The Substance Film
Director Coralie Fargeat's bold critique examines the demanding standards for feminine aesthetics and the dreaded aspects of growing older. Hollywood star Demi Moore presents a masterful performance as Elisabeth, an aging actress demoted to presenting a workout series on TV. Pushed out thanks to her slimy boss Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she seeks out a secretive and gruesome treatment titled the Substance. This produces a youthful duplicate portrayed by Margaret Qualley, culminating in a steadily more parasitic dynamic among both women. Friday 17 October, Paramount+

This Supernatural Story
Steven Soderbergh tests his directorial skills with this clever ghostly tale filmed completely from the perspective of the spirit. As a family including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe moves into their fresh home, the camera – AKA the Presence – follows them around. The teen shows signs of conscious of the supernatural presence, and it seems guarding her. However, the motive remains? The premise is enjoyable that remains concise, featuring a surprise that may be unexpected. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema Premiere
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Cage embraces his unique fame in this meta comedy caper. He plays an egotistical film star named Nicolas Cage who takes on a million-dollar gig to appear at a birthday party in Mallorca for the rich Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Recruited by the intelligence agency to investigate the potential kingpin, the actor's unconventional method proves useful. This Saturday, prime time, Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
Scott Derrickson's contained scarefest stands strong even without a continuation. Located in 1978 Denver, a series of child abductions has rendered the children frightened. When Finney gets captured by “the Grabber” and locked up in a dungeon, he dreads a fatal end. But the disconnected phone mounted nearby keeps ringing, with spooky callers offering help, while the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen could save him. A solid creepfest. Saturday 11 October, nighttime, on Film4
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the conflict between spirituality and money, the winner is obvious for greed in Showalter's wonderfully garish biopic regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse. The actor portrays the corrupt Bakker, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. Both individuals set about capitalizing on the people's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of tacky decor, overdone appearance and bad faith, however Chastain manages to show the real-life figure as a sympathetic figure. October 14th, 1.15am, the Film4 channel

The two stars are masters of deadpan cool, resulting in an engaging mental battle of truth or lie takes place. The supporting cast join in the clever spy entertainment.
