Pick of the Week
This Satirical Thriller
The filmmaker's bold critique examines the oppressive nature of female beauty along with the dreaded aspects of advancing years. Demi Moore presents a masterful portrayal in the role of Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star reduced to presenting a fitness program on the small screen. Edged out thanks to her unscrupulous employer Harvey, she turns to an enigmatic and horrifying treatment titled this experimental method. This generates a new version of herself called Sue, culminating in a progressively toxic connection between the two. October 17th, Paramount Plus
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This classic whodunit story includes the talented actress in the role of Laura, an ace reporter who takes a hiatus from reporting on world issues to embark on a luxury cruise alongside a gravely sick Scandinavian billionaire and charitable figure, her spouse, and other affluent guests. However when an enigmatic female disappears from the ship overnight and the entire crew denies she ever existed, the reporter's sleuthing skills take over. Out now, on Netflix
Presence
Steven Soderbergh challenges his creative boundaries through this clever supernatural story shot entirely from the viewpoint of a ghost. When a household including mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their recent residence, the lens – as the unseen entity – tracks their movements. The teen shows signs of conscious of the ghostly being, and it looks like guarding her. But why? It's a fun idea that avoids overstaying, featuring a surprise that could catch you off guard. October 11th, afternoon and evening times, Sky Cinema
This Self-Referential Film
Cage wholeheartedly adopts his cult stardom through this meta comedy caper. He plays a self-obsessed celebrity called Nicolas Cage who accepts a lucrative offer to attend a festive event on the Spanish island for the wealthy Javi, played by Pedro Pascal. Contacted by government spies to investigate the suspected cartel boss, his unconventional method comes in handy. October 11th, evening, on Channel 4
The Black Phone Horror
Derrickson's claustrophobic thriller stands strong even without a follow-up. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, a series of disappearances has rendered the youth anxious. Once Finney is taken by the villain and held captive in a cellar, he anticipates a terrible outcome. However, the disconnected phone on the wall keeps ringing, with spooky callers offering help, and the prescient dreams of Gwen, his sister might rescue him. An effective horror. This Saturday, nighttime, the Film4 channel
This Dramatic Portrait
In the battle between spirituality and money, it's a knockout win for greed in this director's brilliantly over-the-top biopic regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse. Andrew Garfield acts as the greedy Jim, who declares at the beginning, “God does not want us to be poor,”. The couple set about profiting from the people's spiritual convictions. It's a riot of bad interior design, bad makeup and insincerity, though Jessica Chastain achieves to show Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Tuesday 14 October, early morning, Film4
The Spy Mystery
This week's another release from the filmmaker delivers a espionage tale as tight similar to the collars worn by the actor's British agent. His assignment is to identify a mole among the team from five suspects – among them is his own wife. Both actors are experts of understated style, resulting in an engaging mind game of deception or honesty takes place. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the intelligent intelligence fun. This Friday, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema Premiere
