This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's bold satire addresses the tyranny of feminine aesthetics and the perceived horrors of growing older. Demi Moore offers a brilliant acting turn playing Elisabeth, a mature film star reduced to starring in an aerobics show on television. Pushed out by her slimy boss Harvey, she undergoes an enigmatic and gruesome procedure titled the Substance. This creates a younger clone named Sue, resulting in a progressively toxic connection among both women. October 17th, Paramount Plus
This Mystery Thriller
This suspenseful mystery includes Knightley playing Laura, a skilled journalist who decides to take some time off from covering international wars to embark on an opulent ship alongside a gravely sick wealthy inheritor and philanthropist, her husband, as well as other filthy rich guests. But after a mysterious woman disappears from the ship overnight and all passengers claims she was never there, her journalistic curiosity take over. Streaming currently, Netflix
This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director pushes his film-making abilities in this clever paranormal narrative shot entirely through the eyes of the spirit. As a family featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe moves into their recent residence, the lens – representing the ghost – follows them around. The daughter appears aware of the supernatural presence, and it looks like defensive toward her. Yet what is the reason? This is an entertaining concept that avoids overstaying, including a revelation that could catch you off guard. October 11th, multiple showings, Sky Cinema Premiere
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage embraces his cult stardom through this meta comedy caper. He plays a narcissistic film star named Nicolas Cage who accepts a lucrative offer to appear at a birthday party on the Spanish island for the wealthy Javi Gutierrez. Hired by government spies to investigate the suspected cartel boss, Cage's unconventional method proves useful. This Saturday, evening, Channel 4
The Black Phone
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller remains effective despite the lack of a sequel. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, a series of child abductions has left the local kids frightened. When Finney is taken by the kidnapper and locked up in a cellar, he anticipates the worst. However, the disconnected phone on the wall repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices providing assistance, as the intuitive nightmares of Gwen, his sister could save him. A solid creepfest. October 11th, nighttime, Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for greed in this director's wonderfully garish film adaptation of the disgraced televangelist plus her lawbreaking partner. Andrew Garfield acts as the venal Jim, who states at the beginning, claiming divine approval for wealth. He and Tammy Faye commence monetising the nation's religious faith. It's a riot of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, though Jessica Chastain manages to present Tammy Faye in a likable light. October 14th, late night, on Film4
Black Bag
This week's second offering by the same director delivers a spy mystery as sharp like the turtlenecks sported by Fassbender's UK spy. He is tasked to identify a mole within their ranks out of five possibilities – including is his spouse. The two stars are experts of understated style, so a delicious mental battle of truth or lie develops. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the clever spy entertainment. Friday 17 October, multiple time slots, the Sky channel
