remains effective despite the lack of a sequel. Taking place in 1978 Denver, a series of disappearances has left the youth anxious. When Finney is taken by “the Grabber” and locked up in a dungeon, he anticipates a fatal end. However, the disconnected phone in the room continues to ring, with ghostly voices offering help, as the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. An effective horror. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, the Film4 channel
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the conflict between God and Mammon, the winner is obvious for greed in Showalter's brilliantly over-the-top film adaptation about the fallen TV preacher and her criminal husband. The actor plays the corrupt Bakker, who states initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple begin monetising the nation's religious faith. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, yet Jessica Chastain manages to depict Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4
Black Bag
This period's another release from the filmmaker delivers a intelligence thriller as tight like the turtlenecks sported by Fassbender's UK spy. His assignment is with uncovering a traitor within their ranks from five suspects – one of whom is Kathryn, played by Cate Blanchett. Each performer are experts of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging psychological game of truth or lie unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the clever spy entertainment. Friday 17 October, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema Premiere
